The official Xbox Magazine has the first details about
multiplayer for Duke Nukem Forever (supplied by developer Piranha Games) and the fan site Duke4.net
has posted up some scans of the magazine's story. There will
be 10 maps at launch and four modes: Dukematch, Team Dukematch, Hail to
the King (basically King of the Hill mode) and our favorite Capture the
Babe. Yes, it's CTF with the flag turned into a lady who can sometimes
freak out while your player character is holding her.
- 4 gameplay modes: Dukematch, Team Dukematch, Capture the Babe and
Hail to the King (King of the Hill mode). Dukes on other teams will
have either red or blue shirts.
- 8 player max, 4 vs 4 teams only
- In 'Capture the Babe' when you grab the other teams babe sometimes
she'll start to freak out as you take her back to your base, so you
have to give her a gentle smack to quiet her down
- 10 maps at launch, maps include; remade Dukeburger where all Dukes
are miniature running around a giant world, 'Morning Wood' old west
town, Vegas Casinos, etc.
- Jetpack only shows up in some multiplayer maps, isn't in single player
- Holoduke will be just like Duke 3D, but this time around the player
becomes cloaked, allowing for sneak melee kills
- Steriods allow Duke to do one hit kill punches, also allows for
faster run speeds, cannot use weapons, not sure if their immune to
Shrinker anymore like in Duke 3D.
- When shrunk by the Shrinker, the mini-Duke can still use weapons, but
they only do 10% of the normal damage
- You can plant trip bombs on players and enemies
- Confirmed weapons; pistol, shotgun, ripper chaingun, pipebomb, rpg,
shrinker, railgun, freezer, devestator, tripbomb. Can only use 2
primary weapons at once along with pipebombs and tripbombs.
- As you kill other players you gain experience points, which, when
acquiring enough of them, you can spend the points on customizing your
Duke. Basic kills get basic points, but specialty one time achievement
kills like killing someone when using the holoduke or funny kills like
killing yourself with the pipebomb by accident, gives you bonus points.
