Team Deathmatch and Rescue modes confirmed.
First details on Tomb Raider new multiplayer mode have come out of the Official Xbox Magazine. A forum poster has provided the breakdown. According to the magazine Crystal Dynamics acknowledges fans will be wary of changes but as previewed by the magazine, the creation and execution are coming from the right place.
At least two modes are confirmed. Team Deathmatch pits a team of Lara Croft's surviving allies against a group of hostile natives known as scavengers. The winner is the best of three matches which alternates between sides. The maps are said to be not very wide open but feature traps such as spikes out of walls and climbable surfaces + destroyable environmental elements like bridges and weaponry like Lara's now trademark bow and arrow.
The second mode Rescue sees survivors collect a certain amount of medical packs to deliver to rotating destinations. Scavengers are tasked with reaching a certain kill count. The mode gives survivors a bleed-out time, which you can cut short with a brutal melee finisher.
A third game type, Cry for Help is hinted in the mag. It will apparently place strong emphasis on discovery any collection and adventure as opposed to combat.
Other details include
Players can select from a deep roster of characters with different states and loadouts. Weapons include primary firearm/bow, sidearm, grenade style projectile, climbing axe that serves as a melee.
XP gained can be applied to stats and purchasing more advanced characters.
There is a map called Wind Chasm, a tropical environment with traps and vantage points.
Lara does not appear to be a playable character in multiplayer. Though players can choose multiple of the same character.
Some single-player actions have been sped up.
The bow can be used to distract enemies.
There are quick-time events.

So..... is this just ripping off Uncharted Multiplayer or what? Lara is not even playable, but it seems heroes vs villains kind of thing. Also a bit of gears of war in there *sigh* Well, I cannot say I will be playing multiplayer much, but I will give it a try. I love UC multiplayer, but I don't appreciate TR just trying to be UC here. Lara is not even playable in multiplayer. Sure makes lots of sense.
Thoughts? More interested in single player and I cannot wait.
