Wolfenstein Multiplayer Details
Ensuring a deep variety of action, Wolfenstein provides gamers with an assortment of interlinked missions that drive an intense, story-driven combat experience; while the Wolfenstein multiplayer experience continues the world-renowned tradition of class-based team objective gameplay with a full arsenal of conventional and supernatural weapons for addictive online warfare.
TEAMS
There are two teams in the game, each capable of holding six players. So each match can be up to 6 vs. 6 – with hosts being able to reduce the maximum players when creating a server.
The Resistance – residents of the city of Isenstadt who have taken up arms against the Nazis in an attempt to stop their experimentation and violence against the citizens of Isenstadt
Axis – German soldiers who must protect their experiments so that their army can win the war.
GAME MODES
Team Deathmatch – Battle to the death. Take up arms with either the Resistance or the Axis. Team with the highest score wins the round.
Objective – Help the Resistance complete objectives to thwart the Axis, or help the Axis defend their research and experiments.
Stopwatch – Take turns completing the objectives in this timed mode. The team with the fastest time wins the round.
VEIL POWERS
Each class in the game now has access to the Veil. While every class can enter the Veil, each of them also have their own specific Veil Power, and these are detailed below. Entering the Veil or using a Veil power will drain a player’s Veil energy and he will have to wait for it to recharge, or find a Veil pool to recharge it faster.
