Kane & Lynch 2: Dogs Days is set to deliver an intense and highly gritty single player adventure. But the game is also setting out to give fans a robust multiplayer component which we have our first details to right now.
The classic multiplayer mode of the first Kane & Lynch, "Fragile Alliance," returns in Kane & Lynch 2. In this multiplayer game-type players must work together as a team to escape with as much of the loot as possible from a heist. However, you can choose to betrayal your teammates and steal all the money for yourself. If you're one of the unlucky souls betrayed by your partner you'll die and respawn as a cop to prevent the rest of the heist. This mode is playable by 8 players.
"Arcade Mode" is new to Kane & Lynch 2 and is the equivalent of a single player Fragile Alliance game. The objective here is to assist the Alliance in escaping with as much of the loot as possible, with players getting paid if they survive. With each new round the difficulty is ramped up and your partners become more nervous about sticking around with the getaway car since the cops are beginning to crack down harder.
The third multiplayer gametype of Kane & Lynch 2 is called "Undercover Cop," adding an extra layer of paranoia to Fragile Alliance. At the beginning of each round an "undercover cop" is chosen from the group of players and it is his/her job to bring down the heist from the inside. The cop will be required to kill his "teammates" at his/her own discretion in order to win the round. Undercover Cop is playable by 8 players.
The final gametype is "Cops & Robbers" which is essentially the Kane & Lynch version of attack and defend. Robbers will be required to protect their score whilst the cops are trying to retrieve it. With each new round the teams will swap sides and at the end of four rounds, to the victors go the spoils. Cops & Robbers is playable by 12 players.
