Gamespot a pu jouer à la dernière version de PainKiller et le trouve très bon. Leur article décrit en détail les principaux modes multijoueurs (outre les classiques DM & co). Et le plus apprécié semble People Can Fly, le mode des camarades du PCF :
In PCF, all the players are dropped into a large, circular room with a very high ceiling. Everyone has a rocket launcher that fires a bouncing projectile, and the rules are simple: As long as your feet are on the floor, you can’t be killed. However, if you hit someone with a rocket, they’ll bounce into the air, depending upon the angle and velocity of the projectile’s impact. If players do get launched into the air, they become vulnerable and can be killed.
So, in essence, the game represents a crazy battle between players who try to launch one another into the air so that they can be killed. The easiest way to score a kill seems to be to bounce a player near a wall so that you can then use the splash damage from the rocket to kill him or her. If you manage to shoot someone out of the air, you’ll receive triple the normal amount of points.
Le jeu sort la semaine prochaine en France.
