The Conduit 2 Confirmed

Though High Voltage isn't ready to spill the beans about specific[online] modes just yet, the studio promises a bevy of new gameplay types, as well as the return of the first game's innovative Bounty Hunter mode.

As you might expect, weapons like the Vortex Cannon will add a few wrinkles to online competition, as will the introduction of different character classes, each with unique attributes. You'll also be able to unlock suit upgrades that bestow your character with special skills; robotic legs, for example, will let you sprint greater distances."

"Right now, the plan is to have one primary suit slot and two secondary slots where you can equip upgrades, but that may change in the final game. From a purely cosmetic standpoint, you'll have tons of options to change your character's appearance using the same modular system the team uses to diversify enemies. For those who prefer to keep their gun fights local, Conduit 2 will feature a two-to four-player splitscreen option for all of the game's competitive modes.

And when you want to take a break from blasting your friends and loved ones, you can team up with them in the new co-op Invasion mode. Up to four players can join forces (either via splitscreen or online), and the challenges they'll face are unique to this mode. Further details remain under wraps, but we always welcome the chance to eradicate some alien scum with our fellow humans."

"Their first order of business: expanding the game's scope, "In the first Conduit, I think the core experience is very sold," says producer Josh Olson."

A setting that lends itself to being prettier: +

These are definite improvements that I think will make this game much better than its predecessor. Hopefully they can give the game a bit more character, which was it's primary lacking in the first.

Hopefully it won't just turn into a ripoff of both Halo and Bioshock.

I love how you don't post, but instead make a picture saying just what it is you would have said, but in a more compact and easy to read picture.

I jizzed a little

It looks like there are more boss battles!

That's something they lacked in #1.

No way it can be coming out soon though, I mean the original isn't even a year old.

Though they are making progress pretty fast. Considering those are obviously pre-beta screenshots they don't look too bad for a game half finished.

So long as they take their time on the key features and needed elements of an online shooter then this can turn out well.

I agree. As much as I want it, I dont think they should rush it. They have too many developers working on other games currently.

But, if they can finish their projects and have more developers available, then I could see it happening.
