EA follows the footsteps of GTA IV online play
EA Black Box revealed the new online modes in Need for Speed Undercover today, including a new multiplayer mode: Cops and Robbers.
Cops and Robbers is exactly what it sounds like. Two teams of four will be pit against each other, with one team playing the cops and the other acting as robbers. Robbers will need to pick up a package and take it to the drop-off point while the cops-team tries to stop them. Each game goes for two rounds, giving players the chance to play as both sides.
"High-intensity police chases are a signature component of Undercover and this extends to the multiplayer experience as well," said Bill Harrison, Executive Producer of Black Box. "The cops and the robbers mode will thrust players into andrenaline-pumping battles as they utilize the Heroic Driving Engine to deliver or prevent the delivery of the package in the safe house."
It sounds like a page out of Grand Theft Auto IV's online mode, but that's where the similarities end. The other modes for Undercover consist of sprint and circuit multiplayer races.
The game's soundtrack also features over 30 songs from various artists, such as The Prodigy, Tricky and Justice. Those interested can sample some of the music at EA Trax.

1. At the start of these modes are cops going to get radars or alarm systems to notify when the robbers have picked up the package?
2. Does it begin once the package is picked up or is it a frenzy at the onset?
