Default My idea for Batman multiplayer

Large scale games of cat and mouse,but for a Batman game,it'd be Batman characters,I think it'd be cool if the maps reflected different ages.Picture it.Say there is a golden age level.Batman has the large ears and small purple gloves,Grayson is Robin and the thugs are dressed in pinstripe suits with Tommy guns,switchblades,and brass knuckles.Then in another,Richard Grayson's Batman and Damian Wayne is Robin and you fight Professor Pyg and his Dollotrons at an abandoned amusement park.Now,here is where it gets interesting.Depending on the theme of the level,gameplay and design vary.For example,in the aforementioned golden age level,Batman won't have a magnetic powered grappling gun,he'll have a rope and grappling hook.He wouldn't have remote controlled batarangs,but he'd have batarangs,and the.45 pistols he used in his first appearance.(For disarming only,Batman doesn't kill)In this level also,Batman may have to rely more on stealth,as in the golden age,they didn't have kevlar bodysuits.In the new levels with

Grayson as Batman.You have a totally different gameplay style.Yes,you have high tech gadgets,and all of the dollotrons are unarmed,but they have one thing you don't,strength in numbers.Now,sure you could grapple up to the top of a roller coaster,but eventually,they'd start scaling the sides.So,you use strategy.Maybe,you plant some explosive gel on the support beams,and when they begin to climb,bombs away.or you could run and gun with Robin at your side.In other words,take your chances with 10 pounds of kevlar,a fist,and a prayer.On top of that,you have to keep enemies restrained,not always does Batman deliver a KO punch,so you have to tie them up,and their teammates could just as easily cut them down while you are occupied.

I like the golden age idea. Sounds alittle like Team Fortress 2 spies. It also takes out the idea of Bat-god which helps cause then being other characters like Robin would work. Very cool.

Yep! Thats how we roll here. Don't use language like that here Kain, while you might have had a good thought with defending the thread, it's always best to just argue if someone here comes and explains why he/she doesn't feel like multiplayer is a no-no.

They would have to change the Free-flow concept (which i love) drastically to make it multiplayer.
