Today we finally learn a bit about the multiplayer element we can look forward to when Rage hits shelves this September.
One mode, called ‘Rage Combat Rally’, and as the name implies, features vehicular combat. While players race around trying to explodenate each other, the ‘Rally’ mechanic kicks in. As players drive over an initial ‘rally point’ a score multiplier kicks in, increasing for each additional point hit, the multiplier increases. The rally points are dynamically generated to appear a close to and infront of the player.
The second mode offered will join two players in specifically designed co-op levels that branch off from the main single-player story. For instance, one level has players acting out the sheriff’s raid on the RC car-bomb factory; an event that is referenced during the single-player campaign.
Along with the online reveal, id showed two new areas of the game; Subway Town and the Prison. Lastly, the pre-order bonuses have been revealed. Users who pre-order the game will get an exclusive armor set, custom dune buggy, the Fist of Rage melee weapon, and a double-barreled shot-gun. Neat.
