Xbox Live Gold members get first crack at the newest Resident Evil 6 multiplayer modes.Capcom has announced that beginning today, Xbox 360 owners can take part in three exclusive new online multiplayer modes for Resident Evil 6. The release is a timed exclusive, meaning sooner or later PlayStation 3 and PC gamers can dig in, too, but there’s no word on when that will be.
Here’s a rundown of the new modes:
Predator
In a series of quick fire rounds, up to six players take their turn as the Ustanak with full access to its weapons, while the others must avoid capture or worse. Human players score points for successful attacks, but lose points for being caught or taken down. The match is over once everyone’s had a turn as the Ustanak, with whoever has the most points crowned as the winner.
Survivors
For two to six players, this is the Resident Evil 6 take on the classic solo and team deathmatch mode. Like Predator, you’ll compete for the highest score, but with a cool twist: Once a player is taken out, they respawn as one of the game’s enemy characters, and must then defeat another human character in order to return as their original player character.
Onslaught
A strictly two player mode, you and an opponent must clear waves of oncoming enemies. When a player completes a combo chain, it sends enemies over to their opponent’s screen. Sort of like Puzzle Fighter, but with zombies.
Each mode costs 320 Microsoft Points or all three can be bought as a bundle pack for 720 Microsoft Points.
