Intro

This thread is all about haze's online multiplayer.
Apparently haze has upto 16 player multiplayer online (though many sites still believe its 24 player e.g. gamespot:gamespot.com's haze multiplayer preview), 4 player co-op and two very different sides which boost players preferences e.g. mantel troops:run and gun or promise hand:sneak, hide and trick.

Game Modes

Some game modes differ depending on the maps these are some of the many game modes

Unnamed(Swamp):As PH you have to destroy Mantels nectar field with flamethrowers and as Mantel you have to turn on the sprinklers and defend the field.
Unnamed(Mantel Landcarrier:As PH you have to shut off mantels defenses so a missile can be launched at then land carrier and as Mantel you have to stop them.
Unnamed(POW):As PH you have to set prisoners free and as Mantel you have to stop them
Team Deathmatch
Capture the flag

Maps

This section is about the maps that have been revealed so far

Shanty Town:A small war-torn town, open spaces, tall bulidings for sniping, no vehicles

Swamp:A swamp complete with huts, mist and muddy water, good map for hiding(both sides), less visible traps, nectar foresight helps to see through the mist, no vehicles

Mantel Landcarrier:A "land ship" with tall towers, lots of vehicles, open spaces

POW:A Mantel HQ set in the middle of the jungle

Will update more later on this week

16 i thought it was 24 or was that cut down like the framerate?

well, i wonder that too. At first i read that it was 24 players online then it was cut down to 16. But some people are saying that it has been increased to 24 again. Can somebody tell me what is the real number of players online?

It's 16. I don't know where this rumour of an up to 24 is from - probably people who didn't know it had changed in the first place.

loads of website in 07 were saying that it was 24 players like game.co.uk official sites not rumours

lol, it was 24 players in mid-2007, but was lowered closer to launch. I don't think it's a big deal personally - 16 is plenty.

Be under no illusion all sites are guilty of posting inaccurate information at some point, seeing information posted on such sites is not confirmation that something is fact or not rumour, its only confirmation of how far word can spread lol

I find it a little strange that the details of the multiplayer are not 100% yet. I would think that the game modes would be finalized by this point.

I just want to confirm whether vehicles play a role in these MP modes? Can anyone confirm that. I have read yes before, so there must be some pretty decent sized maps and good team based modes.. I just wish there would be a quality preview of the whole multiplayer component.

If anyone has more details, I would greatly appreciate it..

Thanks.

I'm sure they are - just because we don't know them, or that some people are getting confused about them doesn't mean they aren't final.

Yes, vehicles are enabled in multiplayer. Multiplayer previews are expected soon, where we'll no doubt find out much more official information about MP.

For all the confirmed, (and some likely rumour), information, see the FAQ
thread.

hmmm. i wonder how the "assault" type mode will play into clan matches, considering theyll probably be rebel vs rebel. i wonder if the levels were built around the reb vs mantel dynamic. oh well, nice post

16 players is quite disapointing since COD4 has pretty tiny maps 18 players max and its still doesn't have the effect of a small battlefield
2 players less and much bigger maps(especially on maps with vehicles)

This should be disapointing UNLESS it has the effect of a battle like two halfs of a battlefield both shooting rather than COD4's sneaking around, hidind, waiting(Metal gear style).

the rebels would be hiding and the trooper will be running and shooting....

Where'd you get all this info on multiplayer from Tob1Uch1ha?

I personally prefer the sneaking way. But if both could be mixed in that would be perfect since I like the sneaking but I also like the run and gun in Resistance multiplayer.

Mainly a magazine I read every month called PSM3 it had a four page preview and a lot of info coz it was the 100th issue so it had 6 pages on MGS4 4 on haze a little bit on TS4 and its where the idea for TS2 HD came from

16 is just perfect. I wouldn't want half of the world playing online, like what they have done with resistance.

I hardly buy magazines anymore, maybe that's why. thanks though.

I think that no-one is gonna buy haze coz its in between two well known (and loved) gaming series GTA4 and MGS4(both of them I'm getting)

I have all 3 preordered Tob1Uch1ha


Scratch that theory
