Along with new Twilght Princess info, the latest Nintendo Power issue also contains Hunters details. They explain the multiplayer/online features; looks like the FPS essentials are covered.
Battle: Select Time or Deathlimit. Classic Deathmatch-Mode.
Survival: Like Battle but with limited lives.
Bounty: Find the Octolith and bring it to your base to get points. The player with the most points wins.
Defender: Defend a marked spot on the map. Like King of the Hill.
Prime Hunter: One player is the Prime Hunter – if someone kills him, he becomes the Prime Hunter. The one who was Prime Hunter for the longest time wins.
Capture: Players team up to steal the enemy’s Octolith and bring it to their base.
Nodes: Take control over several beacons. The player with the most nodes wins.
Hunters will only feature 4 player multi options, online or off. It may seem paltry, but unlike Halo 2, you can choose from more than 2 different characters. There are 4 different, highly detailed character models on the battlefield at once, all the time. And if you can’t even gather that many, bots will be selectable with individually set difficulty.
Single-card multiplayer will be an option, something the demo shoulda had. Like MKDS, all the players downloading will use Samus. There will be a wifi lobby similar to Mario Kart’s where you search for friends or worldwide strangers to frag. You also get to search for opponents with specific settings in place beforehand.
