EA's latest addition to the Need for Speed franchise gets a new gameplay mode.
Today EA announced a new Cop and Robbers gameplay mode for its upcoming
Need for Speed Undercover. This new multiplayer mode will see two teams of four players attempting to outwit and out-drive their opponents. This mode is online only and will appear in the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the game. Here's the official word on what you can expect to see:
Robbers must pick up the package and take it to the drop-off point while the cops attempt to prevent the delivery. Each game consists of two rounds giving the players the chance to play as cops and robbers. Up to eight players will also be able to prove their driving prowess in sprint and circuit multiplayer race modes.
"High-intensity police chases are a signature component of Undercover and this extends to the multiplayer experience as well," said Bill Harrison, Executive Producer at Black Box. "The cops and robbers mode will thrust players into adrenaline-pumping battles as they utilize the Heroic Driving Engine to deliver or prevent the delivery of the package to the safe house."
