Dark Sector multiplayer footage

Hot on the heels of our own video hands-on with Dark Sector comes brand new footage of the game's multiplayer mode. As we mentioned in our own video, Dark Sector's multiplayer is fairly unique among shooters. Those who have followed the game know that its protagonist, Hayden, has some very special supernatural powers, most notably his biological throwing blade. Rather than pitting a bunch of Haydens against one another, Dark Sector's multiplayer focus on pitting a group of normal soldiers against a single Hayden (or Hayden and another enhanced character in the case of team games). Hayden has the ability to create a shield or turn himself invisible, which gives him a much needed advantage against an entire squad of soldiers. Whoever takes Hayden down gets to play as him during the next round. We've played it and it works really well. Check out the new video after the break.

Damn, that looks good! Much better than I was expecting.

Think I might get this game now, as long as reviews don't slam it.

I've been really curious about this game since I first heard about it. Now I almost have to buy it. Is it using the Unreal engine? How tight is the frame rate? Yep, most def a game to keep my eye on. And I'm loving X3f tv, guys.
