Had the opportunity to play a little deathmatch action this past weekend with one of my nephews. Only played the classic deathmatch "Slayer" mode, did not play teams, juggernaught, cpature/flag, etc.
It was pretty fun as he's a better player than me. My wife also played, but since she never played before, was little more than a target for the 2 of us.
I liked the maps which included vehicles, which can dominate players on foot (although car jacking a vehicle is fun) and add a different element. In the maps without vehicles, the energy sword just plain dominates.
All-in-all, I've been having fun playing, and am looking forward to the holiday weekend to hopefully get to play some 4 player matches and try some of the other multiplayer modes.
