Sections on HAZE from Gamer TV and Gamer TV extra were shown yesterday.

Footage was shown on the 4 player co-op. It shows the simplicity of the feature that allows players to drop into a game without needing to go through a lobby. Players are able to replace a bot into other peoples games whenever they want. People are able to mix 2 player split screen, LAN and internet play together however they want with the limitation of 4 players.

Two levels were shown using co-op. The footage included a look into the vehicles on the ‘promise hand’ side. On one of the levels the players had to clear a village full of Mantel troops before making their way up a mountain. People are able to cure other players when they are in trouble. The other level showed two players on a small quad bike called ‘The ‘Macho’ (Stag). One player had to shoot down Mantel troops while the other had to carefully make its way through a jungle onto a beach. Here an obstacle was found. A player had to use a Mantel turret to destroy it and kill some Mantel troops along the way.

On Gamer TV extra a scene was shown when Shane realises the truth about Mantel. In this scene you are shown a container full of dead Mantel troops in which another character shows you. He then explains how Mantel are only using the war to prevent people from copying Nectar. Mantel have no right to be fighting at all. Soon into the scene the person is shot leaving you alone. From here onwards you switch sides.

If I find a video of this feature from gamer TV on the internet I’ll make sure to embed it here.
