Here's what you do in this multiplayer beta: "This public Multiplayer Beta Test calls for stealth and weapon skills to sabotage an old mineral plant that terrorists are using as a cover to extract uranium for covert weapons manufacturing.

The most easy way to describe it would be "an amplified Counterstrike." The most difficult way to describe it would be without using adjectives. (From PA)

this map is very large and has three objectives.
first igi cooperatives plant the virus in the computer or if you are on the conspiracy team you want to defend the network and keep all igi away. there are two computers in this house http://www.shacknews.com/screens.x/igi2/IGI+2/1/121302/igi2_multiplayer_buy_menu_online.jpg which you walk up to and press use, it takes about five seconds to plant the virus as your character types loudly.
2:) you have to steal plans from one of two safes if you are igi, or defend if you are conspiracy. one safe is in this building which you can see on the close lefthand side http://www.shacknews.com/screens.x/igi2/IGI+2/1/121302/igi2_multiplayer_combat_online_02.jpg (if you notice the smoke coming from the house, thats the first objective about 1/2M away) this shot is inside the building on the close left http://www.shacknews.com/screens.x/igi2/IGI+2/2/121302/igi2_multiplayer_sandstorm_online_02.jpg the level above the door on the left there is a safe, there is also one in a brown house http://www.shacknews.com/screens.x/igi2/IGI+2/2/121302/igi2_multiplayer_spawn_online.jpg (mid right) outside which has two locked doors.

3:) plant (igi) or prevent or defuse the bomb (conspiracy). the bomb is given at spawn to a player at the begining, but with all the fighting at the two previous objectives its often lost, the bomb shows up as a red dot on your radar (radar hint: use your zoom in and zoom out keys to change the scale of the radar to get a better idea of the positioning of things displayed there). going back to this shot http://www.shacknews.com/screens.x/igi2/IGI+2/3/121302/igi2_multiplayer_timberland_online.jpg you can see on the right hand side a distant building, that is the lower bombsite, the upper bombsite is circled in red here http://apartment6.org/~lark/image-o-matic.jpg

As someone who lives in a Canadian province that's like, 85% trees, scenes like this make me sad. 1 tree every 20 ft.
This looks like a decent enough game, more akin to "Army Operations" -- or even "Vietcong" -- than Counter-Strike?

It is an okay demo. Does anyone get a bit bogged down when passing the bridge? It must be the overhead lights or something. They need to do some work on the gfx engine to make it smoother :\
A lot of fun sniping once you save up for the barrett (sp?)

in this picture if you look at the radar http://www.shacknews.com/screens.x/igi2/IGI+2/1/121302/igi2_multiplayer_combat_online.jpg
in the center there is a red dot, the red dot depitcs the bomb (since this player has the bomb, also shown in the bottom left on the hud) , and is only displayed to the attacking team. the two yellow dots are spawn points which also function as buy zones, so you can buy more ammo, guns, or a health kit for yourself. finally teammates are displayed as white dots. once again zoom in and zoom out keys (defualt mousewheel) changes the scale of the radar, so it can give you a good idea of how far away your teammates, a buy zone, or the bomb.
Map, the map functions as it did in the first igi.
default button is M, it shows you an overhead veiw of the map from your sattelite. it can show you enemies that are visible from the sky, as well as teammates. its pretty easy to use, and can be helpful if you are defending an enclosed room. just drag the map around with left click, and double click or use your zoom in/out keys.
