GameTrailers has revealed Dead Space 2's multiplayer component, which appears to borrow heavily from Left 4 Dead's formula, pitting humans against Necromorphs.

The human players in the video appear to be tasked with completing objectives, while the Necromorph players attempt to chew some throats. The humans get weapons from the singleplayer game and even retain the ability to slow enemies with the Stasis ability.

The video is embedded below for your enjoyment. I guess that's what the Left 4 Dead Hunter looks like without his hoodie. Come on, EA... that's pretty blatant.

Personally, im glad that more multiplayer games are delving into the idea of asymetrical teams. CoD seems to have started a trend where both teams are identical in every aspect aside from their looks. Inspite of how much of a bad rep it got, one thing that I loved about medal of honor was the fact that what side you chose really made a difference.

Halo: Reach's multiplayer component appears to borrow heavily from Doom's formula, pitting players or teams of players against each other. Come on, Microsoft . . . that's pretty blatant.

Since when did deriving a multiplayer model from a successful game become blatant copying? While this doesn't look all that fun, I'm not really rolling my eyes here.

Still on the fence. MP in a horror-survival game doesn't sit with me. With L4D, it's more action-survival, and it works, but I never had that feeling of wanting to play but was too scared to play with L4D as I do with DS.

Wow, I thought it would be like a co-op survival like Mercenaries in RE5. But this does not sound too bad, can't wait.
