Teams take turns playing as the Titan Station Security Force (human team) Setting and Charactersĭuring the 23rd century, Earth’s population found themselves suffering resource and energy crises, causing world government EarthGov to begin research on solutions. Multiplayer is a 4 vs 4 multiplayer gamemode that consists of team-based matches, broken down into two rounds each. Taking on the roles of either a team of up to four Sprawl Security Officers or a pack of up to four Necromorph players, the Security Officer players must complete objectives, such as arming a powerful bomb, while the Necromorph players must attempt to stop them from completing their objectives. Dead Space 2 is the first game of the series to offer objective based competitive multiplayer. Also unlike the first game, chapters are not named in-game. The game is completely linear, with no tram stops or loading screens throughout the story. Like the first game, the primary enemies are the ‘Necromorphs’ heavily mutated human corpses.

Players can now navigate zero-gravity environments in 360-degree motion, via a system of thrusters attached to Isaac’s RIG.

Kinesis is now faster and now allows for impalement using pointed objects such as a Slasher’s blades, a mop, and poles. Players are now required to hack to access certain areas, which is managed via a minigame. The gameplay in Dead Space 2 is far more varied than in Dead Space. Following his nightmarish encounter on the USG Ishimura, former engineer Isaac Clarke arrives on the Sprawl, a civilian space station built on the remains of Saturn’s moon, Titan, which was broken into pieces in a planet-cracking operation. Unlike its predecessor, Dead Space 2 has a multiplayer mode, pitting human characters against necromorphs across the Sprawl. Set three years after the events of the first game, the game follows protagonist Isaac Clarke’s fight against a new necromorph outbreak on the Sprawl, a space station surrounding a shard of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan.
