Duke Nukem Forever's Multiplayer Detailed, Involves Slapping Women

The Duke Nukem franchise is (in)famous for being a balls to the walls game containing a cringe style of humor. Some embrace it, while others, like parents and politicians, loathe it. This leads us to the upcoming Duke Nukem Forever game from Gearbox Software, and the Duke4 forums has spilled some beans regarding the multiplayer aspect of the game.

You get your typical 'deathmatch' (or 'Dukematch' in this case), 'King of the Hill', and so on, but a new mix on an old gametype will surely cause a frenzy. 'Capture the Flag' in Duke Nukem  Forever is now called 'Capture the Babe'; obviously, it involves teams capturing women. The kicker here is that players need to slap the women who occasionally get out of control in order to calm them.

This will surely grab some attention, but as the old saying goes, bad publicity is still publicity. Or...something like that.

  • Modes include Dukematch, Team Dukematch, Hail to the King (King of the Hill) and Capture the Babe 
  • There are ten maps.
  • Multiplayer includes persistent leveling and stats. Potential upgrades are yet to be shown.
  • There will be jetpacks, which are exclusive to the multiplayer section. 
  • At least on the Xbox 360 version, multi is limited to eight-player matches.
  • One returning weapon is the Holo-Duke, which adds the advantage of cloaking the user.
  • A multiplayer demo is planned to appear before launch.
