PERATIVE OR DEATHMATCH PLAY Cooperative mode DeathMatch mode In Heretic multiplayer, you can either work with or against other players in the game — Cooperative or DeathMatch. You can choose which mode you wish to play from either the SETUP or the DM application. Cooperative mode is played much like a single-player game, except now there are more of you for the enemy to kill. The most important aspects to Cooperative gameplay are sharing the limited resources and coordinating attacks to avoid too much friendly fire. In DeathMatch, players begin in different areas and must hunt each other down. Each player starts with all the keys. The object of the game is to kill the enemy more times than he kills you. So that an area never runs out of weapons and items, most things reappear moments aiter they are taken. There are other gameplay options that can be used in Heretic multiplayer.
