Kane and Lynch is re-inventing online multiplayer!

Tired of Capture the Flag, Deathmatch, and all the norm? Well look no further.

Deathmatch? Deathly boring. Capture the flag? Go capture it yourself. Assault? More like ass-ault. We admit that even we can get a little bored with traditional multiplayer game types. So you can imagine our excitement when the developers of Kane and Lynch said that their brand of online action was so fresh, so radical that they can't believe that no one's thought of it yet.

When playing K&L online (known as Fragile Alliance), you'll be part of a bank heist. Basically, your squad will try to grab as much loot as possible, taking out cops and other security measures all the while. If you notice that a teammate has a sack a bit fuller than yours (or you just want to pad your sack a bit more) you can, as they say on the streets, kill him. But once you do so, the whole team knows, and they likely won't take kindly to it. Even if you do get popped, you're still in the game, reincarnated as a police officer, allowing you to take delicious vengeance on your killer.

We don't know all the ins-and-outs of Fragile Alliance yet, but, suffice it to say that we can't wait to get our hands on it.

Bank Heist! That's so cool! I really can't wait for this game to come out. :)
 
That is pretty cool. I guess. I dunno, isn't the loot just sorta like flags? In a twisted way, it sorta is. You try and get money from the bank(other team's base) while making sure you don't lose your money(flag), and get it back to your 'base'. :/
 
Conker's Bad Fur Day, a game that came out some 6 or 7 years ago, had a multiplayer mode actually called heist that played similar to this one. I'm not saying that this game is just filling the status quo, I'm saying that it's amazing it took this long for another developer to capitalize on the incredible idea. CBFD was an amazing game because of the incredibly strange multiplayer modes it had, hopefully this game will follow suite.
