NEW MULTIPLAYER FEATURES (with Forces of Corruption expansion)

There are three new multiplayer features unique to the Forces of Corruption expansion pack..

MIRRORED GAME -
Players can now battle each other using the same faction. Each faction will now be on its own team. For exmaple, Empire team 1 versus Empire Team 2.

FREE FOR ALL -
Players can also now battle each other with the faction of their choice in three way skirmish battles. Playable factions are the Consortium, Rebels and Empire.

ONLINE CLAN SUPPORT -
A new clan ladder has been added and clan statistics. Players can join clans or 'teams' and compete against other clan members while trying to make their clan #1. Clan members choosing to participate in clan matches will have their games recorded and will be able to view their clan's ladder position and clan statistics online.
