The first table of the section, it handles all the multiplayer gameplay types available.

The majority of the fields are split up into two major categories:

  • Play: Normal multiplayer (i.e. head to head, player vs. player. Also called PvP).
  • Coop: Cooperative mode (i.e. players work together, player vs. environment. Also called PvE).

After that, they are split up again into 3 sub-categories:

  • Local: The mode can be played on a single system.
  • LAN: The mode can be played on a Local Area Network (or LAN).
  • Online: The mode can be played on the Internet with other users.

All that remains are two alternate gameplay setups:

  • Hot-seat: Multiplayer can be played with a single keyboard/mouse combo or controller. Also known as "Pass-and-Play".
  • Asynchronous: Multiplayer is turn-based (i.e. gameplay is not in real-time).

General rules

  • Fill in only the fields that apply to the game.
    • If a game has either LAN or Online support, both the LAN and Online rows need to be filled in for that particular gameplay type.
      • Ex. If the game has support for online coop, fill in the the LAN Coop and Online Coop rows.
    • If a game only has Local support, the LAN and Online rows for that particular gameplay type will be set to "false".
  • The Players field for each row displays the maximum amount of players that particular network setup can support.
    • Do not provide range values (i.e. 1-32).
    • Some games require dedicated servers to hit the true max player count.
      • Ex. Creating a multiplayer game in-game will allow the max player count to be only 16, while a dedicated server run externally can support up to 64.
  • If a gameplay type is restricted to a specific mode (ex. LAN Coop can only be played on Horde Mode), provide the name of the mode in the notes field.
