For the people who have NO idea what the game is going to be like, think along the lines of these few games.
"Left 4 Dead series" - Drop-in/Drop-out with objectives to complete the chapter
"Fable 2-3" - Also drop-in and out with friends or random people. <--- Just imagine it in a MUCH larger scale...and with :gun:
These are just two...or four, rather, that i can name off the top of my head, if you think of any feel free to name them off!! :hehe:
