The latest trailer from Ubisoft's Far Cry 3 introduces the game's four-person squad from its cooperative campaign mode.
The four player-controllable characters are Callum "the Scottish Thug," Leanard "the Crooked Cop," Mikhail "the Russian Hitman," and Tisha "the Ex Soldier." The plot takes place six months before Jason Vandenberghe's search for his girlfriend and centers around the aforementioned foursome being scammed out of money by pirates. The four then pursue the pirates to the island in search of revenge.
Here is the description of the Cooperative multiplayer game mode from Ubisoft:
"Quadruple the insanity in the whole new co-op campaign in Far Cry 3. With local and online split-screen on consoles, up to four players can reign havoc in paradise, all in the name of revenge. Watch the new trailer now featuring the Scottish thug, Callum."
The game cooperative mode has six distinct co-op campaign chapters and also unique challenges where gamers can compete with teammates for "top scores & bragging rights."
