Doing it quickly is important, though, because they are on a timer.and they can be finished off by enemies. Should your aim be off and the Berserker manages to pummel a co-op partner into the ground, you can revive them up to six times. There aren’t many things more entertaining and exhilarating than seeing a lumbering Berserker alien get pulled away into the depths of an underground mine, or better yet: getting swiped off a ledge by a surge of rubble. Seeing the Nano Forge in motion is a blast, and the magnet gun is a thing of beauty (think: tether launcher). After that, you get a quick countdown timer, and the walls come alive with Martian bugs for you and your partners to squash. Once a map loads, you have several seconds to quickly map four weapons to your d-pad, and to specify a Nano Forge ability (pretty much limited to different shockwave-type attacks that recharge). Since they all have the same abilities and weapons, this is not a dealbreaker at all. Otherwise, you get randomly assigned a different skin (each game is allowed one of each skin). A customization menu allows you to choose either one of four characters or simply “random” if you specify a character, then matchmaking will try and get you into a game where that character is available. Choosing the online route grants you the choice of hosting a public match, hosting a private match, or matchmaking - basically, finding any random open slot. Choose offline (single player only), System Link / LAN, or Online / Live.
