It's time to take back the city and wash the scum off the streets. By day, gangs and the mysterious Cell patrol the streets of Pacific City. A viral outbreak has decimated the city and reduced The Agency to a husk. That’s not where the multiplayer side of Crackdown 2 ends, however. Pacific City needs heroes now more than ever. Four-man contests to see who can throw a dead body the furthest off the bridge into the ocean? Yes please. According to the info on the game’s official page, Crackdown 2 will double up on the multiplayer mayhem by allowing up to four players to work co-operatively in the game’s campaign mode.
