While what we have are only print-magazines scans, they still disclose the first details on the (Xbox 360 version) game's multiplayer, which will apparently offer up eight players maximum at any one time in four vs four teamplay modes. There are four gameplay modes in total which include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Hail to the King (capture the hill) and Capture the Babe (CTF). There'll be 10 maps at launch (meaning more to come in DLC) and in Capture the Babe, you'll have to "smack" the babe periodically to keep her quiet.
These details lack any mention of co-operative campaign play, a feature that was much-loved back in Duke Nukem 3D, so it's pretty safe to assume that it's not happening in Forever.
While a formal announcement has yet to come out of 2K or Gearbox, given that the Xbox 360 version is reportedly restricted to 8 players, it's also a reasonable assumption that the game won't offer any form of dedicated server support.

EDIT: Ok, just skimming thru it again. It was some sort of media event 2K Games and Gearbox put on in Las Vegas. The game was running on an Xbox.

from what I could tell their main gripe with it was the way a game like duke nukem needed to be approached, really needed to happen 10 years ago, as they "are trying to make a winning formula from last decade somehow work in this one" ( their words)
That and the dated looking graphics had them up in arms as well.

There seems to be a lack of old school run around and shoot the crap out of everything that moves type co-op, thankfully we have Serious Sam to fill that void. Alot of the co-op games these days tends to be focused around your team based cod/cs type game where you think about what your doing and use some sort of tactics. Sometimes it just more fun to switch your brain off.
It'll be interesting to see what mod support will be like, maybe someone will take co-op into their own hands.

I would like to think they're going to be showing special love to the PC community given the history of Duke so I'll hold out hope that they'll go the server route and there'll be more impact when you're playing this thing on PC (the fact that they would announce the MP details from an Xbox 360 demo of the game certainly does not fill me with glee though).

PCPP gave it 99% in its 1999(?) review, it must be good.
