We've seen quite a bit of the narrative-driven singleplayer component of Ubisoft's upcoming island adventure Far Cry 3 now, but today it seems that the veil has been lifted off the game's competitive multiplayer component. Unfortunately Ubisoft have not released any official multiplayer trailers yet, however the good folk over at VG247 appear to have landed some hands-on access with a detailed write-up on the game's competitive particulars and a narrated video demonstrating one of the game's core multiplayer modes, Domination. While the mode itself is quite common in the genre, there are a few different ways in which Ubisoft are trying to make this one stand out from the crowd.

Team support points grant access to powerful offensive weapons such as psyche gas, which can be unleashed on a handful of the opposing team, causing them to see every other player as a black-silhouetted demon of indeterminate team assignment.

Each round is bookended by an optional map tutorial, voiced by star-antagonist Vaas, and an interactive cut-scene in which the best performing player of the winning team is offered bragging rights over their opposite number on the losing side, opting either to beat them to death or free them.

Far Cry 3 is due on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on September 6th 2012.
