Multiplayer

Been having a lot of fun with the game, tried out most of the game modes and am now going with sprint for the king of the hill multiplayer. the game has a certain amount of replayability but the limited amount of classes and items so you could run through the whole game within 10 hours(additional dlc excluded) then get bored with it.
