General Overview
Dystopia places the player into tense combat situations in a high tech world spanned by computer networks. As either Punk Mercenaries (Punks) or Corporate Security Forces (Corps) the player will fight through the physical world to gain access, via jack-in terminals, to cyberspace.
The Dystopia Demo features three maps; dys_Vaccine, dys_Fortress and dys_Silo. On each of these maps, the Punk team is attacking a corporate fascility, attempting to complete a series of objectives. Players on the Corp team must do their best to stop them.
Regarding Teamplay
The central premise of Dystopia is the co-dependence of players fighting in the real world and players decking in cyberspace. The number 1 priority for each team in a round of Dystopia is having their deckers realworld body protected while he's busy in cyberspace. With only a few exceptions, it is always best for your team to have at least 1 decker. 2 is better than 1.
When you first enter the game you'll select your team (use auto assign!), select your class, weapons and implants. Hovering your cursor over the options will display some information. The Light class can pack the most implants and is also the only class that can select the stealth implant. The Medium class has fewer head and body implant slots available. The Heavy class can only select 1 small head implant and 1 small body implant, but they make up for the lack of implants with raw firepower.
The best piece of advice is that no matter what loadout you select you can be an asset to your team, you'll also be rewarded with points for helping your team in many different ways. The 4 most helpful things you can do for your teammates are;
1) Select the Cyberdeck
2) Protect your decker's body
3) Select the mediplant implant and follow close to your teammates
4) Select the TAC Scanner implant and point out enemies for your team (when you scan, all near by teammates get to see too).
Pressing tab not only shows you the current scores, it also makes your objective list visible. This will show you what phase the round is currently in and what your team's objective is...
