Overview: Very good game for first-time players, especially groups of players that want to play a cooperative game.

Difficulty Easy, good for new players, but it has some tricky parts to it that you need to make sure players understand or else it can cause problems for them, like reloading and changing weapons.

Maximum Players Up to 5 players can play this game cooperatively, there is no versus mode

How to start a multiplayer game: Before starting a game, get all players to change the multiplayer region (There is a button on the main menu), choose the region that is closest to you. Then get one player to create a lobby, tell him to choose a difficulty, he should start at like 2 as it can be quite hard at a higher level. Also make sure he chooses the correct amount of players for the game, let him decide whatever level he wants, make sure holodeck is not enabled.

Tips
 * There is an obliterator weapon which is very confusing for new players, suggest players to use the pistols or machine guns.
 * The tricky part is reloading, it requires players to use the side grip button, which is difficult for beginners.
 * You should change the default weapon selection option to use the 2D UI. It is much easier for new players and it doesn't have the annoying devestator weapon.
 * There is an option to enable shooting items to pick up, this is useful as using the Graber weapon is difficult.
 * Maximum Players: 5
 * There are portals throughout the level that players need to throw grenades in, new players will not know this, you will have to tell them about this mechanic, but its not important for the first few games.
