    Hey all,

    I was wondering if there is any way to get matchmaking for multiple players over an Xbox Live party (so not local players, but via Xbox Live). I was playing with a friend yesterday and we could only do one versus one but I had the impression this game was a three versus three maximum potentially.

    Also, how do you get the tweet Hashtag bomb's to work? I tweeted to the game code we were using but the tweet I used did not seem to have any affect on the game.

    Thank you.

    You can play the multiplayer with up to eight people, either on the same console or online. When playing online the game always matches you against an equal number of opponents. So if you go to play online by yourself the game will create a 1 vs. 1 match, or if you go online with two players on your end you'll end up with a 2 vs. 2 match.

    I haven't tried the hashbombs yet so can't comment on those.

    @isomeri:

    So there is no way of having three people on my friends list play on my team versus another team?

    @johnlocke: Not right now, I don't think. The game is constantly under development, so I wouldn't be surprised if they added such features in the near future.

    The lead developer confirmed they are working on 4 player online play from 4 consoles and it will be patched in eventually.

    Playing online is abysmal with any amount of lag, so I wouldn't get your hopes up too much for online multiplayer. It slows the whole game down rather than doing any predictive positioning type stuff.

    Local multiplayer is pretty great though.
