Am I the only one that is actually looking forward to Bioshock 2, even if it might be a huge letdown?

BigDaddy mode looks kinda interesting.... Let's hope they focused more on creating solid single player adventure that keeps up with the original.

I guess it could be good.. but looks real basic.
Bioshock 2 doesn't NEED multiplayer, it'll go the way of Darkness where an awesome game is dragged down by its forced multiplayer.

@thecleric, i completely agree, bioshock is awesome in singleplayer, i dont think i ever met someone who played the game and said, "man this game needs online multiplayer".

This trailer just makes me feel more strongly that Bioshock 2 doesn't need multiplayer, from this it just feels forced and tacked on.

This looks bad, personally I like more of a tactical multiplayer, rather than the runnning around spray and pray this seems to be promoting.

No I don't like the sound of that seeing on how being Big Daddy is like god mode. I want to see single player. I could care less about multiplayer.

@Damien: No. It's still my most anticipated game in development. I have to say, though, the multiplayer looks a bit messy. The singleplayer still looks amazing, so I'm rooting for that.

And....my expectations continue to plummet. I know about the delay but honestly I could have done without BioShock 2 for another four or five years. 
 
Everything about this game makes me picture the developers as puppets on strings being totally manipulated by business suits. You could say that's a common thing and I'm just being hard on this game, but the effect is amplified because the first game didn't feel this way at all. Never thought I'd say this considering how much I loved BioShock but this is really looking like a pass.

Looks like a typical multiplayer mode. Still hoping the single-player campaign will be very good.

I realise that this opinion cannot be valid as I havent played it, but this is meant to advertise the game?

What made Bioshock such an amazing game was the story, setting or environment, and the narrative not the shooting..They're focusing on the wrong elements of Bioshock..

I actually thought it looked good, with the exception of the Splicer performing what appeared to be a Big Daddy charge (at about 50 seconds in), that was kind of stupid. 
 
Ironically, despite me being the only person in these comments who seems to like it, I don't really play multiplayer games, so I wouldn't have ended up playing this mode either way.

Well, this looks like a big, unbalanced mess! 
 
I don't see why 2K is pushing the multiplayer for a primarily single-player game. Then again, I'm not actually sure why they're making a sequel in the first place.

Who's going to play this with all the other great multiplayer games it has to compete with?

Not loving this trailer. It seems like a decent diversion. But I hope they keep the single player the main focus of the game.

I wonder about how they regulate powers per match, and what choice of avatars you get.
 
I assume the Rosy pops up sort of like the monsters in Left 4 Dead, where you get to hop into the pilot's seat once in a while.

I can't say I want to play Bioshock for multiplayer. Still, I still have hopes for the single player.

Because it is the utter opposite of everything Bioshock 1 stood for.

How so? We havn't even seen the single player yet apart from a small one minute scene, the multiplayer is just an add on top of the single player.
 
I dont even think the original "stood" for anything, it was just a really good FPS.

Scrap multi and please just put the extra bodies on making the single player awesome. Bioshock doesn't need multi-player. And looking at that trailer...well i hope the single player doesn't suck.
