BioShock 2 Screenshots: The Geyser Trap

6
Illustrating the new "Geyser Trap" plasmid, a few new screenshots of BioShock 2 have appeared over on official community site The Cult of Rapture. With its single-player handled by 2K Marin and 2K Australia and Digital Extremes on the multiplayer aspect, BioShock 2 hits PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 3.
BioShock 2 boasts new plasmids and tonics for the enterprising Rapturian to play with. Today, we're going to be focusing on Geyser Trap, and showing one way you can use this plasmid during a multiplayer match.

Geyser Trap allows you to shoot out a burst of water that can be used both defensively and offensively. You can fling it at an oncoming opponent to rocket them up into the air, or set the traps in key locations to trip someone up as they, for example, pass through a doorway.

In our screenshot series, however, we are using Geyser Trap defensively. A Big Daddy is coming to decimate our Splicer, faster than we can get away. But with a flick of the wrist, we can throw down a Geyser Trap and run onto it, propelling us up and over the head of the Big Daddy and out of harm's way.

From there, we have several choices. Is there a balcony to jump on to? Should we come down and face the Big Daddy, or aim ourselves such that we land behind the firing range of the rivet gun, and run for our dear lives?

Luckily, Geyser Trap gave us a moment to think and to hopefully figure that out.

    I don't remember this many spoilers for Bioshock 1. I didn't know anything about the first one going in to it. So I can't say that I'm really looking forward to this just because there aren’t going to be any surprises left.

      You could just ignore all the publicity. There was plenty for the original Bioshock that I deliberately avoided, and if you're looking forward to the sequel then a similar course of action is advised.

      This isn't spoiling anything. Don't worry about that.
