Gameplay
The game would place the players in an enemy black ops setting trying to evade enemy guards and achieving objectives. Game objectives may see the players jointly working to plant charges, hacking enemy systems etc. Gameplay would be linear even though the players may choose different strategies to achieve outcomes. Gameplay elements include shooter elements, combat elements and some platforming elements like scaling covers, navigating with ledges etc.
Game Progression
Game progress is achieved when the players complete all the objectives assigned to them in a mission. These objectives may be just a single objective or a group of objectives.
Mission/Challenge Structure
Missions would typically consist of a number of enemy guards. Completion of objectives can be accomplished by evading the guards or neutralizing them. There needs to be an effective strategy in place to avoid attacks from multiple enemies at once.
Puzzle Structure
Since the game is more action oriented, puzzles are not planned as being part of the game.
Objectives
Each mission in the game will have its own set of objectives which the players must accomplish for progressing in the game.
Play Flow
Game flow would be linear with players completing the game level by level or section by section each of which have their own objective or set of objectives to achieve. The game flow would progress in terms of the main story line and letting know the players as to how the game characters are relevant to the story line. Like any usual game, missions at the starting would be a lot easier compared to later missions.
