Counter Operative is a two player split-screen multiplayer game mode. One player assumes the role of a guard and attempt to stop the other, who is playing as Joanna, from completing their objectives.

Sypnosis

As Jo, the player works to complete all the objectives given while avoiding or taking out the other player, whom would be just as weak as their AI partners. Which means Joanna is given a stronger health pool.

A random guard is controlled by the other player but if the character is too weak to continue play then the player can use a Suicide Pill. However special enemies (such as the snipers in Carrington Villa and the Hovercopter) cannot be controlled. The player is free to roam areas intially restricted to Jo but care is to be taken in dangerous areas. If all enemies in the level have been defeated or no longer spawn, the Counter-Op player, after being defeated, will always revive with no weapon in hand, and full health bar.

Additionally, the counter operative is assisted by the rest of the AI-controlled guards whenever they also see Jo and can be used as a distraction.

Joanna wins when she completes all her objectives but the Counter-Op wins if he/she manages to defeat Joanna.

Strategies

As Joanna

Joanna is tougher than the guards, your opponent controls, but don't let yourself get overwhelmed or trapped between the AI and him/her.

Be sure to exploit traps andor other measures to disorientare your foe.

Stay aware when approaching objectives as chances are that the enemy player may guard or ambush you.
