Once hostilities commenced, we liaised over a voice communication system with our comrades, meaning we could converse without the eavesdropping scumbag enemy - who sat opposite - overhearing our plans. We tried out a two-on-two play test, first selecting our factions from a choice of 12, picking our troops -which we decided upon with our team mates to make sure we had a balanced force - and then arranging our armies on the battlefield. However, you can have up to eight generals and four teams battling each other on a single map. Activision was proudly showing off Rome's multiplayer aspects at the show, even though, currently, there's only one type of mode - kill everything and everyone that's not on your side, just like in single-player.
