Multiplayer is a mode of play for
computer
games and
video games where two or more
gamers can play in the same game at the same time, co-operatively as a
clan (or team) or
head-to-head competitively (often referred to as
deathmatch) . Multiplayer mode
may be a split screen where the gamers play at the same time on one system, or
where gamers play on separate systems connected to a
LAN or
Internet game
server.
