As it turns out, there's strategy involved in the game's 16-player online matches – just of a different (and more familiar) sort.EARS (yeah, it doesn't like that acronym either) began development of the game's online component knowing that it wanted it to be influenced by single player, and vice-versa. So, for starters, you can't play multiplayer until you've recruited at least one soldier in single player. That character can then be used online, leveled up, and will retain his "upgrades" in the single-player game. %Gallery-39728%
