Hacktag - Split Screen - The Outerhaven

Hacktag is set in a parallel world in the year 2029, and puts players in the role of mercenaries hired by corporations who are vying for domination. The mercenaries are sent on espionage missions that require the teamwork of a stealth agent, who physically sneaks around levels, and a hacker, who works through a virtual network to affect things like door locks, cameras, phones, and even coffee machines. As the two agents work together to obtain data from various targets around the levels, the field agent must avoid guards while the hacker dodges net security traveling through the data lines.
