"The cat-and-mouse hunt from the original Watch Dogs returns, enabling
one player to stealthily drop into another player's game and hack
their data, while their target hunts for them and tries to stop the
hack. The mode has been tweaked for a more balanced experience,
however, and the addition of bomb-dropping drones means that targets
have new ways to ferret out where hackers are hiding – and new ways to
deliver retribution."

.....

I guess will likely have to buy this one.  The multiplayer 1 on 1
hacking of Watch_Dogs has to be some of the most fun I've ever had in
gaming, period.  The fun factor was something like the first time I
loaded up Doom. There is just something about the cat and mouse chase
that is like nothing any other game has been able to achieve.  So fun
in fact I never got around to playing the single player game! lol

If you've played multiplayer modes that were basically about chasing
down and killing the guy with the flag, multiplayer hacking in WD1
would sound like that when described to someone who had never played
it, but once you actually try it you realize it's so much more.  Using
the environment to hide from your opponent, watching him at times walk
right past you as you blend into the surroundings, seeing if he can
detect subtle clues like the fact that the way you parked your car.

Then, if he does realize who you are, these EPIC chase scenes that are
like GTA on steroids, often ending in a rather intense shootout.

If they are able to at least capture everything that made MP hacking
in the first one so fun, I'll be pleased.  Improving on it, if
possible, will be even better.
