Online Multiplayer coming to Flight Control HD via Game Center

To celebrate the upcoming release of Game Center on iPad with iOS4.2, Firemint have today announced that Flight Control HD will soon offer Online Multiplayer via Game Center.

Flight Control HD is enhanced for iPad with more content and features. It is the proud recipient of a prestigious Apple Design Award for “improved game mechanics enabled by the large iPad screen”, and for being “a great example of innovative gameplay, outstanding use of Multi-Touch, and superb attention to detail”

Most multiplayer games pit friend against friend, and Flight Control HD includes an iPad exclusive “versus” map for those with a competitive streak. The heart of Flight Control multiplayer however, is co-op gameplay, with friends working together to keep the chaos under control.

“Multiplayer over WiFi or Bluetooth on the five original size maps will soon be joined by online multiplayer via Game Center. Players will be able to invite a friend, or choose to be automatically matched to a random player anywhere in the world. The update will also include Game Center achievements and leaderboards, as well as iOS4.2 optimization including multitasking support – making it even easier to drop in and out of a game whenever you have a spare moment”

Firemint are hoping to have the update ready for when iOS4.2 is released.
