BioShock Multiplayer: Capture The Sister

There's new BioShock 2 details - a new multiplayer mode called Capture The Sister. The latest trailer reveals this mode to be a peculiar version of capture the flag, where the flag is a struggling demonic-eyed little girl, fought over by the crazed mutants and giant robots of Rapture. Which is... something tabloid newspapers wouldn't understand. Get her to one of the escape holes and you score a point for your team.

It's hard to ignore the uncomfortable feeling watching a player grab the screaming child and run off with her.
