does SH4 have multiplay ???

Hi, just looking on various sites at the specs & they mention single player but no mention of multiplay, does anyone know if I am able to link up over Lan as SH3?

Thanks.

It does indeed have MP. A new an improved MP over SH3. They call it the adversarial mode. Neal is going to be posting a part 2 to his SH4 preview, which will detail a little more information on the MP side of the game. It's coming "soon."

Here's an excerpt from a dev chat from 01-Jan-07. The devs had the following to say:

"SH4 was designed with both single player and multiplayer in mind, as both parts are very important for us. True, Silent Hunter is more of a Single Player experience, but we believe that the new adversarial gameplay mode will change multiplayer in a significant way."

Look again. Not only will it have coop multiplay again, but there is also a new mode where one player can coordinate enemy escorts vs. human-controlled sub(s)
