The new next version beta is currently being uploaded, and includes the beginnings of a death math mode. You'll see an animated soldier running during the main menu. This is the death match selection, and sorry I'll get around to labeling it before the official next version ;)
Most important, this new NVB has _dRaMaTiCalLy_ improved net code. I would recommend this NVB even you plan on playing coop. Just download the version labeled beta test.
