From what I can tell, all the online multiplayer is done via game rooms hosted by a player.
For example, if you choose to play dungeon hunter online you can join a room from a list, or click host game. Up to 4 players in that game.
Unit 13 works the same way pretty much. You get a list of rooms to join and hop into one.
I have every bit of confidence that PS Vita will have competetive FPS games considering how well Unit 13 works in terms of control. They could easily add a versus mode update if they really wanted to. Would be better than the campaign anyway. The AI in unit 13 sucks. I'd rather fight other players.
I think Vita can survive FPS online play with Wifi, but I think 3G is too inheritantly unstable for it. Not a Vita issue, but enough of us have iPhones and know that single can very from 1 to 4 bars without moving.
I think that we are not going to get player rooms like Starhawk, or 256 player rooms like mag. 16 or 8 player maxes I think will be fairly standard, and more co-op (2 or 4 player) will become more common than vs FPS online games.
