     =====Online Campaign===== =====Online Campaign=====
    -...+**WipEout 2048's** **Online Campaign** works similarly to the **Single Player Campaign** in that you have a set of events with each event having a **Pass** and **Elite Pass** objective. However, the **Online Campaign** forgoes branches, instead having 20 continuous **Levels** consisting of various amounts of events, beating an event or failing the same event 3 times unlocks the next event in line.
      
     +The objectives for each event differ, being various combinations of the following:
     +  * Finish an event;
     +  * Don't finish last;
     +  * Finish in the top half;
     +  * Beat a specific opponent;
     +  * Hit any opponent with a weapon;
     +  * Hit any X opponents with weapons;
     +  * Hit a specific opponent with a weapon;

     +**The Online Campaign** consists entirely of **Single Race** and **Combat** events, with players being allowed to vote between the two using configurations chosen by the game after each race.

     +**WipEout 2048** features a **Community Tab**, where you can view activities posted by your PSN® Friends and see what they are currently up to. 
     + 
     +The left side of the **Community Tab** shows activities from friends that performed one or more of the following actions: 
     +  * Beat your **Personal Best** record on a **Leaderboard**; 
     +  * Reached **Player Rank** 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50; 
     +  * Beat a PSN® Trophy awarding event in the **Single Player Campaign**; 
     +  * Beat one of the **Season Finale** events of the **Single Player Campaign**; 
     +  * Beat a **Multiplayer Level** in the **Online Campaign**; 
     + 
     +Clicking on some of these activities will bring you directly to the event in question, allowing you to immediately jump into a race to improve or take back your record. 
     + 
     +The right side of the **Community Tab** shows which of your friends are currently online, they don't have to be playing **WipEout 2048** to show up here, but if they are the game will also show their **Player Rank** and what event they're currently playing, be it single player or multiplayer.

     +====Ghosts==== 
     +When playing **Speed Lap** mode the game can display a replay of a record's movements throughout the lap, which is called a **Ghost**.  
     + 
     +By default **WipEout 2048** will display a **Ghost** of your **Personal Best** time set on that track with the current **Speed Class**, if available, however, you can choose to instead load a **Friend Ghost** or a **Global Ghost** to compete against, or choose to have **No Ghost** at all. 
     + 
     +When choosing a **Friend** or **Global** **Ghost** the game will attempt to download the **Ghost** of the record ahead of you on that respective **Leaderboard**.
