Never heard of a specified "Multiplayer Mode", only Online, Offline and Village. But the aWC is spot on, so Dax, it's not much of a difficulty change but it's enough to make the quests seem like they're longer. Besides, once you make it to G-Rank, every quest will take you 25+ mins to finish until you start upgrading weapons/armour and even then the final G-Rank quests can still be freakin' hard at times.
