[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41808008/242c9d3127ca4b14729851e9363ab651db3745ff.png[/img] Now let’s get right into the meat of all that comes with this 1.0 release:[list] [*] [b]3 Factions:[/b] Global Risk, Black List, and New Horizon. [*] [b]66 Units:[/b] Each with distinct abilities and specializations. [*] [b]9 Commanders:[/b] Each with powerful game changing abilities. [*] [b]Campaign Acts I – IV:[/b] single-player, 15 missions. This narrative-driven single-player experience will take you on a globe-spanning campaign of military intrigue, as society stands on the verge of collapse. Solve diverse tactical challenges across a wide variety of environments: fight atop skyscrapers, dig into bayous, push through heavily defended military bases etc. [*] [b]Classic Versus:[/b] PvP and PvE, 5 maps. Fight to the death with and/or against other players and A.I.-controlled factions. Map list: Predator (3vs3), Mountainside(1vs1), Typhoon(2v2), Frostbite (1v1), Labyrinth (3v3) [*] [b]Payload: [/b] PvP and PvE, 8 maps. Work as a team to capture and escort three payloads to your opponent’s base, while securing falling crates that contain powerups. Map list: Tongren Facility (3vs3), Snowbase (2vs2), Refinery (3vs3), Badland (2vs2), Blacksite (3vs3), Domination(3vs3), Railyard (2vs2), Mountainside (2v2) [*] [b]Operation Thunderstrike:[/b] 3 human players co-op vs. A.I., on a dedicated map. Fight increasingly more difficult hordes of computer-controlled enemies, as you reinforce your base and complete side missions to unlock power-ups (VIP escort etc.). Can you hold until the end? [*] [b]Operation Northside:[/b] 3 human players co-op VS AI, on a dedicated map. Storm a fortified embassy and defeat an entrenched enemy A.I. with your friends. [*] [b]Brawl:[/b] PvP up to 3v3, on a dedicated map. Units spawn at your HQ automatically and auto-upgrade as the game escalates (based on your pre-selected deck loadout), letting you focus purely on action-packed tactics. Destroy all enemy HQs to win the game. [*] [b]Battlelines:[/b] PvP and PvE up to 3v3, on a dedicated map. The opposite of Brawl, focusing on macro-decisions and army composition. Place your units in formation and watch them spawn in waves that automatically fight towards the other team's HQs. [*] [b]Map Maker[/b] (with Steam Workshop integration) A powerful tool to create new PvP and PvE content but also share it easily with the community! Aside from the map-making aspects, the editor also lets players experiment with unit stats, camera bounds, audio cues, game logic etc.[/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41808008/b3251016912ec3c9b756da145b1a6fc4ddfcb89d.jpg[/img] Even if you’ve been diligently following us throughout Early Access, you’ll notice a ton of new content with this update - including items and changes based on your feedback.
