    Are arena games suddenly realizing adding respawns to reduce time wasted loading games is not a bad thing?

    Sounds pretty damn good to me.

    Global Operations is a PvP and PvE hybrid game mode that is unique in the genre, blending longer term strategy with moment to moment tactics. In Global Operations, players participate in large scale, dynamic battles.

    This mode introduces improvements to the core Armored Warfare rules, including:

    • Respawning to allow players to be engaged in the battle for much longer
    • Primary objectives that change throughout the match
    • Secondary objectives called “wild cards” that change the shape and direction of the battle in exciting ways
    Each match in Global Operations will be a living, breathing battle space that expands on our existing team and class interaction, adding more opportunities for players of all skill levels to contribute toward their team's victory.

    This mode is an evolution of the genre and delivers more of what you are looking for in a modern vehicle shooter based on your feedback, combining the popular conquest style gameplay with elements of PvE.

    i haven't had any interest in any new BF or COD game for years since they're all been-there-done-that (or any other round-based shooter for that matter). THIS looks fun as hell and it's cheaper than battlefront for shits'n'giggles playtime

    checked the website and they don't have any estimates on release for this update, any word on the street?

    Very, very soon. As in: imminent. As in: was supposed to be out for the birthday event last week but it had a few tweaks left.

    This aside, those who played 5 matches last weekend with the event got an IS-7 tier 3 Premium for free!
    And it's damn good too! Gun handling is bad but it hits hard and it armor profile is epic at that tier.

    It's an okay tank, I like the T-59 Legendary better though. I didn't think I would like the Chinese tanks but I'm please so far at tier-4.

    (We have a Borg battalion, but I accidentally left..(stupid sausage fingers)..I need an invite back.)

    To be honest, I'm not even sure if the "leader" of this game's group is still with the borg. Will need to ckeck it out.

    Wow! That was fun! It has a start cap of tier 5, so nothing lower than that for Global Ops. Tier 5 and up, which can pose problems for the MM apparently.
    Earlier, Magnus and I were doing pretty good with ye ole' "Shake-n-Bake" with his Scout Fox and my LT Stingray. The highest tier tank was a Tier 7 and Magnus was a 5 and I a 6. When the Tier 8's and 9's started to show, it put a wet blanket on the evening.
    All in all it was quite fun. There are objectives to get, battlefield unlocks to help your team, point to capture and defend. There is of course the B-2 Air Strike which is beautiful :slow:

    Much much fun.

    The game mode is genuinely fun, but the matchmaker is kind of fucked. I recommend playing during peak gamer hours for best results.

    Am I the only one that participates in Armored Warfare? I don't see anyone else usually. Global warfare is really fun.
