Publisher My.com and developer Obsidian Entertainment announce that open beta
testing of Armored Warfare will begin for
everyone on October 8th, while those who have
purchased founder's packs for
the upcoming vehicular combat game will get in a week earlier on October 1st.
They have a new open beta
trailer to celebrate the news, and note that any progress or items purchased
in the beta will carry over into the full game when it launches. Here's word on
what the beta will offer:
Players can look forward to getting hands-on
with the following gameplay features during the Armored Warfare Open Beta:
Over 60 modern vehicles – Many of the most
powerful modern war machines mankind has produced are available in-game,
divided into the following categories: Main Battle Tanks, Tank Destroyers,
Artillery, Armored Fighting Vehicles, Light Tanks, and more.
PvP mode with 9 unique maps – Each map has
a distinct terrain based on real environments, such as refineries in the
desert, an airbase in the forest, a tropical island paradise, an abandoned
snowy town and much more.
PvE mode with 25 specially designed maps –
Players can join or create teams to carry out challenging missions against
computer-controlled opponents, taking on missions provided by the ‘Mercenary
Network.’ These missions provide progression and rewards with the same
in-game currencies and progression development as PvP mode.
The Base – A system that will allow players
to build their own “Private Military Company” base, research new facilities,
upgrade them, and get special gameplay bonuses and discounts for obtaining
reputation and credits.
Armored Warfare will continue to receive regular content updates in Open
Beta, including new PvP maps, new PvE missions, additional vehicles through
brand new dealers, considerable improvements to the Base system, and other
features that will be implemented ahead of the game’s official release. All
player progress and items purchased in the Open Beta will carry over to the full
release.
