One of the new features is called Frontline, which divides the whole map into two – territory that is of the allies, while the other is occupied by the enemy. This situation is always changing as it can drastically influence the course of events since you and other players will have options and abilities based on what side of the Front Line their units are on.
The AI has also been balanced and enhanced in line with the new mechanics, making sure that it will intelligently counter the player, giving a deeply satisfying gameplay experience.
As for the multiplayer modes, they have been completely changed having been entirely rebuilt from scratch. The modes now bring a suite of options to the game which include tournaments, leagues, personal ratings, customizable lobbies, dedicated servers, and more. One of the key additions that players will be able to see is the auto-connect feature, which returns players to the battle if there are any connectivity issues.
Competitive matchups can now be played in different modes from 1v1 to 5v5 – where the 5v5 mode will require teamwork, as each player will have their specialization depending on their choice of battalion. For example, one may focus on infantry, another on tanks, and a third on artillery. In addition, all battalions have been balanced to make multiplayer battles unique. You can add the game to your wishlist right now be heading over to its Steam page or the Epic Games Store page.
