Choose Your Faction for Local and Online Play
---------------------------------------------
In Armored Core V players join a faction and make strategic and
battlefield decisions based on the needs of that group. The
overall goal is to acquire territory, which can be altered, to
the detriment of rivals. As in earlier releases in the franchise,
players can customize their armored core mechanized combat units
to fit a variety of needs. In fact, Armored Core V allows for
more customization options than ever before in franchise history.
Players can upgrade and customize their mechs using 500+ items
such as head pieces, cores, arms, legs, and weapons. Armored
cores can also be outfitted with a wide variety of weaponry,
including new 'Over' weapons, which can destroy enemies with a
single round. Designed for strategic use, Over weapons are
available in three varieties: close range, long range, and area.
Mechs within the game can also be configured to a smaller size
than in previous games, making them faster and more maneuverable
than in the past. They are also more easily rendered, en masse in
online play. Once mechs are configured, they can be stored in
garages throughout the play area, making them available more
quickly, and as a squad, wherever the player may think that they
will be needed.
Players of Armored Core V who have a consistent broadband
connection also have to the option of creating a persistent
online profile. The profile allows for interactive online
multiplayer, in matches up to five-on-five. But online profiles
do not necessarily need to equate to online play. Once profiles
are setup, they can be used to track both multiplayer online
activities, as well as single player success.
