So something that I love most about Chivalry is their Horde mode. I love the idea of being a team of few against a team of many. I've wanted Chivalry 2 for so long now so that maybe horde mode could be an actual part of the game (instead of a mod). This here is my wish for For Honor. Is for a Horde Mode to be possible canon.
And this is where it may get interesting and could set your game above all others.
You would get 4 different stories in Horde mode. Each story would happen based on what the team consists of. So if your whole team is a Samurai, then you get the Samurai Horde story. If it's all Viking, then a story of them. If it's a mix of both, make it a fun meta type story where it's an uneasy alliance between these factions.
Make these stories rich. Maybe something like Seven Samurai for their story. Have them try to protect villagers that have sought out their help. Have enemies become stronger and stronger, as the other side has realized that it won't take grunt to kill these heroes. Please no cap on rounds though. Have it be endless with certain bosses mixed throughout.
The team with mixed factions could be a lot more zany if you will. A situation with all 3 clan in one spot is weird as is, so you can make it a little more flashy and fun based. Have them fight zombies or something.
I've been dreaming of this kind of game ever since I was a kid. To be a warrior fighting against many. The odds are against me living through the night. Please if not in the game, make mods possible so Horde mode is there.

Well, i really like your idea, apart from the zombie-thing (which in my opinion is a little bit to fantastic xD). Question is: would it be funny if sb plays this mod for hours? The fight-gear is less a arcadic one but more focused on 1v1 fights which have many similarities to real fighting between 2 enemies in the middle ages. Did you see the gameplay of E3?^^ If so, then you most likely noticed that you just one-hit minions without anything special happening. Hence, a horde mode could be more or less boring caused by the fighting system. A fight against a horde of AI-minions would be (even with bosses mixed in) more or less boring and a horde of player-like controlled knights/samurais/vikings would be impossible to beat.
A horde mode paired with the beloved fighting-gear of For Honor is hard to create. DO you see my problem? Any ideas to solve them? Because i really like the idea of a group of heroes slaughtering their way to a horde, just like you

I think a mode where one team uses and controls siege equipment (E.G. battering rams, trebuchet, siege towers etc) and the other team uses defending methods (E.G. Boiling oil, draw bridges, defending catapults etc) would be really fun and immerse the player in the intense combat. Counters to equipment such as sabotaging catapults or grappling hooks for the draw bridge would also make game play intense and real! Please take my idea into consideration!
