    Warzone...(Game mode idea)

    Hi there! I’m not sure if this is allowed here but if not, feel free to remove it or move it to the right section!

    Anyway, I love For Honor. It’s one of my favourite games. I’ve always loved sword battles and I love the strategy needed, although it can be frustrating at times lol. And I loved the campaign mode... However, with multiplayer, I feel something is missing.

    I mentioned this to a friend of mine, but...we have Duel(1v1), Brawl(2v2), Elimination(4v4), and even Skirmish and Dominion(4v4 with AI soldiers). We even have a capture-the-flag kind of mode now. However, in a game like For Honor, I feel like something is missing.

    Some video games have a game mode(specifically Battlefield One) where one team pushes ahead and another defends on a large battleground. And the more the attackers push ahead, the more ground gets covered and the battleground kind of expands.

    Why doesn’t For Honor have this? We already classify teams as Attackers and Defenders. So why not a game mode where the attackers try to push forward, taking control of zones as they move forward, up to 3 zones. After the 3rd, they need to kill the defenders Heroes, as usual, like in Skirmish and Dominion.

    The defenders win, however, after a 10 or 15 minute time limit reaches 0. Once it hits 0, they gotta kill the attackers heroes. And, of course, to make it more hectic and war-like, fill the battleground with AI troops(instead of just one spot like in Dominion), and similar to Skirmish, add in more tougher troops that take longer to kill, maybe even come up with some new types of soldiers - as well as archers - so it feels like the players aren’t the only ones doing all the work.

    I, personally, think that’d be an awesome idea, and would open up possibilities for new types of bigger levels. Maybe even use some from the campaign.

    Anyway, what do you all think? I think it would be awesome and a lot of people would love it! But I’d like to hear your feedback!

    I AM COMPLETELY BEHIND THIS YOU GOT MY VOTE!

    But as much as i love the idea of this the true problem is the player base is too small tto incorporate new modes, unless they take away others, id say take away tribute and incorporate into your warzone, i say make the matches longer so that others have a chnace to join a game already in progress, like battlefield games,and mix tribute warzone and dominion, make maps bigger and make the player amount in a match be up to 20 atleast , it will be a gorefest of buggs but sometimes you gotta take the risk

    FOR HONOR!

    This is why I think they need to step up the PvAi game. We NEED more modes, but if they CANT implement them due to player base, then we need to make it where we don't need players to play. Meaning, let us get equal rewards for playing with matchmaking off, and also allow us to pick the level of the bots while matchmaking is off. I am completely fine not seeing another player if the game is fun enough. I agree with this mode 100% and would like to see it implemented, but until dedicated servers, I dont expect much to happen as new game modes go. We were lucky enough just to get Tribute. To summarize, we need bigger and better modes, but if the player base cant support them, then make it to where we don't need the player base.

    Yes, I definitely do agree with both your statements. To be honest, I mostly play with AI anyway, due to the fact that sometimes the matchmaking takes forever, or mid battle people will quit, causing the battle to lag and replace the quitter with an AI anyway. If it’s having a hard time finding enough players, I say after a minute or so wait time, they should throw in whatever players are found, and the remaining slots be AI, and like you said, be able to change up the level of the AI.

    But this is a game mode I’d really love to see and after playing through story mode yet again(on hard mode, going for Realistic next), this is definitely not impossible. Use some of the same levels from story(like when the Vikings first arrive on the beach in Samurai territory), and make a whole Warzone game mode out of it. Maybe even add little objects in each area that the attackers have to complete in order to move forward(burn down the houses, open the gate, etc).

    I made a gamemode called "Warzone" as well! I like your thinking!

    (if you want to know what my Warzone was ----> )

    It was going to be a 3v3v3 gamemode in one huge circle-map. with 4-8 capture points. The map would look like the map shown in the video. There would be a team of all knights, vikings, and samurai. One team will win. I have the specifics somewhere but I can't find it.

    Anyway I like your idea too! The front lines feel and all!

    I like the sound of that as well. Kinda like a 3-way Dominion match, which I feel would also be amazing. Both modes would be cool to see. Of course they couldn’t have the same name lmao. The only issues I can see though with yours is, the highest amount of players currently is 8. And for a 3-way team mode, they’d need to come up with a 3rd colour aside from blue and orange, as well as team name(what else can there be besides attackers and defenders?) Unless instead of using Attackers and Defenders, they just come up with multiple colours or different team names that is either randomized, or players can select from certain ones. I’d love to see something like that, though, too, if Ubisoft could find a right way to do it.

    I just thought that they would give the Iron legion colors, Warborn clan colors, and The Chosen colors. However maybe they can just give whatever hero you play as have some sort of skin your faction has. However that would be preposterously hard to pull off.
