Fulqrum Publishing reveal brand new competitive and PvE modes & new maps available on May 11
| Fulqrum Publishing and Best Way today announce additional details of the plethora of multiplayer content available in upcoming Men of War II open beta – including brand new modes, and never-before-seen maps – all of which which will be available via Steam on May 11 through to May 15. Players can expect to experience a generous amount of content in the upcoming beta – though just a slither of that available in the full game – including a new PvP and PvE mode, new maps and single player missions, in addition to all the content previously available in March’s multiplayer tech test. Combined Arms is a brand new, PvP battle mode that supports up to six players (3v3), in which they are not limited in unit selection to specialised Battalions, but can instead customise their regiment from all the units of their selected nation. This mode sees the maximum number of Command Points increase from 30 to 50, allowing players to control more units on the battlefield at the same time. Combined Arms will be playable in the Front Line competitive mode via match-making or in Front Line, Assault Zones, and Combat via the lobby. Also making its debut in the beta is Line Defence, a dynamic new PvE mode in which players have to defend three zones against AI opponents, who are trying to capture them by pushing the Front Line around them. Victory points are awarded for time spent controlling each zone. The open beta will also introduce two new maps, Airfield, and Carpathians, to the mix. Airfield sees players take the fight to the sandy dunes of North Africa, in a battle for control over a strategically important airport. While Carpathians sees players visit calm, forest-covered hillsides and idyllic villages from a bygone era, as war brings ruin and destruction to the lush countryside. |
 ‘Airfield’ Multiplayer Map  ‘The Carpathians’ Multiplayer Map Both maps can be played in both Front Line and Combat mode (Standard or Combined Arms), while Carpathians can also be played in the new PvE Line Defence mode. Furthermore, all the content from the previous multiplayer tech test will be available, including the Front Line, Combat, Assault Zones, and Incursion PvP modes, all of which support up to 5v5 matchups. Front Line is available via matchmaking, while all modes can be accessed via the lobby. The maps Borovaya River, Winter March, Bazerville, The Coast, and Farmland will also be making their return. In addition to multiplayer matches, players can take on three single player missions during the beta – Battle of Coisson, Towards Freedom, and Ambush – all of which can also be played in co-op.
