™
online! TRANSFORMERS
™
: WAR FOR
CYBERTRON
™
contains a variety of competitive Multiplayer modes for both
individuals and teams. Multiplayer modes include:
• Deathmatch – Free-for-all.
• Team Deathmatch – This is a team-based version of the Deathmatch
Multiplayer Mode.
• Power Struggle – Teams must occupy the active node in order to gain points. Points
can only be gained when the node is not contested (node must be free of enemies).
• Conquest – In this game mode, three nodes are located on the map. Teams must
capture these nodes in order to gain points. The team that reaches the score limit
or has the most points when the time limit is reached is declared the winner.
• Code of Power – One team starts as Attackers and the other team starts as
Defenders. The Attackers must attempt to steal the Code of Power from the other
team and take it back to their capture spot. After the Code of Power has been
captured or round time runs out, teams switch roles. The Code of Power is a giant
melee weapon. Players holding the Code of Power will be able to melee and defeat
enemies in a single blow. If you change into a vehicle, the Code of Power will be
dropped.
• Countdown to Extinction – Teams must try and take the bomb, located in the center
of the map, and plant it in the enemies’ base. Once a team plants a bomb in the
enemies’ base, they must prevent the opposing team from disarming the bomb. If
the bomb is successfully detonated, the team that planted it gets a point.
CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION
Through Character Customization, you can make a series of choices that allow you
to create your own character. First, choose from four different classes: Leader,
Scientist, Scout and Soldier.
Next choose a chassis to determine your vehicle/robot form. The available chassis
are limited by faction choice and each vehicle model has a specifi c robot model
associated with it. Though you may not modify the physical model of either the robot
or the vehicle, you can change the color scheme. As you gain more experience points,
you can gain access to different abilities unique to each class. Custom characters
cannot be played in Escalation or Campaign Mode.
