Play as a Freelance Mercenary in Armored Core V

Andriasang:

Since Armored Core V's announcement, From Software has stressed the game's team play component. Players form teams and defend their territory from invading teams.

But you don't have to be a team player. You can play as a freelance mercenary if you like, assisting other teams. From refers to this as the "Mercenary System."

What do you mean both teams? The entire map is owned by hundreds of teams :)

I think he meant factions, or nations, or corporations, or whatever it is that divides the war and the land.

I do wish they would show some gameplay footage. This game was supposed to have been released last year when it suddenly went quiet and we were not given much of anything to work with.

I love the Armored Core series but as a fan I question some of the design choices I have in fact heard about. This seeming focus on co-op and online play is one of those concerns.

I think winter 2011 for Japan and early 2012 for NA and Europe.
