I find Escort very fun, even though I never score high. The only Team mode I enjoy, in general. As a loner, I always play with randoms, and usually stick around for more than one match. However, AA, I would not recommend even to an enemy. I see lots of people love running no matter what, a turtle like me senses no logic in going into a mode such as AA. Oddly enough, that's the only mode available in the Map DLC. Sad.
I didn't mind AA in beta but I grew bored with it soon after. It is true that when I want to play the DLC maps I have to play AA but that is because everyone always picks it for voting so I just leave.
I've only played Escort once since the game was released, and Artifact Assault is hard to capture anything without getting shot or chased down. :/
~PC gamers need love too! :'C
In AA I struggle, I capture it but I'm quickly taken down.
If I blend in a group - does the "kill" over my head vanish? I noticed this happened in STA when I played it once.
Yes. In both AA and StA, when you are hiding (or even just in low profile) you will not have the giant "kill" symbol over your head. Makes using disguise in AA so much more satisfying.Originally Posted by cjdavies
If you are hidden and not running the symbol will vanish. Usually when I capture I go with morph and disguise. get into a blended group before your in sight then hit disguise and keep walking.
Both games have alot of challenges to overcome but are fungrouped or solo. In AA the challenge becomes threading thru all the gunsmoke or if your defending the flag how to deal with all the smoke puff transports. The easiest way to deal with the first is to run constantly, get shot, go in again, get shot, all four times and then steal the flag for real, if the snipes have no ammo then they usualy breakdown and blow the chase. In defending against smoke puffs, you gotta get high and have alot of knifes. Gaurding against chase breaker teleportors you actually need teleport yourself to chase them down. All in all every mode needs a strategy, and a backup to succeed. What works once might fail twice
What was the differences between escort in ACB than in ACR? I didn't get the DLC 3.0, I've seen youtube vids but it looks the same :S
But what you said about ACR escort is entirely true, when I'm protecting the VIPs I have to guess where they spawn in order to get there before the hunters do.
If you have a really good team in AA and you're vsing a really good team, the gameplay is incredibly addictive, even with abilities that can ruin it (tele and gun) but if your team co-ordinates well you can still counter these abilities...make sure somebody is at the line, while another person is chasing the capturer and with the gun, try and get teammates to follow or stun the other team. Of course it doesn't work in all situations but when it does it is awesome!
I love using morph whilst attacking in AA, coz then they don't know who to shoot down!
Escort is a challenge for me. I haven't quite got that one yet.
Whoa, there, kind sir. You know how hard it is to make your way without getting killed to even get the artifact? Much less getting to that chase breaker? Even teleporting halfway across the map will do you little good against a good team. You make it sound like OSBing... any idiot can do it. Not so. It's challenging.
AA is VERY intense and demanding in clan v clan stuff.
That is,until a single team starts to camp around the artifact and intentionally piss the other teams off....
