War for Cybertron- What is Escalation mode?

Postby sabrigami » Tue May 18, 2010 12:28 pm

Weapon: Semi-Automatic Rifle
I was on the WFC site the other day looking at the pre-order bonus characters. Did anyone else notice that these characters are only playable in the multi player escalation mode? I haven't heard anything about this mode before, has anyone else? :???:

It sounds like an all-out battle - you log in, fight until you want, and can log out and join whenever you want

I thought it was similar to Gears of War's Horde Mode?

all I've heard is that there is an Escalation mode, and had assumed it was a Horde mode clone. I love Chaoslock's idea of it being an all out war though. Like you could join the battle with whatever featured characters weren't being played at the time.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

I have no idea what horde mode is, but his idea does sound like fun. I kinda thought it would be the mode they dump all the chars that didn't really make it into story mode. I hope they have dlc with new chars and stuff :)

Given the name "Escalation," it'll probably be a survival game mode similar to Horde in GoW or Firefight in Halo 3: ODST
