4Gamer has an update on how the ground combat will be handled in Gundam Battle Operation’s. Specifically, the troops will be effectively invisible on a mobile suits radar until they start to attack. Naturally, if a mobile suit walks over a human sized player then that will kill them instantly. Again the usage of ground troops as makeshift repair teams has also been highlighted, as both bases and mobile suits will be repairable in the field. The more interesting tactical element though is that ground troops can place as well as defuse bombs at bases. So it seems that the human sized players will be a bit more useful and effective compared to the likes of Operation Troy.
As much as I like freemium… this is just a shame. I hope the gameplay is abysmal just so that I won’t feel bad about only being able to play about 30 minutes a day.
I agree Heat, it is a shame what was depicted as free to play, is basically a ploy to make a Home Arcade game with a scheme to get you to insert more yen to play it. Im guessing they will hit a few snags before they get it running right , as most ill-conceived schemes happen to bite off more than they can offer.
Who knows ? if it flops due to bugs they might make it a true FREE to Play model one not restricted by hours .
heres a video uploaded on Youtube showing more gameplay
