These are probably n00by questions but I only found out about this game an hour ago so dont know much about it. Anyway these are some of the things i'd like to know the answers to;

1. How many maps will this game have at launch?

2. What game modes will it have?

3. Will there be an offline multiplayer style mode with bots?

4. In regards to the energy limits that dictate how much you can build, is this number a per person thing or per team thing?

5. Can you customise your characters looks, and is there a rank up system with unlocks and things?

Thanks

1. How many maps will this game have at launch?

10

2. What game modes will it have?

- Team Deathmatch

- Capture the Flag

- Zones

- Free for all (?)

- Co-op survival

3. Will there be an offline multiplayer style mode with bots?

- The survival modes are against bots I think, but that might be it

4. In regards to the energy limits that dictate how much you can build, is this number a per person thing or per team thing?

- In the beta there was 32 building limit per team, this hasn't been changed. There's no limit per person

5. Can you customise your characters looks, and is there a rank up system with unlocks and things?

- You unlock costumes and appearances as you level up and you earn skill sets for accomplishing certain tasks (eg. you might have to get x rocket kills to get a special rocket perk and you choose which perk to equip for a game)

Thanks a lot for the reply

10 maps is decent for launch I guess, but I hope they will release more as DLC at some point down the road. I know that with Battlefield 3 the game was 'ok' with the 9 launch maps but once the first DLC came out and bumped it up to 13 it became a much more varied and interesting experience.

Could you tell me what the 'Zones' game mode involves? The rest are pretty self-explanatory Also something else I just thought of, I take it you can equip different 'standard' weapons such as machine guns, rifles, etc?

Theres zones on the map that you fight to control..

The aim being to control all the zones ..

Unlike other games theres not a huge selection of weapons which makes it ideal as its your skill not the power of the weapon like in some games..

We all use carry the same things once we have picked them up.

Although there are 10 maps they are split into 5 large maps and 5 small maps. However they have just announced today that future maps will be FREE via DLC. First map has already been planned (but no release date)

Also apparently DM does not include a Troop DM option....... You have a Dogfight DM and possible a DM involving vehicles but no troop only.

In regards to offline there is a single player and a CO-OP mode against "bots". CO-OP is "upto" 4 players at a time but can only do two players on one console (splitscreen)

Thanks guys sounds good. Yeah with it being a third person game im not too fussed what gun my person is using, although variety is always nice.

@shika1983 So are you saying the game will have vehicle only mode/s?
