This game was released earlier this year and boy is it hella fun. I got interested in it because I heard it was made by From Software, a company known for making challenging games (DEMON'S SOULS, DARK SOULS), and Armored Core V was no exception. Wikipedia quote:

Armored Core games are Mecha Simulation/third-person shooters, in which the player pilots a large mecha called an Armored Core, or AC for short. Developers claim that Armored Core V will rely more on tactics and using the geography of the level rather than high-speed finger work. This harks back more to the original PS1 games, especially the first, as many levels were set within city type environments and were more tactical as a consequence. A notable difference will be smaller mechs (5 meter tall, as opposed to the 10 meter mech from the previous releases), which will allow more varied, "three dimensional" stages. Reports from the developer suggest a greater emphasis on stealth as a result of the size change, which allows the mech to maneuver between alleyways and buildings for cover.
The online mode will feature five-on-five team-based battles, with each side battling over specific objectives on a persistent world map. Additionally, one member of the team will be designated as a commander (called an "Operator"), whose job it will be to oversee the larger battle and issue orders to the other team members. A special interface is being designed by the developers to facilitate this.
I've made a team named PeacemaKOR which started getting more members the moment I managed to take a territory for myself. It's a fun, fuuuuuuuuuun game.
I don't have a mic, which sets me back really hard because I like to use a recon unit that launches into the air and basically shows enemy signals, which tell you their total hp and defensive stats. I wish this game was more popular, the level of play has the potential to be extremely deep.
The online has special event weekends at times which basically offer special missions that a team of 1-4 people can do. It's nearly impossible without a full team.

Wait wait just a second
Are you telling me
This game has a real time strategy mode where you give orders to actual people?

Picked up Verdict Day today cause I've never played an AC game before. Don't really know why I haven't cause this shit's great. For the most part I've been foolin' around with all the customization and trying different parts. No idea why kind of build I want to run with, though for now I'm using a heavy bipedal. Gotta have big legs to carry all the guns. Might try a light and speedy build after a while and mess around with some of the melee stuff. Also want to make a 4-legged monster at some point. So much I want to do, so little time to do it in.
