Ace Combat 6: Online Mode Details

While never being that great at it due to my ability to find any tree on the horizon and crash into it with laser precision, after "After Burner," the "Ace Combat" line of fighter sims/games has been one of my fave both graphics and story wise.

Now "Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation" is coming out for XBOX 360 on 11/1/07 in Japan (but you can download an English demo of it off of LIVE) and it also supports a nifty online mode and some special titles to make any accolade collector drool uncontrollably. (Well, drool more uncontrollably.)

Anyhoo, onto the different Online Modes:

Versus: Where a two players, or multiple players play 2 rounds, one on attack and one on defence. Attackers will (durh) attack an objective while the defender defends it. Simple enough.

Coop: Work together with a buddy to try to clear stages available in campaign mode with the highest score and as quickly as possible. According to Game Watch, there will also be a few stages in store for cooperative players where they face of huge enemies. Yay.

Titles: Approximately 100 of these will be made available to players, some of which only the cream of the crop will be able to obtain based on a number of criteria that are unique in the world. TAKE THAT!

Now, to make the Online Mode/Game Mode a bit more exhilarating and personalised, certain downloads will also become available:

1) Special paint schemes for your plane, from realistic, military patterns to sexy, really bright, gaudy shades.

2) Special planes with specialised utility. The example used was a super duperly fast plane with very limited to nil attack capabilities.

3) Special HARD CORE MODE missions for those who like the challenge.

4) Additional, special massive, multiplayer maps for online/coop mode with new objectives.
