Why are they locked? How do you unlock them?

 

No crosshairs, hound, galvatron or movie dinobots? That's quite disappointing. Ow well we can always hope for DLC or a day one update.....

 

Grey Fox Can you please tell us how many chapters there are in the Campaign?

 

Unfortunately, my time with the game is over for now. But I did check the extras menu. From memory, there are audio logs to unlock. There are also achievements in there as well. Not the Playstation trophys or the Xbox achievements, but other game specific stuff (which may in turn unlock trophys and the likes).

Did not see anything relating to altering the look of the characters or the weapons. Could be wrong, though.

I imagine they unlock either when you progress through the campaign or when you level up playing escalation.

It's grayfox, not grey fox  

I won't get to play the campaign until next week after the game's release, unfortunately so I couldn't tell you.

oops my bad

Anyway, anything else you can remember from Escalation? Was it unlimited waves?

 

15 waves.
No weapon pick ups, just ammo and "money"
Same enemies as in FoC (at least on the FoC map I played)
Tracks number of headshots for each weapon and similar stats (think the Call of Duty games)
Stuff you pay for (gun turret, for example) will degrade over time. You can pay to repair or upgrade.
Still 30 seconds between waves (as in FoC)
HUD is different, but it's essentially the same info as before.
New voice clips during matches (at least for FoC Prime).

That's pretty much all I can recall right now.

 

Thankyou for the info, how would you say the game played overall - did it feel the same as WFC/FOC? Also, do characters have two special abilities like WFC, or one ability and a dash, like FOC?

 

Nice menus? For lack of a better question. :L

 

Local Multiplayer at all?

Really hoping there's something in this game to make it worthwhile. Can't believe that the "massive crossover event" is 5 characters. That sucks.

 

I thought they showed Earth Grimlock in a Trailer?

 

Tell me about it.

Even the crappy AOE phone game has Hound and Crosshairs in it, ROTDS does not.

 

Escalation plays a heck of a lot like FoC with hints of WfC throughout. Characters get one ability and a dash (FoC Prime retains the Shield ability from FoC). I'll be able to customize these abilities, though it seems.

Menus look a lot like FoC. It's not a rip off, but very similar.

Good question about the local multiplayer. I haven't looked into it unfortunately.

Also, there are obviously more movie characters showing up in the campaign (from the trailers we've seen). The list I put up for the 43 characters is for Escalation only.

Campaign only it would seem.

 

Do you think the others will be added to escalation or other multiplayer modes once you play as them in campaign mode?

 

If you mean the ones that are locked, then yeah. they're right there waiting to be unlocked. Probably through campaign progress or leveling up.

If you mean additional characters not shown anywhere in the character selection screen, then I have no idea.
