Explanation of Custom Games
Custom Games will be rolled out in 2 patches. This one (1.07) and a future patch. We don't know when this will be yet.
PHASE ONE
Phase One of Custom Games gives players the option to create unranked games with the choice of:
Game Mode
Map
Missions (Warzone only)
Mission Time (Warzone only)
Invite Squad members
Invite Enemy Squad Leader
This gives players the ability to create private matches, and playing with and against friends or a rival clan for instance. People who dont get an invite to these games wont be able to join through matchmaking.
PHASE TWO
We still need to spec this out, so this is subject to change, but we are looking to add the options of choosing:
More configuration options for missions in Warzone and Operations
Adjustable kill count for Guerrilla Warfare
Configurable Unlocks (choose which one you want to play with)
Configurable Classes (choose which one you want to play with)
Configurable Weapons, Abilities, Skills, Ribbons
Friendly Fire On/Off
Brutal Melee On/Off
That's it for now!
Thanks,
Lev
