Armored Warfare's Global Operations Mode Is Live On The Public Test Server

Those that are interested in trying out Armored Warfare's upcoming 15v15 PvPvE mode, Global Operations, can now do so on the Public Test Server. Global Operations is an effort to introduce "large scale, dynamic battles" in which players can respawn and primary objectives can change. Secondary objectives, known as "wild cards," can "change the shape and direction of the battle in exciting ways."

Successful capture of wild card objectives grants players one of four wild cards. They are as follows.

• Pillboxes: static AI-controlled object firing Anti-Tank guided missiles at enemy forces
• Surveillance drone: an unmanned aerial asset that can fly above a zone and spot the enemy teams movements with ease.
• Air Raid:  A powerful B2 bombing run attack that flies in from off the map to wreak havoc amongst enemy lines!
• Supply Zone: to allow resupply of ammo without needing to respawn.

Obsidian Entertainment intends to add more wild cards in future updates.

For the time being, the only Global Operations map available is "Desert Crossing." The scenario for this map is that of "two mercenary forces and their local allies are clashing over a massive dry dock with an aircraft carrier."
