Yeah it could just be an online MP only thing like Battlefront.
Developer just stated on youtube in addition to 4 x 4 there is also an offline story/campaign.
Sounds like this one is YEARS away from release
all 3rd person view
That was still awesome. Probably cgi as those graphics looked fantastic.

That is pretty neat looking, talk about not being able to put the controller down. Looks like non stop action!
This place says 2016 but I'm sure that isn't definite.

Yeah guy didn't say (from what I have seen) but I'm guessing late 2016 at the earliest the guy even said on youtube "years" when referring to when the game is finished.

Cool. I forgot all about this game.
I can invite two more friends through UPlay. Tried the psn search but it didn't work. Try logging in and adding me (rudyjuly2) if you want as I can invite you to the alpha which ends Sunday night at 8.
Apparently my son played a bit last night. I would have liked to have seen it. He said it was fun but he was really frustrated with the blocking saying it didn't work well.

The intro is cool. I did the practice mode and that wasn't too bad. Then I tried one dominion 4 x 4 game vs the ai and I was awful. Man do I suck. Blocking is not easy. You can guard break and throw. I couldn't Dodge well. As you get hurt you get slow. I am terrible! I killed one boss and died five times in the match. Even though it was 4v4 there are objectives and low level soldiers still. All my human teammates were way better than me.
I did the 2 v 2 vs ai and that is just 4 people total with no bots or basic soldiers. If you die your opponent can run over and double team your partner. You can be revived as well but I'm not sure how to do that. Pretty fun. I'm not sure how much long term fun this would be but there appears to be a lot of levelling up and some special moves you can earn. During the 4 v 4 I had a revenge move. I'm still confused but it's interesting.
Blocking works well imo but you can't attack when blocking. I struggle when knowing when to block or use my quick or heavy attack. Guard break is good but I think you need practice knowing when to do what. Will definitely play more later.
I can invite one more person. If anyone wants in just let me know and I will invite you through the ubisoft site.

I think the two on two is my favourite. Did against ai and humans. Lots of fun. Me and a guy lost in 5 our first game then we're down 0-2 but had a great comeback. Execution moves are a nice finisher.
One guy had some super move after three strikes. Not sure how he gets that but you couldn't block it.

I've only got as far as getting through the tutorial. It seems that blocking is going to be tough, as Rudy says.
The alpha was glitchy this morning. Bad connections. The 4v4 is fun but mayhem too. I hate facing multiple enemies. I get destroyed.
There is a lot more depth to the moves and each character. I would recommend also watching the basic move videos to understand. Each character is a bit different with combos and things. Here is a guide as well. I have to remember to vary my rstick attack direction.

I wish there was a mute button for others with mics. All in all though I am pretty happy. This alpha has made me lean towards buying for sure. The battlefield in 4v4 has an epic feel.
The alpha was considered a success. People spent an average of 4.5 hours playing it. Lots of executions. Demand for beta is up.

I didn't get enough time with it, unfortunately. I have to say that the single player campaign is going to have to be very intriguing for me to consider the game. If it's just a button-mashing fighter, I'm not real interested.
Thanks for inviting me, Rudy! I look forward to hearing more about the single player story.
Yeah, I hope they have an offline story mode. I'd love it if they had couch coop. That would make this a must buy for me. I'm strongly leaning to buying anyways.
I'm signed up for the beta so I can invite you guys again too. Have no idea when that is though.

:( Damn, I would have taken a code if Smooth hadn't. I'm pretty damn excited for this game. It looks super fun from what I've watched of it.
I didn't even realize how the scoring went in the Dominion.
the endgame triggers once one team has accumulated enough points. For Honor then announces that one army has started to break, and players on the team that’s breaking – the team with the lower score – will no longer respawn after they’re killed. The match ends when the last human player falls, while the defending team can win if the players rally and survive for a set amount of time.
The endgame is heavily weighted in favor of the team that’s on the attack, but it doesn’t affect the balance because both teams start the match on even footing and have plenty of time to establish an advantage. The endgame is therefore a more flavorful way to resolve a match that has already reached its conclusion (in most cases it won’t take the attacking team long to wrap things up). The match concludes when everyone on the defending team is dead. Speaking from experience – we were able to rout our opponents during our demo – that’s a lot more satisfying than watching an arbitrary timer count down to zero.

January 26th! I am on the list and hope to get a code.
I got my beta invite this afternoon. I gave a code to my brother and have two left. Let me know if you didn't get a code and want one. You have to send invites through the Ubisoft website/UPlay or whatever. I'm rudyjuly2 on there so I have to add you to my friends list. I've got cdj, JB, gigemags, Jaymo and I think the guestoneX9 is Steelerfan. I think Smooth got an invite directly from Ubisoft.

Thanks, Rudy. Downloading now.
The PS4 beta has had issues. I just tried and couldn't connect with a 4v4. When I did get enough guys the game didn't start. Hopefully this gets better soon. The alpha was very good. This is off to a rough start.
The beta is pretty glitchy. I've dropped out numerous times and struggled to match make at times. The beta is very similar to the alpha in play modes other than the faction stuff. Some of the fighters are fairly diverse and cool. I'm not sure any are over powered but experts can clean a novices clock. I've got my butt bead bad. Still really don't know the feats loadout stuff and when I can use them.
The 4v4 is fun and very hectic but also frustrating as I often find myself double teamed and killed. Knowing the maps and hiding and cheap shotting is crucial apparently. I don't like the elevated areas to control as they almost always result in mismatches and no fun battles imo. Climbing a ladder to find two people waiting for me and easily killing me isn't very fun. Taking a break to play 2v2 was fun though. Had an epic match and they really help you focus and enjoy the 1v1 matchup.
I know some have complained the moves are slow or sluggish but I love it like this. Adds a lot more strategy. Any faster and it's an offensive button mash fest. Defence is crucial in this game. Switching targets in the 4v4 is tough in the mayhem though. I think they could do those skirmishes a bit better.
I don't know how the servers are worse in the beta than months ago in the alpha but they are. Drops and poor connections happen way too often for a game two weeks from launch.

Really? Does that mean it will remain this way at release? Hopefully it doesn't become an issue.
I'm curious to see what other modes the full game will have and the story campaign.
The beta had the three main modes plus there are supposed to be two other 4v4 modes in addition to a story mode that can be played coop. I liked the revenge option when double teamed as I don't remember that in the alpha. I still think Ubisoft needs to put out a comprehensive guide for each warrior. Some site have decent info but each character has a deeper set of strategies. I didn't realize the Conqueror had an AOE attacking if I hit both light and heavy at the same time.

This is a good article about the lack of honour in this game lol. It is true - there are too many 2 on 1s in the 4v4 Dominion model. We'll see if the scoring system forces people to spread out. I do know that in that mode it's best to try to stick near a teammate. Running around by yourself, which will happen often after a death, gets you into a lot of trouble.

More impressions and thoughts on some fighters being OP. The one class Nobushi is a bit OP (female, super quick).

For Canadians you can trade two games straight up for this one. I took advantage as this is a great deal. They have a list of eligible games which need to have at least a $12 trade in value.
This weekend's open beta is now live.
I really like the 4v4 death match but the servers are still garbage. Match making isn't great and drops or connection issues during fights is a problem. I fear the retail game is going to have the same issues.
I'm going to focus on learning the Viking Warlord better. The game is fairly deep with moves. And as you level up you unlock cool feats on the dpad. My son just through a javelin at someone who tried to run away.
If you are a Target Cartwheel member, you can get the standard or Gold Edition of For Honor for 15% off this week.
I didn't get a chance to play last night since it was Valentine's Day and the wife would not have been so happy lol. But I did play this morning and I found there were still some connection issues. Not sure if it will be as bad as the betas but it's not surprising.
It was nice to see 3 extra Heroes to use. I want to use the new Knight more.
They added some "Skirmish" maps to the retail game for the 4v4 DeathMatch and I wasn't really crazy about that. To me those Skirmish battles are a hybrid of DeathMatch and Dominion (a few minions, no zone bonuses but respawns and more double teaming). It isn't bad but I prefer the Elimination ones better. I hope they split out those two modes as I don't like how I don't have a choice in what mode I'm playing other than voting on the map.
Haven't checked out the story mode yet.

I got absolutely destroyed this morning in a couple death matches. There were two great fighters. One used the fat samurai and was so deadly if you were too close. He kept picking me up and breaking me. So powerful. I need to time my break block better or dodge more. Another guy was a level 16 basic samurai and he never died in two matches. I think he was 14-0 against my team and killed me quite often too. The experienced fighters are so good in this game. I will never compete with them.
I did go 6-1 in one match last night which was my best. But normally I'm pretty average and this morning terrible. I did play some Dominion which is fun but I prefer Death Match.
Patch on the way. Valkyrie gets a needed buff but it sounds like the Peacekeeper will be harder too. I don't agree with that. That character is really tough to beat when controlled by someone who knows how to fight. I like the guard break returning to the beta style. Not sure what else is in there.

THis is a cool site to track your matches, kills, deaths, win percentage and hours played. My win percent is under 50 on Deathmatch but better than that on the other stuff. Pretty neat.

Patch is out. 3.4 GB on PS4.
I play this game everyday. I still love it and think it's very strategic and balanced for the most part. I'm curious about any new modes they add but Elimination and Dominion are still my favourites. The connection issues are still a big problem. Constant sync issues are annoying and a real shame for such a great game.
And then you face some douchebags that run at the start of the fight in Elimination or only want to fight near ledges and try to throw you off. I HATE environmental deaths. Some maps are brutal that way and most people don't like them. I hope they add more open maps without peril. Dominion is better this way though.
If I could change a few things, besides dedicated servers, I would increase the stamina cost for doing guard break. Some people like the Conqueror can spam that too easily. It should cost more imo.
Second, there should be no boosts for the first 30 seconds of Elimination Death Matches. I HATE when you square off and your opponent goes running to collect boosts rather than fighting. I'd prefer at least a short time period where that isn't advantageous.
I'm still not a fan of Environmental deaths. Some characters can push and direct other players too easily for quick and cheap deaths. It's part of the game but not one I like very much. Some maps are difficult to avoid this stuff while others are fine. I'd like to see a few new maps where environmental deaths are less easy to pull off.
I know Valykrie got a buff but I'm still not scared of her when I face her as my Warlord. I think Peacekeeper, Berserker and Conqueror give me the most fits.
One other thing - the matchmaking isn't very balanced at times. My son was on a brutal team the other day. Unless that's a group of 4 linked together on the right I don't see why the game would do this.

Can't vouch for the math, but a redditor is claiming that it would cost $700+ to buy all of the unlocks or take 2.5+ years to do it otherwise.
According to bystander007, is costs around 91,500 steel (the in-game currency) to unlock each character and all of their customisations in the base game. For all 12, we’re looking at 1,098,000 steel, which equates to approximately 7.32 of the $100 steel packs.
“So Ubisoft has valued their in-game unlocks within the base game at a $732 over-charge of the original $60-100 spent on the game.”
If you’re thinking about not dropping any money on the steel packs because you’re happy to earn them through playing the game, bystander007 has some bad news for you.
“Casual players who play 1-2 hours 5-7 days a week will never reach this goal. Completing Orders/half-Contracts will get you roughly 1000 Steel, another roughly 200 for the matches you played. So 1200 a day is a good estimated gain for casual players. That’s 915 days. Roughly 2.51 years.”
Link (https://www.vg247.com/2017/03/20/for-honor-will-cost-you-over-700-in-microtransactions-for-all-unlocks-or-two-and-a-half-years-to-earn-without-them/)
That's just silly. Nobody cares about buying everything for one person let alone everybody. It's just something for online people to complain about. No need to buy anything either.
For the record you can earn at least 600 steel a day very easily. You get 2000 at the very beginning of the game by doing the tutorial. Plus you earn Steel after every match. I personally unlocked all 12 characters (I think 4 were unlocked originally and the rest cost 500). I've bought horns for my Warlord (1000) and both of the other 2 executions (5000 and 7000 each - ouch!) along with buying quite a few premium packs to upgrade armour and weapons. You can also use money to upgrade your existing stuff. I'm happy with what I have for my one character I use and I have spent $0 actual money. Most people only use 1-3 characters and level them up. MANY things to buy are useless and the vast majority completely unnecessary and don't aid you. I think this is truly a "fake news" story imo.
Perhaps as a response to the critical article about money, For Honor has boosted the money you can earn every day. They are bringing back a map they dropped due to desynch as well.

Big patch coming soon. Lots of balancing tweaks but I really like them removing boosts in Elimination for the first 20 seconds.
https://forhonor.ubisoft.com/game/en-us/news-community/152-288027-16/release-notes-for-v105
For Honor was #1 in February on PSN but #15 in March. Not an unexpected huge drop but I hope gamers stick around. It's still pretty easy to get into a match although no dedicated servers still annoys once in awhile. Guys quitting at the end of the match needs to be penalized.
Hopefully the patch fixes some spamming. The Conqueror is the worst with his shoulder charge and the Valkrie isn't much better. They have to know these issues and while there may be counters to some of them I would love it if they posted videos in their tutorial section or online to help combat them. Some guys online seem to think some counters are easy but I'm truthfully an average gamer. My K/D is only above 1 now since my guy is levelled up and I get an advantage in 4v4. In 1v1 and 2v2 you don't get gear advantages and they should probably add a fair play day once in awhile for newbies.
On another note, I picked up a second disc copy rather than the digital one since all three of us play the game at my house and we all want our own Userid to count and play with different combos. My son isn't a good athlete but he is a master at video games. We did some duels against each other and he basically kicked my ass. I'm a higher level but as soon as we turned off gear stats (you have that option in custom duels) I didn't win a single round or fight. He can counter guard break successfully 95% of the time. And if I can't skip a guard break in to stun you and hit you with my heavy high Warlord attack I am going to struggle. He blocks most of my moves and then beats me up lol.
Patch goes live tomorrow at 8 AM EST. Also, the two new heroes should be coming soon for season 2 along with possibly ranked matches and other new things.

It's a good thing I have max gear from my Warlord because I'm very average at this game. I still enjoy it but when I try playing with a different character I struggle learning new moves and I'm a target in certain modes without gear. I'm still not good enough at counter guard break.
I got my first hate message on PSN with someone calling me f'ing trash. I don't even know exactly why (I may not be good but hardly worthy of hate mail!). My team lost and I was 7-6 during the contest. I'm not great but I don't spam or push people off ledges. The only thing I will spam is my zone attack in revenge mode but that's understandable when it's 2 or 3 on 1. Everyone goes nuts when you can trigger revenge. It was a skirmish match!
I know I'm the only one that plays this game on here but I still think this is the GOTY. Season 2 starts today and my son bought the season pass since he loves it (and is much better than me) and wants the new characters unlocked. He has played with pretty much every character and I think most of them are probably rep 1 at least. I have nobody at rep 1+ other than my Warlord who is rep 11. I am interested in buying the new Centurion. I don't have the season pass but I do have 15,000 steel to buy a character if I want. New maps out today too. Update is just over 10 GB on PS4.
The new characters are pretty cool. The Centurian has a powerful knock down move and his style reminds me of the Warlord. The Shinobi reminds me of a cross between a Peace Keeper, Shinobi and Berserker. The Mortal Kombat pull them in move is cool. They have some quick combos but they don't have much health. Both characters have cool executions.
Why on earth didn't they make the maps in Dominion geared more to the new maps. I played for 1.5 hours and got the Forge once. Haven't seen the other map. The Forge is nice. Reminds me of the Citadel Gate with close zones. I wish I could change the look of my new gear to match the cooler looking older stuff.

I loved this game for months. Haven’t played it in awhile. The Breach mode reminds me of Dominion. I will have to relearn what I’m doing. My biggest beef near the end were how good some of the players were. I don’t mind getting my ass kicked in a good fight but some of these guys were just using specific characters and spamming certain moves or combos that were very hard to deal with. Most things have counters and Ubisoft did a pretty decent job of balancing but some things were a problem and pissed me off.
I played this game for months. Son loved it too. Had two disc copies and we would play together. Over the last few months we have tried once in awhile to connect. Tried again this morning to check out the new mode. Their servers are so shit I can never play online. Matchmaking never works. Contact their support and they say it’s maybe my NAT. BS. I have NAT 2 and no other online game has issues. It’s a shame their servers have always been an issue but switching to their own servers made it worse imo.
