For Honor isn't set to launch until mid-February next year but that doesn't mean you won't get the chance to try it out ahead of time. In fact this weekend Ubisoft will be holding a closed Alpha phase for the game, including three PvP game modes and three of the in-game factions to try.
Right now, you can register for the closed alpha test, though you'll need to do it soon as it kicks off tomorrow evening. From there, the multiplayer alpha will go on until the 18th of September.
If you are successful in securing an invite, you will get to play three modes: Duel (1V1), Brawl (2V2) and Dominion which is a 4V4 mode. As far as classes, you will get to play as The Orochi (Samurai), The Berserker (Viking) and The Conqueror (Knight), all which distinct weapons and play styles.
When the game officially launches in February 2017, there will be two more PvP modes and three more classes included, which we will likely see as we get closer to the time.
KitGuru Says: For Honor has been a highlight for Ubisoft as the last couple of E3 conferences and so far, those who have played it have had good things to say. Have any of you guys had the chance to try For Honor at all?
Tried it. It seems alright. the MOBA-esque style gameplay works really well but there was one huge issue.
The combat system is so heavily focused on 1v1 duels and in that respect it works really well, but there’s little preventing a 2v1 or more battle in which case you get absolutely molested within seconds. So unless they’ve amended the combat system a bit to make countering ganks more possible or something the game will probably just end up giving me more than a few grey hairs
This was my biggest complaint. The only strategy is to walk around in pairs and its gg.
Needs to at least give you a small chance of winning or a better fleeing mechanism against 2 people.
And seeing that it is Ubisoft making it, you can guarantee there will be no anticheat system and the netcode will be appalling.
