Battalion Wars 2 will be online!

Battalion Wars 2 will feature three multiplayer and online modes on WiFi In “Assault” one player simply defends a base while the other attempts to take/destroy the base in a time limit, “Skirmish” or no time limit is more for tactical depth with both players fighting each other using the most of the new features like bases to give a more thought through attack, and “Co-op” in which you work with friends against a common enemy. Among the available multiplayer matches is Capture the Flag, for up to four players. The lack of multiplayer was the most commonly cited shortcoming of the first game.

The gameplay will combine land, sea, and air combat; and will feature five new naval units: Battleship, Frigate, Submarine, Dreadnought and Transport. There will be six playable nations, with all the original sides (Western Frontier, Tundran Empire, Xylvania, Solar Empire, and the Iron Legion) are confirmed to be returning from the first game. The game will also feature the ability to capture facilities (such as the HQ, Barracks, Factories, Airfield, and Docks) that can be used to generate more units. Wii will also feature a map for commanding units from far away called Map Screen Commanding, thus fixing another cited downside of the previous game, the inability to micro-manage units.
