Plot
The story takes place in the 2030s, in a world where economic and political chaos has given rise to private military companies, where conflict is business.
Gameplay
Armored Warfare is set in a modern virtual world where the player takes on the role of a mercenary employed by a private military company. The game offers players the opportunity to participate in battles across co-op player versus environment campaigns and team-based player versus player matches in a variety of armored vehicles, main battle tanks, and long-range artillery. Players can customize their vehicles with upgrades and retrofits that affect the way the vehicles perform in-game.
Player versus player
In player versus player (PvP) gameplay, the players take control of an armored vehicle and participate in 15 vs. 15 team battles across 13 different maps. In order to secure the win, a team must either eliminate all the opponents in the enemy team or successfully capture the opponent's base (sandard PvP mode) or the neutral base (encounter PvP mode). The duration of the battle for both 'Standard' and 'Encounter' modes is up to 15 minutes, nevertheless, it can be shorter if any of the aforementioned team goals are achieved earlier.
Player versus environment
Player versus environment (PvE) missions are designed for a group of five players to fight against artificial intelligence (AI) controlled bots. Players can queue for missions individually or grouped with up to four other players in a platoon. Missions can be selected from several difficulty levels up to insane, where success depends on the vehicles the players bring, coordination between the team members and skill in the PvE arena.
Customization
Armored Warfare offers players a wide array of vehicle and base customization options. It is possible to unlock additional vehicles and equipment as players progress through the game as well as visually customize their vehicles with camouflage patterns and paints, as well as emblems on the side of vehicles.
Awards
The game received the "Best Multiplayer" award from TenTonHammer's Best of E3 Awards 2014.
