Co-op Battle

Co-op Battle is a multiplayer mode in Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation. As the name states, this mode allows players to team up and take on difficult missions filled with enemy targets.

Overview
In Co-op Battle, a team of four players max must play through unique versions of levels taken from the single-player game increased in difficulty. These levels include an increased number of enemy targets, as well as unique named enemies never seen in the original stages. Any aircraft unlocked through either DLC or single-player are available in Co-op Battle, thus allowing a group of coordinated pilots to engage the enemy with a different role (for example, player one lies an attacker to raze ground forces while player 2 flies cover with a fighter.)

Every Co-op Battle game has a time limit, which depends on the map. If time runs out, the mission will end in failure. Should a player die through the mission, 30 seconds will be deducted from the timer, while the fallen player respawns away from the battlezone.

Maps
Four Co-op maps are available.

Map #1
The first map is based on mission #8, San Loma Assault, where the objective is to eliminate all targets within and around the city of San Loma. Players start in the east coast of San Loma, and begin fighting their way up the coastline to the city proper. Through the mission, players will have to assist friendly AH-64 Apache helicopters as they lay siege to the enemy, while simultaneously evading Nimbus missile fire and engaging Strigon aircraft. The mission concludes with a sea engagement against the Kraken, a unique aircraft carrier with upgraded weaponry and increased armor.

Map #2
The second Co-op Battle Map is based on the ninth campaign mission, Heavy Command Cruiser. Assisted through ESM by Snake Pit, players must engage the P-1112 Aigaion and her fleet, while dealing with Nimbus attacks and massive waves of NPC aircraft.
