Capital Conquest



Capital Conquest is the first confirmed multiplayer mode of the upcoming Ace Combat: Assault Horizon. Similar to Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation's Siege Battle, this mode consists of two teams players, fighting in tandem with AI-controlled friendlies over the control of a capital city.

Overview
In Capital Conquest, two teams of eight players engage in combat over important cities across the globe, such as Paris and Washington, DC. Team 1's objective is to defend the city and sanitize the airspace of enemy aircraft, while Team 2's objective is to penetrate the local defenses and destroy vital infrastructure across the city. In order to accomplish their objectives, players will be able to deploy alongside an squadron of up to 3 AI aircraft, whose aircraft, and presumably aircraft loadout, can be selected at will. As well, players will be able to choose from a wide assortment of aircraft, ranging from fighters, attackers, bombers and helicopters. Multiple weapons can be chosen for different objectives, such as Bomblet Dispenser Missiles for ground attack duties. Cooperation between players is essential for victory in Capital Conquest.
