Forums - Sony - What the heck is God of War: Ascension's multiplayer?!?!?

Cj2i3 on 13 April 2013

I love going around setting traps, then baiting an enemy to follow me into his/her impending doom! Games really fun and I hope SSM builds upon the multiplayer I think it has potential.

God of War MP is definitely underrated. With some DLC I can see this becoming something worth recommending to people. Don't know how long the community will stick around though.

I'm assuming you are basing that off single player GOW and not Ascension? I thought it was like that at first too but after a bit you realize the combat is so much more! It's all about perfect timing, combos, and clever attacks.

Plus I have a dorky strategy of not killing a single person and still being the best player on both teams in 4v4 Flavor of the gods.


Objectives?

Well technically it includes killing since I use traps too but yes. I run around like mad setting traps, smashing chests, capturing alters, and of course the big things like smashing the statues or waking the snake thing. Most people don't realise that just two chests equals the same points as a kill so most people don't focus on them. That lets me get upwards of 10 chests a life plus a few alters and lucky trap kills. Equivalent of killing 8 people with one life. In addition I get like four of the special white chests a game so I unlock armor really fast.

man I love traps in the game. it's just so satisfying to get kills with them...can backfire tho, especially those fire traps but I'm glad they took out damage for most traps if you are the one who set em up

I am a HUGE fan of objective based MP modes (Uncharted 3 ftw) so I play 4vs4 a lot :D What god and weapon class you using?

I'm maxing out Ares and swords right now. HBU?

I believe I maxed out Poseidon (rank 30 right? I know they said they are increasing that with the next patch) 

Played a bit as Hades...I think around lvl 7..didn't like him too much

Played as Ares the last and iirc I'm around rank 8 

Weapon of choice is swords..mainly use the Athena's Blade

Not a ton. The first few games I was like, "hey, this ain't bad!" A few games later I was like... "Well... I don't think I really need to play this anymore."

I gave it a shot. It didn't hook me like Powerstone 2.

I had thought if Sony went with this approach for All Stars, instead of trying to do a Smash Bros. "inspired" title, it would mean so much more actually.

Which is a cool contrast to what happened with All Stars.  Looks like the MP of God of War: Ascension followed my idea that Powerstone would be a good model to do something new.  Maybe God of War brawler gets spun off as its own title for the PS4 and Vita.
