I don't think we will ever get to play with our console brothers (or PC if you are console) due to the platform differences.

However you do raise a point about the use of the word crossover.

I would have to presume it relates to the TV show somehow but I have no idea in what way.

It might be a red herring tho if the current amount of game/show interaction is any indication.

I hope that it is PvE.

Sieges = Raids am betting. Nothing else it could be really as thats the only form of MMO content missing from this game

I see.

I agree. I don't think getting a flag and running 20 miles to your base would work all that well.

I'm thinking something similar to Arkfall Events, except as others have said, a crap load of players storming an enemy base/HQ, but probably not nearly as frequent as Arkfalls. I'd be down for something like that.

I hope it isn't something that takes forever to queue as well. Shadow war is a nice concept but the execution leaves much to be desired (why in the world did they go with multiple queues?)

I honestly am not sure. Could be something like a major arkfall, but rather than having a bunch of minor arkfalls and then a boss battle, progress in some other way. I'm usually good at speculation, but I don't really have a clue, since we've already got open world PvP, and more open world PvE could be too similar to arkfalls.

You know, it is possible it has something to do with the Volge... like a Volge attack on an area.

Hi,

Difficult to judge what he meant really, but it all sounds good :-)

Yes. In my mind, the most logical game mode is the one I suggested in the opening post: defending some point from an invasion force.

Do remember that we will get new areas of the world map opened up and I suspect we will hold down a fort town or something in those maps.

Would be a neat change of pace if the players had to defend something. Keep some attacking enemy from destroying it for a set amount of time. The main storyline has a few missions where you have to hold off wave upon wave of enemies that are trying to destroy something. Be a good change from constantly doing arkfalls.

Don't ask me how it would work. I'm just the idea guy.
