Can I play the Beta in Single Player?

[Mack the Knife]

thanks for getting back to me MasacruAlex but you're implying that beta's for games are exclusively done in multiplayer? i'm not sure but i don't think so. i've been on lots of forums for other games and it's beta-ed in single player and you email in your bug reports. you sign up and if you don't provide feedback on a regular basis you're axed. anyway, what you say makes sense and may, in fact, be the reason. sucks though...

One of the gamemodes in multiplayer is called 'skirimish', and you are able to play against the AI, either on your own or in co-op with someone else. There are only two maps (and hence, two scenarios), but I would expect there will be more when the full game comes out.

Hope this cleared things up for you.

Ah you're right, I know what you mean, guess i was wrong

Pretty good game. I'll probably purchase it because of the added skirmish option. The one thing I hated about this game is the fact that they force you to play multiplayer. Not a good way to practice. With everyone telling you off because you're new.

But I do feel like this game is more of the same. The pathfinding issues are still very bad. It's imperative that you improve this.

We call in units and they'll frequently get caught standing around somewhere on the map. Or get stuck. Lodged between two objects. And squad movements are still goofy. The way they backtrack upon moving forward.

Also, if you guys are so concerned about making your game for competative multiplayer, then replays are paramount.

Otherwise. Thanks for the beta. It's a decent game.

if you want more skirmish mode you will have to be a exclusive tester.

here is a screenshot of what a exclusive tester have.

Honestly, I'll have to see after a official demo. It just seems to be another mod.

I agree' for me their is nothing special in Assault Squad but that is just me. but of course i will buy it when is come out but i don't think i will play it in the long run.

but i cannot judge because is just a beta. who knows i may love it when i play the full version of the game. as for the assault squad beta i just don't like it.

as i mentioned, Skirmish is on the main menu but not selectable, grayed out. only Multiplayer is selectable. are you saying select Multiplayer, then select the gamemode 'skirmish'?

That's exactly it. Select multiplayer, make a game room, choose your mode (skirmish in this case) and map, and away you go.

Here's an example:

This is not my video. If you look on YouTube you will find many videos of the Skirmish mode in multiplayer.

Thats the impression I have from the Beta so far as well ... sadly. Either my expecations have been wrong or the game doestn really offer that much. Seems to also have the same penetration and code like previous games. But I havnt spend that much time with that yet (though Tigers geting their turret penetrated by 76mm guns ... not all to fun if you ask me).

Hoped for a few more changes then just visuals. But time will tell. IN the curent state though I am not sure if to buy it really is worth the prize, well depending on how much it will cost in the end of course.
