I​ ​have​ ​recently​ ​dove​ ​into​ ​the​ ​PTR3​ ​Tribute​ ​In​ ​For​ ​Honor​ ​and​ ​here​ ​are​ ​my​ ​thoughts​ ​about it.​ ​The​ ​Tribute​ ​battle​ ​as​ ​a​ ​whole​ ​is,​ ​not​ ​surprisingly,​ ​flat​ ​out​ ​amazing.​ ​Now​ ​I’m​ ​not​ ​fanboying​ ​this. I​ ​went​ ​in​ ​with​ ​my​ ​Designers​ ​mind​ ​set,​ ​top​ ​down​ ​bottom​ ​up​ ​approach,​ ​and​ ​I​ ​just​ ​couldn’t​ ​find anything​ ​I​ ​didn’t​ ​like.​ ​The​ ​amount​ ​of​ ​work​ ​done​ ​with​ ​the​ ​battle​ ​itself​ ​is​ ​quite​ ​amazing.

Mechanics,​ ​and​ ​objective​ ​are​ ​solid​ ​and​ ​fluid.​ ​All​ ​the​ ​characters​ ​I​ ​tried​ ​in​ ​battle​ ​were​ ​well balanced​ ​and​ ​worked​ ​well​ ​in​ ​the​ ​setting.​ ​I’m​ ​a​ ​Dominion​ ​player.​ ​I​ ​usually​ ​play​ ​lots​ ​of​ ​Dominion for​ ​the​ ​XP​ ​and​ ​I​ ​love​ ​team​ ​Objective​ ​based​ ​PVP.​ ​Tribute​ ​as​ ​it​ ​stands​ ​would​ ​absolutely​ ​be​ ​a staple​ ​in​ ​my​ ​Battle​ ​ground​ ​rotation.​ ​Graphics​ ​in​ ​this​ ​battle​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​the​ ​game​ ​are​ ​visual​ ​eye candy.​ ​Aesthetics​ ​take​ ​me​ ​to​ ​a​ ​location​ ​set​ ​in​ ​the​ ​past​ ​for​ ​a​ ​battle​ ​of​ ​sword,​ ​shield,​ ​and​ ​a​ ​one trip​ ​ticket​ ​to​ ​Valhalla.

The​ ​brutal,​ ​fast​ ​paced​ ​action​ ​of​ ​the​ ​battle,​ ​gaining​ ​Tribute​ ​for​ ​the​ ​buffs,​ ​and​ ​chasing down​ ​the​ ​enemy​ ​player​ ​with​ ​the​ ​tribute​ ​is​ ​not​ ​only​ ​satisfying,​ ​it​ ​leaves​ ​you​ ​wanting​ ​more,​ ​and more,​ ​and​ ​more…​ ​Before​ ​you​ ​know​ ​it​ ​your​ ​will​ ​have​ ​queued​ ​for​ ​20​ ​battles​ ​and​ ​you​ ​still​ ​just​ ​don’t want​ ​to​ ​stop.

The​ ​controls​ ​themselves​ ​are​ ​novice​ ​enough​ ​to​ ​learn​ ​quickly,​ ​while​ ​they​ ​have​ ​a​ ​depth​ ​to them​ ​seemingly​ ​more​ ​advanced​ ​as​ ​you​ ​get​ ​into​ ​the​ ​game​ ​and​ ​characters​ ​you​ ​are​ ​playing​ ​level up.​ ​You’ll​ ​start​ ​to​ ​find​ ​more​ ​and​ ​more​ ​things​ ​you​ ​can​ ​do,​ ​block,​ ​parry,​ ​or​ ​combo​ ​the​ ​more​ ​you play.​ ​Seems​ ​the​ ​designers​ ​set​ ​the​ ​layer​ ​on​ ​layer​ ​of​ ​combos​ ​and​ ​moves​ ​to​ ​accommodate​ ​your strategy​ ​as​ ​a​ ​player.​ ​Creating​ ​a​ ​dynamic​ ​in​ ​the​ ​more​ ​intimate​ ​you​ ​get​ ​with​ ​each​ ​character​ ​you play,​ ​the​ ​more​ ​sweet​ ​moves​ ​you’re​ ​going​ ​to​ ​find​ ​you​ ​can​ ​pull​ ​off​ ​in​ ​any​ ​given​ ​situation.

If​ ​I​ ​close​ ​my​ ​eyes,​ ​I​ ​feel​ ​like​ ​I’m​ ​on​ ​a​ ​battlefield.​ ​My​ ​7.1​ ​RIG​ ​515HD​ ​Lava​ ​loves​ ​For Honor’s​ ​sound​ ​setup.​ ​The​ ​clashing​ ​of​ ​swords,​ ​thunderous​ ​shield​ ​blows,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​pitter​ ​patter​ ​of ninja’s​ ​in​ ​the​ ​rafters​ ​all​ ​can​ ​be​ ​heard​ ​in​ ​crisp​ ​clear​ ​quality.

In​ ​Conclusion​ ​:​ ​Shut​ ​up​ ​and​ ​take​ ​my​ ​money!​ ​lol​ ​Sorry…​ ​In​ ​all​ ​seriousness,​ ​in​ ​conclusion: If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​tried​ ​For​ ​Honor,​ ​like​ ​For​ ​Honor,​ ​or​ ​even​ ​tried​ ​it​ ​and​ ​put​ ​it​ ​down​ ​for​ ​a​ ​while…​ ​you WILL​ ​be​ ​back​ ​for​ ​this​ ​battle.​ ​It’s​ ​an​ ​amazing​ ​experience.​ ​It​ ​not​ ​only​ ​integrates​ ​well​ ​with​ ​the​ ​rest of​ ​the​ ​game,​ ​but​ ​it​ ​brings​ ​a​ ​whole​ ​new​ ​dynamic​ ​of​ ​a​ ​fast​ ​paced​ ​”Capture​ ​the​ ​Flag”​ ​type​ ​BG you’re​ ​going​ ​to​ ​want​ ​to​ ​queue​ ​for​ ​again,​ ​and​ ​again.​ ​
