I picked up a shared PSN copy of the game the other day. Only about a third of the way through story mode, and only played a few online matches. I somehow still won a couple times with my hodge-podge UNAC squad.

Despite being a one-man team with almost no experience, the Royal Vanguard is ranked 362nd globally. This must have sold under 5000 copies across all of Europe and America, huh? :(

Edit: The OP really needs a section on UNACs. They're one of the most notable features of Verdict Day.

There was a free slot, so I just joined Goonal Cortex. Still need to finish the campaign though. I notice achievements for 'Hardcore mode' - is it like in AC4, where there were a full second set of harder missions with more poo poo going wrong?

Aw, that's a pity. AC4's take on Hard mode was really inspired. It quickly devolved into Murphy's Law: The Game. If something could possibly go wrong, it did.

Edit: The campaign isn't huge, but it's longer than a lot of chatter in this thread makes it sound. There are 10 story missions, but each one has 5-6 side-missions attached to it, some of which are pretty tough and lengthy, especially once the crazy lost-technology robots start coming out to play.

Aaaargh, my wallet! What exactly dictates whether you get a factional stipend on mission earnings/costs? Because I just ran a Vs Defense sortie and ended up 150k Robux in the red due to them not paying anything for repairs and ammo.

Also, how do you command UNACs? The game makes reference to it repeatedly. Does it mean from the Operator UI? Even then, I can't quite figure it out. Do they listen to the text-commands given when you press right on the D-pad?
