I'm surprised that there is no thread for this wonderful little shooter, so here it goes.

What is this?
Garden Warfare is a breath of fresh air in the stale and awful sea of derivative and unoriginal brown bro shooters. Throw tf2 into the pot, add acid, some alcohol, a dash of pot, mix it, bake it and that's what you get - a great team based, tactical and humorous online shooter. Anyone can play this game, but it takes a surprising ammount of skill to do well.

But EA, genre, origin...
Despite the fact that it was touched by the devil (EA) it has less micro transactions than TF2, with just as many cool stuff to unlock. You can see that POPCAP fought tooth and nail in order to make this game truly great. I know what you're thinking, XCOM the bureau all over again. I'm happy to tell you that's just not the case. It stands on its own leafs as a class based multiplayer, objective driven shooter. Unfortunately you need origin.

Why should I play it?

1. A lot of game modes:
The game features a cooperative mode and three competitive multiplayer modes.

Garden Ops: A cooperative mode where up to four players take control of each of the plants defending a garden through ten zombie waves, with the fifth and tenth waves being boss waves.
Team Vanquish: A team deathmatch variant.

Gardens and Graveyards: A game mode where players either capture (as zombies) or defend (as plants) various objectives. It is a parody of the Conquest and Rush modes from the Battlefield series.

Gnome Bomb: A game mode where players attempt to secure a bomb (strapped to the back of a hapless gnome) and detonate at various bases. It is similar to Obliteration mode from Battlefield 4.

Mixed Mode: A game mode where both Team Vanquish mode and Gardens and Graveyards mode are used interchangeably. It will be one of the two modes with either zombies or plants. Then the next mode played right after will be the same mode along with the same map. However, the player will be using the opposite character team from before. Using the opposite character team does not happen all the time. After two matches of the same mode are complete, the other mode mentioned will do the same action as described.

2. A lot of classess:

PLANT VARIANTS

Peashooter
- Fire Pea: burning shots
- Ice Pea: freezing shots; slower rate of fire
- Toxic Pea: toxic shots; toxic aura
- Commando Pea: faster rate of fire; less range; loses splash damage
- Agent Pea: sniper shots (crits); longer range?

Sunflower
- Mystic Flower: charged shot; much less ammo
- Power Flower: faster shots; increased damage; splash damage; less ammo
- Fire Flower: burning shots
- Shadow Flower: faster rate of fire but has less range
- Metal Petal: more health; moves slower

Chomper
- Hot Rod Chomper: gains speed boost while chewing a zombie
- Toxic Chomper: toxic spray; toxic aura
- Fire Chomper: flame spray
- Power Chomper: electric spray
- Count Chompula: gains back health after eating a zombie

Cactus
- Camo Cactus: very far range; increased damage; less ammo; slow reload
- Fire Cactus: burning shots

- Future Cactus: charged shot; less range

ZOMBIE VARIANTS

Foot Soldier

- Super Commando: triple shot; reload after every shot; fast reload
- General Supremo: gatling gun (uses overheat like All-Star)
- Tank Commander: explosive shots

Engineer
- Welder: burning shots; slower reload

Scientist
- Marine Biologist: increased range? dolphin gun!
- Dr. Toxic: toxic shots; toxic aura

All-Star

- Goalie Star: freezing shots
- Baseball Star: longer range
- Hockey Star: toxic shots
- Rugby Star: explosive shots; shorter range; slower rate of fire

5 variants per class + 8 classes = 40 variants total
5 stickers per variant = 200 variant stickers total

3. Constant stream of free DLC.
New class variants, new maps, new upgrades, new plants, new zombies like WOAH. I would love to hear how POPCAP got it all through EA :crossarms:

What about the bad stuff?
Well the game, unfortunately is not perfect.
-voip is always on. You have to mash "toggle mute all" 2/3 times in a round.
-there are no numbers for ANYTHING. Ohh a cool new gun/ability/upgrade, is it good? I have NO IDEA.
-cooperative mode is a little basic
-you have A LOT of things to unlock so some people may be annoyed by this

Why did I make this thread?
I love Garden Warfare and play it constantly. This game has a LOT of things in it, class variants, weapons, upgrades, npc zombies to throw, plant turrets to drop and all of it has absolutely no numbers or any description in-game. I love how you guys theorycraft everything and I'm tired of looking through the net for out of date or just badly written guides. It's my first thread (I welcome any and all suggestions) and If someone makes a better one please do so and I will close this. If you have any questions about the game, be my guest.
