This is a free-to-play multi-player team action game for the Playstation 3, developed and published by Namco Bandai Games, released in Japan on June 28, 2012 via download from the Playstation Network.

Gameplay

Players are grouped into teams, minimum of two, maximum of six per side. If entering a Quick Match, the player will be randomly put into the Federation or Zeon forces with a starter unit (GM/Zaku II). The game will not begin until there is an equal number of participants and players from both sides confirm a complete launch preparation.

MS are categorized into 3 types: All-Purpose, Artillery, and Close-Combat. All-Purpose types have balanced stats and can equip a variety of weapons. Artillery units are durable and have powerful cannons but cannot perform melee attacks. Close-Combat units can only equip low-power weaponry, but can perform a combo attack with correctly-timed button presses.
Once all launch preparations are complete, teams will emerge from their respective home bases and start a mission with several objectives:

  • Defeat opposing Mobile Suits.
  • Capture outposts scattered around the map area.
  • Invade the opposing force's base to destroy it with a time bomb.
The player has the option to disembark from his/her unit to avoid detection when performing an invasion. However, there is always the risk of being hit by mobile suit weaponry (which will result in instant defeat), interception by other players on foot, and the unit being stolen/destroyed while unmanned. This is also the only way to capture an outpost/set a bomb on the enemy base.
Unmanned enemy MS can be stolen to temporarily impair an opposing player's performance, though it does not allow for false flag tactics. A self-destruct timer will start after riding, and will kill the pilot of he/she does not disembark in time.
Aside from armor damage, head and leg damage is also calculated. If the head part is heavily damaged, the radar will be disabled and the camera view will become grainy. Severely damaged leg parts will affect walking speed, and will not be able to support the weight of the MS at the end of a boost dash or jump, resulting in a knockdown.
If defeated, the player can respawn in certain points (near the base, where the MS unit was left after disembarking, captured outposts etc.) either on foot or with an MS (unless the player was subdued on foot, in which case no new MS can be assigned until the unmanned/stolen unit is recovered/destroyed).
Bases and outposts have utility vehicles near them. The player can opt to utilize said vehicles to perform an infiltration, retreat to safety, or in the case of tanks, have an alternative offensive option when unable to access a usable MS.
Heavily damaged MS units can be repaired by returning to base and standing idle within it's vicinity. The pilot can also do a field repair by switching to a repair tool. Base repairs can no longer be done if it has been destroyed.
Points are earned for performing objectives and foiling efforts from the opposition. The team with the most points at the end of the 8-minute mission will be the winners.
After viewing the mission results, development points, rank EXP and equipment research progress will be tabulated. If an item/MS research path is completed (progression is selected at random) it can be developed on the spot for the next mission. If the player sorties more than 4 times in one day, bonuses will be awarded.
Upon reaching Chief Petty Officer rank, players can customize MS colors to suit personal preferences and apply decals earned from level-ups and research paths.
Certain achievements and rank-ups will unlock medals. Medals have varying effects, like increasing MS HP, boosting outpost conquer or bomb setting speed, etc. Only one medal can be equipped at first, but more can be used in later ranks.
Players can have 3 sortie energy items by default at a given time. Extra sortie energy items can be gained by rank level-ups (regular grants stop upon promotion to Petty Officer First Class, but will still be given at certain levels) or purchasing them at the Playstation Store. Once all sortie items have been expended, the player cannot sortie again until after a minimum grace period of 2 hours. (6 hours maximum to fully restore regular sortie energy)

Now Personal Tips from me

Tip #1 . Stay with your team, as a beginner your going to be nothing more than cannon fodder on your own play smart and stay with your team till your able to get a GM Cannon, GM Sniper, Zaku Cannon, Zaku Sniper, Powered GM ((Red GM)), or Zaku II FS.

Tip #2 . To Dismount your Mobile suit hit L2 to crouch and circle to exit your mobile suit, this is vital to learn so you can capture spawn points/Set a bomb on the enemies base.

Tip #3 . To capture a Spawn Point, go to the point labeled A,B,C,D and hold circle, to set a bomb go inside the crate formation and hold circle close to the ship.

Tip #4 . To Desend in pilot mode hit L2, this is a big time saver when capturing points.

Tip #5 . To Dash in pilot mode Forward double tap L1

Tip #6 . To do a melee combo ((only availible in certain suits)) hit the fire button, move your left joystick a direction and fire for another hit.

Forward=Upward Slash
Right/Left=Right Slash/Left Slash
Back= KD Slash((Note that KD slash will take some time to recover its best to boost to the side to cancel the delay))

Tip #7 . To "Blade Grasp" you need to face your opponent and wait for him to slash then hit triangle if timed right you can not only stop your opponents attack but toss him to the ground for a easy slash attack or shoot it with a high damaging beam spam/zooka.

Tip #8 . You can play this on your USA Account once downloaded but note you can't access the online store for more energy or access the parts menu in development so after every battle if you have a Completed Part its best to pay for it there.

It's Japanese....Unless it has the option for English.

Kinda interested, but I've never really liked or played Gundam that much. I'm better off sticking to DUST 514 when it comes out.
 
Yeah its in japanese since the US Rarely gets Gundam Games. But all the translations are here and are pretty easy to memorize after a few days of playing around with it.

It is fun and pretty easy to pick up and play :3
