What's the difference between this and Gundam Evolution?

[DanB]

Just watching the preview stuff, they appear to be very similar.

[Sayla Massochist]

Gundam Evolution is a hero shooter. Like Team Fortress 2/Overwatch/Paladins and so on. You have your Heroes (in this case MS) and you go fast pace. You can change your skin and such (like the above mentioned games) but you can't upgrade the MS or anything like that. They are set in stone. It is also first person perspective

Gundam Battle Operation 2 is more like a simulator akin to Mech Warrior Online/World of Tanks and so on. You can get parts to upgrade your units to improve their basic stats and it is much slower paced. It plays a lot more tactically as you can take out the head to damage their camera, or the legs to slow down their speed. You can also get out of your MS and make repairs or even attack sort of akin to a third person battlefield game (though why you'd ditch your MS except for repairs I dunno).

Sounds good! Thanks for the explanation.

Well you see Gundam Evolution is an actual game, this is a dead game.

Thats the difference.

With gundam evolution, at least they're still communicating with the playerbase. And the network test is still going on as well, just not for PC. With gbo2, it's complete radio silence and the game has been "undergoing maintenance" since forever. The network test ended so abruptly with no information on when it'll come back. It's safe to say that bandai don't give a rat's ass about this game being on the PC.

So, just to be clear, this game has no single player content other than a bit of a tutorial v bots?

It has training too with bots but as far as some sort of story mode or such then no. if you want what I guess you could call a story mode there is Code Fairy that came out recently but so far it is only on PS4/5.

This is a gacha game. I've never played GBO2, but usually gacha involves around you doing daily tasks in order to win some sort of coin.
Then you spend those coins in order to obtain items/characters/weapons, that is purely based on luck what you are going to get.
Items/Characters/Weapons are usually ranked from Rare to Ultra Rare, the quantity of tier between those varies.
You can buy those coins and that's how they make money.
I can only hope that the prices are localized, so it won't be an assault to buy the "event special package", which is usually pretty damn cheap for what you get.

It has a little bit of single player.. but not much.

It has a boss mode, a survival mode and a challange mode that can be played solo with AI or Coop. In all three if you manage to finish them below certain time limits you can get upgrade parts, ingame currency and premium currency. Though these challanges dont reset weekly so once you manage to finish them there is little point in repeating.

It's free to play man. Story games aren't free to play. Maybe you'd be interested in the Super Deformed game that is coming out today. If it were $40 instead of $60 I might check it out. Personally, I'm really only interested in multiplayer.

It isn't on PC yet, or maybe ever, but there IS a whole singleplayer story based counterpart to GBO2 called Code Fairy. It's a full priced game PS4 game right now.

and Battle Operation is UC only, so don't expected mobile suits from other gundam universe.

Gundam Evolution is Gundam Overwatch,GBO2 is real Gundam game

If real Gundam game means peer to peer networking in a competitive game, no thanks!

it's still possible if they declare all UC differently but of course it will take a long time

At times it can be better to bail out than sit through the respawn timer. Other times you can steal other suits that left out(like someone making repairs or left to cap a point).
