Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare

How do you switch to a different version of a class? Do you press right or left on the d pad? Unlocked Rugby All Star and fire Sun Flower.
 
I really wish they would have used Microsoft's servers. I've been getting a good bit of lag.

Other than that, I can't really complain. It'll be a nice little time kill.

I wish MS and Sony would double team EA and not allow them to put their games on their console unless accompanied with the servers everybody else uses. It's sad that such a great game has this big red mark on it when Popcap really is a brilliant development house and this game proves to me that they are one of the most robust devs in the market today.
 
So what are the best packs to get when first starting? I am trying to hold out for a 20k pack, only got to 18k coins last night. Any certain mode get you coins faster?

If you have the alt character unlocked just press left or right when selecting character in the game. I don't think option is available in "door mat" or "classic" modes.
 
Am I understanding you only get the alternate characters from the 40k packs? That will take forever to get them all.
 
Looks very interesting. I would like to give this one a go soon.
 
its out now in UK.. should i buy or not.. cant decide.

i wanted it at first but not enough feedback on co-op. i guess i'll scatter the web for them

What do you want to know? Only co-op in the game is Garden Ops. It's essentially a horde mode where you and three other players fight off waves of zombies. Has five difficulties, boss zombies, a bit of tower defense, lots of teamwork, wide variety of zombies, and a slot machine that will essentially give you three bosses at once. If you hit a jackpot, you get treated to a little animated short. If you have X1, split-screen is available. There's 10 waves in total.

For competitive MP, there's essentially three modes. Welcome Mat is sort of like a introduction to playing the game, Vanquish is essentially deathmatch, and Gardens & Graveyards plays like Invasion in Halo Reach where you have to take control of various points or defend them. Game has a ton of unlockables via in-game currency or leveling up a certain amount of times. It's mostly cosmetic, but you can unlock new weapons or alternate characters in the long run. Gameplay is fun, servers on the 360 side seem much more stable right now, and overall, I recommend it.
 
servers were much better tonight. After having more time with the game I strongly feel plants have the advantage.

I thought I liked the first zombie but his gun is pretty weak and his RPG is pretty weak too unless its a direct hit, does it do splash damage cause it doesn't seem like it? I might start using the engineer when zombie, the aiming can be a little tough so I think I need to use his splash damage. I hope he has a weapon upgrade that makes his splash damage stronger and I hope I get it soon. I opened one 20k pack and got the stronger pea for the pea shooter and noticed a big difference and instantly started playing better. I hope it doesn't take to long to get all the weapon upgrades cause going against people that have them is a big disadvantage. I'll stick to opening 20k packs I think and getting to 20k takes a while unless u have no life and can play all day

I bought the game for both consoles. It's weird that I'm having matchmaking issues on the Xbox 360. Xbox One is perfectly fine, but Xbox 360 I can't find a Gardens & Graveyards game. If you try to cancel it freezes up & you have to Dashboard. Then the games I joined via my buddy the games were never full & trickled down eventually to nobody on the other team.

The Foot Soldier zombie isn't weak. You just have to know how to use him. It's about getting on roofs (aim for critical hits/headshots) & providing support fire & ZRPG blasts from a distance. There is good splash damage on the ZRPG, I don't get where you're saying his ZRPG is "weak." Once you thin them out from a distance as a support role, move up, throw your Fume/Gas grenade, rocket in the air, look down & do another ZRPG blast. By this time the whole zone should be clear & you can cap the heck out of the zone. One of my favorite classes honestly. You need to think, rooftops, rooftops, rooftops with the Foot Soldier. It's key to avoiding the Chompers as well.

I bought a 40 as my first pack, got the fire chomped, fun but wish in had consumables and stuff
Well, they are adding microtransactions over time & adding free bi-monthly DLC along with it, so there's still more to come.

No, I believe it's the last three packs can give you them. The 40,000, 20,000, or 10,000 packs. The 40,000 just guarantees you get enough to theoretically make a character. To get the extra characters you need the five stickers to put together to form the one extra character. The 20,000 packs usually give you two stickers for two different extra characters. Over time you build the character completely when all five stickers are in place. The 40,000 simply guarantees that you get five stickers I believe?

I experience so much lag in this game...It seems that I have to shoot people 20 times just to kill them.
Why???
I love this game so much!!!!
But the hit detection is killing it for me.
 
What class are you using? You shouldn't be hitting enemies a ton. It's a little more than most games, but it's still not as bad as you're saying. The sunflower is the weakest because it can heal, so yes, that particular gun sucks, but you're more of a support role & supposed to be healing, etc. I agree that a couple of the guns could be boosted in damage by a very small percentage, but I still don't think it's that bad. It's more about working as team, it's not Call of Duty. For some reason this game "feels" a lot to me how Mass Effect 3 felt as far as the connection in Garden Ops compared to the co-op in Mass Effect 3. (not how fast the enemies died, but the solid hit detection)

I live in Australia so it's not cloud based servers,So I'm connecting to Americans based servers and pinging at 300ms ping.
I use every class type! My shots are registering but there "health" meter doesn't gp down.they shoot me 4 times with the pea-shooter and I go down first!

Probably one of the most honest PvZ reviews I've read, I'd have to say I agree with him on a lot of the points:

Uh, yeah...there's your problem right there, man. This game definitely runs way better here in the U.S. with a lot lower latency.
 
i am REALLY enjoying this game. i like the co-op, its like the Survival mode in Gears judgment

and MP at first i didnt really like but now that i am level 3 on most of the characters its alot more fun and varied.
 
I finally started playing the soldier and he's got some great steady aim. Best in the whole game. Gotta say though, I think I prefer the Peashooter because of it's chili bean bomb and hyper ability. I can just cover more ground than any other character in the game.
