Now, for the first time in the series, the Plants are on the attack, and it is the Zombies' turn to defend their newly claimed homeland. Long after the events of Garden Warfare during the long, crazy war between Plants and Zombies, the Zombies have finally conquered Suburbia and renamed it Zomburbia. Loyalty rewards are given to players that made it to a certain rank in Garden Warfare, with the final loyalty reward obtained by reaching rank 313, awarding the player the Unicorn Chomper. If players pre-order the game they receive Z7 Imp, which is also a spoof of the Mass Effect franchise. Some of this information was later added to the official website. Nearly all customization items from the first Garden Warfare are not returning to Garden Warfare 2 (this does not apply to gestures, as they will return, thanks to the Mystery Portal events). Also, a new ranking system has been introduced, however, this means that every player will start at Rank 1 when they begin the game for the first time. In the same article, a single-player mode was confirmed, along with six new classes including Citron and Super Brainz, over 100 playable characters and 12 new maps. However, the promotional characters ( Berry Shooter, Citrus Cactus, Chester Chomper, and Dr. On a GamesRadar article, EA confirmed that players who unlocked playable characters in the first game will have their characters in the sequel already unlocked.

For those scared off by competitive online play, there is also Welcome Mat, which pits new players against each other as they learn.
These range from team deathmatch and capture point variants to the more unique Gnome Bomb which turns the traditional CTF (capture the flag) game mode on its head. In competitive play, up to 24 players can compete in six different game modes.
Although these modes play well and provide an equal amount of thrill and laughs, Garden Warfare fails to add to the genre, instead becoming a family-friendly clone. This game mode, of course, mirrors similar horde-based modes in games from Gears of War to the more recent Overwatch PvE (player versus environment) modes. Once the plants have defeated the final wave, they must escape to an extraction point and survive until the clock hits zero. Furthermore, as players can choose their plant-based class, gameplay offers a large variety of opportunities. Here, the gameplay stays fresh with “boss waves” whereby a slot machine spawns different boss zombies and rewards players with coins. And, as if that wasn’t enough, players can find Flower Pots and Bone Piles around each multiplayer map in which they can place defensive turrets to further support their team, harking back to the series’ origins.Ĭooperative play offers “Garden Ops”, a game mode whereby four players take control of the Plants in order to defend their garden from waves of invading zombies. Each of these classes has three unique abilities, be it launching area of effect attacks or burrowing underground, which provides that extra punch to spice up the gameplay. The Peashooter and Foot Soldier are the standard ranged grunts the Chomper and the All-Star engage in close-combat the Cacti fight at range while the Sunflower, Scientist and Engineer support their teams in the fight to victory.
