A final national tournament, the "Last Shooting," was held on June 26, 2021, with the winners receiving a custom gold embellished [[RX-78-2 Gundam|Gundam]] and [[YMS-15 Gyan|Gyan]] skins in ''Bonds of the Battlefield II''.

Service of ''Mobile Suit Gundam: Bonds of the Battlefield'' would conclude on November 30, 2021 after fifteen years. ==Overview== The game has a P.O.D (Panoramic Optical Display) that resembles a Mobile Suit Cockpit. It has adjustable seats, surround sound speakers, a projector screen, and controls both at the hands and feet. A single game lasts about 10–15 minutes and mostly has 4 P.O.Ds or more. If you are with other people voice chat can be possible between players, though it is not required. Each person must insert their pilot card into its slot and money to begin gameplay. Gameplay between players oversea is possible and available. ==Gameplay== '''Game requirements'''- Each person can create a pilot card that costs 300 yen each. They have a decision to join the [[Earth Federation]] or [[Principality of Zeon]]. Players choose a Pilot name, clothes and voice. The game card has your gameplay information such as your ranking, platoon, affiliation, points, kills, name and the last time the card has been used. The card has 100 uses so after you use them all you must buy another and transfer the information on the new card. '''First Launch-''' When new players have considerable difficulty controlling their mobile suit, they circle "beginners" on the reservation sheet to indicate if they will be piloting alone or with other beginners. When play begins, beginners fight on a separate map "Side 7" and they begin the battle. All pilots, whether the Federation or Zeon, use their basic mobile suits. '''Typical Gameplay-'''When a pilot is promoted to Private Second Class, battling on the main map is possible. Battles are based on their rank,so players will play on their rank opponents and allies. After every gaming session, players go to the pilot terminal and receive the points they earned and any new mobile suits or upgrades. Dealing damage in each game, the pilot that did the damage receives those points and destroying a mobile suit based on what they are receive a certain amount of points, Additionally a pilots allies that destroy another mobile suit gain a small amount of points. Bars on the left of the screen (blue for the Federation and Red for Zeon) display overall strength of each team. Destroying a mobile suit decreases your opponents bar by the amount of your mobile suit. If the opponents bar is depleted then they lose before the time ends then the other team wins. A draw happens when both bars are the same amount when the time ends. ==Mechanics== The mobile suits are divided into five different categories which are melee, short, medium, long-range support, and sniper units. ===Earth Federation Forces/Titans=== *[[RB-79 Ball]] *[[RB-79K Ball Type K]] *[[RGM-79［G］ GM Ground Type]] *[[RGM-79［G］ GM Sniper]] *[[RGM-79 GM]] *[[RGM-79L GM Light Armor]] *[[RGM-79SC

Features exclusive to the PSP version include "Mission Mode", which gives basic tutorials and allows up to three players to accomplish predetermined objectives, and "Extended Operation Mode" which pits teams against one another in three consecutive arcade matches. The map can be determined in the beginning, but the latter two mission maps are subject to random selection (or is determined by the losing team if in multiplayer). The winning team will be given a handicap on subsequent missions (units and bases starting with HP damage, reducing frame defense, etc.). ==Gallery== <gallery captionalign="left" spacing="medium"> Index.jpeg 51KOrOHAvML.jpg Pod.jpeg Pod2.jpeg Bonds of the Battlefield.jpg 7561e0e494b715dfea30-LL.jpg </gallery> ==External links== *[//www.gundam-kizuna.jp/index.php http://www.gundam-kizuna.jp/index.php]
