Explore the new features in Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, including Silos, Pipelines, Black Hole weapons, and new COs and CO Powers. Learn how they impact gameplay.

Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising introduces several new elements to the gameplay. These include new terrain features like Silos and Pipelines, unique Black Hole weapons, and a roster of new Commanding Officers (COs) with enhanced CO Powers.

• Silos: These can be fired by Infantry or Mech units, dealing 3 damage to all units within a two-square radius. They are single-use per battle and effective against high-armor units.
• Pipelines and Pipe seams: Impenetrable pipes that block movement, though gaps can be created by destroying pipe seams.
• Black Hole Weapons: Exclusive to the Black Hole army, these include powerful tools like the Black Cannon, which the player cannot use.
• New COs and CO Powers: Each force gains new COs, with Black Hole receiving four additional ones. All COs now have a standard CO Power and a Super CO Power, with Sturm being an exception who only has a Super CO Power. Notable new COs include Hachi, Colin, Sensei, Jess, Hawke, Lash, Adder, and Flak.
