Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

[Changeling]

This is the game made by ex-Battlefield 2 devs, right?

It's made by AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[jyoung]

I don't know about that, as this game was originally a Half Life 2 mod (Age of Chivalry), and then they upgraded it to Unreal Engine 3 thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign.

You should buy it though if you like Battlefield.

We play this during lunch at work, and it's a lot of fun. Glad to see a patch coming because the game desperately needs balance adjustments. Maybe it's not as noticeable on large 32 or 64 player servers, but when you're playing 3 v 3 or 5 v 5 it becomes really obvious.

[jyoung]

Man at arms is definitely the best dueling class because of his speed, shield and dodging abilities, but in big battles, he's easily chopped down.

I haven't seen any other major balance issues.

[dave is ok]

Vanguards are a little brainless. You can really just use LMB and get tons of kills.

[jyoung]

Nah, the left mouse button with most Vanguard weapons has tons of recovery time when it is blocked and can be easily punished when it is spammed.

Also it's a straight-line stab, so you can easily 8-way-run around it ala Soul Calibur and make them pay for their whiffed attack.

I tried playing archer today and it's bullshit how you can shoot someone in the head with 2 light bow arrows and it still takes a 3rd arrow to bring them down. I was getting like 20+ assists and only 2 kills per round as the light archer.

Javelin is the same bullshit, you throw one right in someone's head and they keep walking around with it sticking out.

Those need to be instant kills. Maybe the better unlocks for archer class are?

That said, when you do the running javelin throw to someone and they die, it is a thing of beauty. Straight out of Hitler's 1936 Olympic fantasies.

the 3rd bow for archer can one shot anything but knights with a headshot; if you use the light armor arrows you can one shot an archer anywhere but the legs.
