I was looking for a thread for Chivalry 2 and couldn't find one until I stumbled into this thread, I guess I should have known :P

Chiv 2 is loving bananas. I had so much fun this weekend spamming the battle cry button every time I spawned, trying out the different classes and generally having a blast. Footman is my poo poo so far, lots of people don't know how to handle the stabs just yet so it's pretty easy to get kills. Really excited for the full release, I'm gonna play the poo poo out of this game man.

This game is the best kind of dumb fun.

Please tell me they kept the same VA for all of the returning classes. Especially the Mason Man-at-Arms. Dodging around like a lunatic while spamming the Help! callout was the best way to be an annoying little poo poo in Chiv1 :allears:

Had a blast with what I've played so far, absolutely loving playing Footman with a spear. Dashing back out of someone's swing range and then poking them in the face is intensely satisfying.

I'll work on getting the new thread up by tomorrow. If you've got an idea for thread names, post 'em here. General gist of the thread is going to be general medieval combat sims and fighters. Mordhau, Chivalry, For Honor, that sort of thing

The Something Awful Forums > Discussion > Games > ...

... Medieval Combat Sims: Parry This You Filthy Casual

... Medieval Combat Sims: Chivalry is dead, long live Chivalry 2

... Sword Games: Twist and Shout

I didn't play the Chiv 2 beta but I'll probably end up getting it. Anybody got any good screams they hard yet, on the level of "It seems the peasants have risen up and found swords!"

Glad I'm not alone in loving Chiv 2. Fell off of Mordhau hard with how finicky it felt. Played the Chiv beta and I feel that warm feeling again. Being able to chamber in a more intuitive and fun way makes the battles feel like a Jedi duel.

Is there a goon discord for Chiv 2? I had a loving blast in both betas and can't wait for release. Love to see how the game plays when people really coordinate.

Put in 22 hours this weekend, thought that would be it but now I am really tempted to pick chivalry up. Didn't play mordhau or the first chivalry so this is really scratching my M&B warband multiplayer itch. Game feels really good overall, although certain maps seemed pretty stacked one way or the other in my experience, raid on the village in particular seemed heavily stacked in favor of the attacking Mason's, I think in around 10 to 12 times playing that the defender's only one once.

Yeah? Both gold capture objectives can be hard to break a defense in, in my experience, but you really need people aware of the objectives and most of the time they're just rushing somewhere random to either try and kill 6 people themselves or join 5 other teammates attacking a single enemy.

The Roadmap they made public today talks about new modes coming later with a smaller playercount and I'm excited for those! A 10v10or such would be pretty cool, or even a 5v5 arena. The war simulation is great and full of funny moments, but sometimes you can spend a full match without getting a good fight in between throwing rocks at people and getting your head chopped by a Messer that started swinging ten meters to your right.

one-handed spear with the knight subclass was great fun, found it to be an excellent duel and disruption weapon. Might just be that most people hadn't seen it much and it had very wide swings, making hitting around blocks pretty easy. Messer was excellent, greatsword even better. Gotta love overhand special attacking lopping off archer heads in one blow

Oh poo poo you have "Shitload of javelins" lifestyle again in Chiv 2, AND people won't cry "Archers are cancer nerf bows!" when you kill them with a javelin because it is a new class type?

That and "I should finish Outer Wilds" make two good reasons to reinstall epic.

It's still an archer subclass and people will still cry when you kill them, but you also get an ability to just instantly replenish your javelins on the move. To throw mote javelins and make them cry more.

I really love that Chiv 2 still has an "attack archers" voice command, standing behind a group of friendly archers and raving about strangling them with their own bowstrings never gets old.

With that said, archers are cool and good and I enjoyed playing them from time to time in both Chiv and Mordhau. :colbert:

Definitely! It's the only archer class that's actually fun because its gameplay usually has you running from group to group to try and surround the enemies fighting and kill them in one shot if they are already a bit injured. Somehow I was actually good at it and I would go on 7-8 killstreaks often and even get lots of commendations, which are either because of great throws or because they're mad, and I consider both of those a win. I just wish the Javelin wasn't so poo poo at melee, but it's understandable.

As far as the archer class goes, bows have their use even if they're kinda boring, and javelin owns, but the crossbow is the worst thing in the game. Such a poo poo weapon for everyone involved! Hits like a truck but if you are actually hitting people more often than not then you're aimbotting or something, and even then you're still spending three-quarters of your time basically idling, as you have to reload and then line up a shot.

Does it one shot bodyshot archers, or is the reason it is the worst thing in the game because it can't even let you play helpful counter archer making dedicated archers scream archers are OP?

I'll take Javelins "being poo poo at melee" to mean they don't have my old dear friend the heavy javelin anymore though :doh:
