Chivalry: Medieval Warfare - Fps/hand to hand combat sim ( INDIE )

MAA with fists is the most fun. Jump in, punch punch punch, jump away etc. I won a game 30:12 using just fists.

Vanguard is my fav with the zweihander and war axe, but it's a bit OP so I'm trying to mix it up. Hate archer with a passion unless it's for melee, although going spear is alright.

Afaik fists are bugged, they ignore the other players blocks. Well, that was the last when I played it last about a week ago, may have been patched since.

Nah people block my punches with swords regularly. Then they smack me with polearms because the reach on them spears is ridonculous. Can't dodge away from a swipe on them.
 
Meh, decent game but buggy. Joining a friends game became a chore towards the end of the free weekend. Gameplay is fun but things like time of damage and the animation displayed don't match up too well. Sometimes get from behind a guy who's swinging at the person in front and sometimes my shield base/kick doesn't do anything or is blocked. But when it's fun it's really fun. I haven't purchased the game yet but I'm still able to play it for free by launching it from the Steam Apps folder.
 
Bought this ages ago and couldnt get onto any servers, either full, empty,failed or there wasnt any servers. No surprise it was the same lastnight but luckily i came across http://www.chivalrythegame.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7082 and me and my freeloader friends could play together!

Mace and shield = win btw took on 3 people and somehow come away alive but bearly then got took out by crossbow.

That may well be due to the amount of lag from so many people playing. I've played on a few UK servers with nice low ping and about 10 or so people on before this free weekend and everything was fantastic. Well, apart from getting my arms hacked off with a claymore :p
 
I like it and im incredibly fussy on my games it just needs a few UT3 ini tweaks here and there like the slightly laggy and jittery netcode.Performance seems to suck as well considering the whole image uses no AA but instead blurs the entire image.

Highly reccomend going into the config and enabling maxsmoothframerates to 0 min 60 max for no microstutter.I got it running pretty damm smooth but cannot get -DX11 codepath to work properly.

They said MSAA is possible under DX11 but i get wobbly ground textures etc sadly :/

Fan-bloody-tastic! Wish I'd seen this earlier or I would have downloaded it before I got home! Very much looking forwards to seeing what they've done. Wonder if my zweihander/war axe combo will still be the server-emptier it was.

Flail? Droooool
 
Where is the OCUK server then lads? I have been playing on multiplay in the evenings but it would be cool if OCUK had a 32man server up for the odd weekend.Maybe a mini CTF tourny?

Also for anyone who is a two hand sword or axe user i have been trying some new keybinds that seem to work quite well for vanguard/knight.What i have done is put the primary attack on RMB and unbinded anything that conflicts with the bind.I then put alternate slash on LMB and keep the default mwheel up stab mwheel down overhead and put block on my side mouse button.

Now when i hit LMB i swing left RMB i swing right so no holding down ALT and i can easily set up left to right combo's and such.If someone comes at me with a shield in thier left hand then i simply swing the other side and force them to face it with the shield.

just wanted to say - what a fantastic game

I bought it on a sale the other week, and its been the most played game out of all the games I have during that time

it just seems so much fun - all be it occasionally frustrating
 
Hi guys,

Picked this up midweek and I'm having issues with my keybindings - specifically, I can't strafe. I'm a lefty so I like to use the arrow keys; I'm led to believe this is an issue but there is a fix :)

Any ideas?
 
Steam Summer Sale bump!

Starting to get the hang of this, although I'm minced mostly, still. I'm enjoying the two-handed game, and I wonder which class people would recommend for my playstyle. I like to got for 1 vs 1s if I can, with a weapon that offers a good balance between damage and speed.
