So then, War of the Roses or Chivalry ?

decisions, decisions !! any advice welcome.
 
Latest version:

- Outside of game RCON interface now has been implemented.
- RCON settings format has been changed to work with the new external interface and need to be updated manually.

Pitched battle could be fun. May have to get back on this to have a go and see how it feels after the mayhem of chivalry
 
Had a go of this tonight, seems ok tho has some alt and tab issues like when u alt and tab out then back in its in window mode and if u alt and enter to do full screen its fs alright but in a very low res which is annoying.

The game is fun but unforgiving as i tried the tutorial it didnt help much after a few swinging tips it had no go here and do this or that etc unless i missed it.

When i did mp i was unsure how to change class or equip my toon the way i want to and i still am a bit unsure. All i know is you cant do much in mp lobbies u need to go to the main screen and adjust profile there kinda but even then im not sure u can upgrade stuff. Tho i only got to level 1 and unlocked guardsman but thats it no new weapons or armor to try or attacks. :/

Somehow ppl can attack a lot faster unless they just dont do charge attacks like i do which i thought would be the best idea. Axes are lethal as well as them broadsword wielding ppl who just one shot u. Not like i duno how to block and stuff its just for some reason when i attack i cant kill or even scratch em (how to tell if u hurt em i dunno yet). Ah well i did managed to get 2 or 3 lucky kills but i think they were unarmored units.

Guess timing is key and unfortunately due to servers i were on it was a bit of a lag fest with some people scoring in the 200-400 pings where i was 90 or below. Shame about that like.

I did like the gfx tho they were quite nice and detailed. Seemed pretty smooth im guessing a decent fps (didnt have fraps on at the time) with 1080p and ultra gfx options when doing custom settings.

Tho i feel i want a game like this for a change of pace its a bit hard to learn without going to utube or somit as tutorial was crap and didnt guide me much, mp which it only seems to be in this game as i couldnt see a sp option anywhere, is a bit unforgiving for new players imo. But on the upside it was fun when i did things right or was with some ppl and it let me have the chance to swing longer at enemies which otherwise i couldnt if i was on my own lol.

Price is nice but will i play it after the free weekend, i dunno. Anyhow those are my first impressions of this when trying it on free weekend.
 
I think Chivalry is the more fun game, not trying to hate on War of the Roses or anything (as a huge M&B fan), just my 2p :)

Yeah the game is very lag dependant. How can you reliably parry when your opponent is lagging. That's the downfall of the game really.

I have a feeling the hitboxes have a tendency to get confused when there's a concentrated group of players fighting, as button mashing seems the best tactic then. And I scored 3 headshots with the arrows, only 1 resulted in a kill which seemed a little odd.

But like you say the graphics + levels are really nice. The fonts + menu could do with making a little more presentable, but not that big a deal.
 
I take it there's no SP to it? I got Chivalry a couple of days and it's good fun, but I'd go for this as well if there was a semi-decent SP. Doesn't look like it though.
 
Yeah theres no sp.

Also i had another go today. That forest level is killer on fps, i duno why but i had bad fps on extreme gfx and medium gfx. I take it its not my comp but the level itself is just unoptimized as hell or somit.

If you alt+tab, just go on setting, change it to NO fullscreen and revert it. Just in case anyone didn't know... quickest way to do it :p

Easier still press ALT+ENTER.

I've been getting a few disconnects to menu lately. Kinda annoying when you're in the middle of a battle.
