Hey, some of you may already know this source mod for HL2. I found it again (after like 1 year) and it happened alot! The mod is basically about medieval times and pretty brutal. Combat is hard to learn but fun if you know how to time your attacks and blocks and parries. Here is a cinematic teaser made just for that mod. Looks nice and makes you battle hungry! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqgwdxhbqsMNothing better than decapitating a puny archer with a broadsword or crushing(literally) some skulls with a warhammer/mace. See you on the battlegrounds! |

If I get shot and it's a gay medic fixing me up, he's not gonna be fondling my balls while he does it. You can't patch a chest wound and suck a cock at the same time.

You have to catch them first. |

You have to catch them first. Yeah i know they can run like Forrest Gump, but believe me, most of the time they will be so shocked that they still try to shoot you through your shield, instead of running away. |

Akranadas' Greatest Hits, Volume 1: Vet has nothing to do with unit preformance. We are serious about enforcing this, and I am sure you all want to be able to have your balance thought considered by the development team with some biased, sensationalist coming into your thread and ruining it. |

One thing I have certainly learned from being an archer is to take a shot, or 2, and then check my surroundings quickly before another 1, or 2, shots. etc.. etc.. Too many times of people ending up behind my team mates and I.... Where did my head go? Yeah i know they can run like Forrest Gump, but believe me, most of the time they will be so shocked that they still try to shoot you through your shield, instead of running away.
Used to happen to me when first played, but I quickly learned that shooting arrows at a giant armored beast with its shield up thats charging(slowly) you can be hazardous to your health unless they are already low on hp. |

Meh, I love Mount and Blade, but I wish it looked like this.

Shit I'm pretty sure you could offer the guy a cup of coffee and he'd try to kill you with the mug if you forgot sugar.
That's like offering Beer to fuck the fat chick. It will work for a while, but it's not gonna last. Not only that, but there is zero motivation for the Fat chick to loose weight.
Why don't you collect up your love beads and potpourri and find something constructive to do.

I liked mount and blade and I eagerly await the mods coming for it but eventually even 1000 man cavalry battles get boring without multiplayer.
AOC gets old because it's the same thing all over again.
At least mount and blade has random terrain and the mixture of lords with their armies is always different in each battle. Bing a horse archer is practically cheating though because when you get skilled enough you can ride a spirited courser full speed and snipe the heads of your enemies 4 times out of 5.

IF YOU WANT ANALOG GAMING! GO JOIN THE SCA! GO NERDS GO! Even a "nerd" in the SCA could probably beat the living daylights out of you if he had a suit of armor and a yard stick  AOC gets old because it's the same thing all over again.
This is true, although there is at least moderate depth to the combat (blocking is a bit crap even when you have it mastered, however...) As for me I'm not sure I'll ever get a whole lot out of medieval combat games now that I know what I do about the use of actual medieval weapons. Hell I barely enjoy some hollywood presentations using swords because of how fast the hero would get killed realistically  |
