Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

Figured I'd make one instead of filling the "what are you playing now" thread with my rants.



Quote:
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

What is it:

- First Person Slasher

- With a Multiplayer focus

(A competitive multiplayer FPS).
“You have a sword and you want to hurt some people.”

- Basic concept of the game.

And it works on that level but there is so much depth to the combat that you can become a master swordsman over time.

The game is skill-based and controls like a FPS, but instead of guns and grenades, players are given swords, shields, maces, battleaxes and longbows. Set in a fictional yet gritty and realistic world, players will fight in fast paced online battles besieging castles, raiding medieval villages and fighting for glory in the arena with up to 32 players.











Now that the free Steam weekend is over, the game is actually playable again.

A patch should arrive shortly, hopefully before the end of January.

Patch highlights:

Quote:
New Update will feature:

- Duel Mode, allowing you to continually fight 1 on 1 without risk of interruption
- New weapons, including the Flail and Polehammer
- New Maps
- Capture the Flag Mode
- Improved Optimization
- Balance adjustments

Get more details and teaser images on our website:

http://www.chivalrythegame.com/blog/archives/1683

And for those of you who want the battlefield to be just a little bit messier:

- Blood Decals painting to the ground when a player is struck
- Ragdoll length slider

And of course TONS of bugfixes and polish work to the game overall. All of this is coming to you completely free in January so stay tuned for more details on the update and brush up on your dueling skills!


Personally I'm looking forward the most to the QUARTERSTAFF for the manliest class, the Man-At-Arms. I'll be a goddamn shaolin monk.

Also Anders Breivik is mad at me:



Oh god help me.

Sounds like the chickens are coming home to roost for you, my dear Adrius.

Personally looking forward to the flail, I want to make it my signature weapon (hopefully you can bash people's brains out with it :3) despite the fact that I can't actually play the game properly, YET! (I just spin while hitting and letting peeps get caught in my whirl of death, it has led to some nasty team kills though)

I wonder is it going to look like a big manly polehammer or just a tiny staff looking thing

I would remove those beheading pictures. I'm not sure if that's against the CoC but it sure is against common good taste.

Hmm... nah.

Lay down, assume fetal position, think of a happy place and reassure yourself that the pictures of the bad men fighting aren't real.

Hey there, old member, been lurking for a while (haven't got anything smart to write) and I have been following some threads like What are you playing now.
Small introduction - I got Chivalry over Steam as (catholic) Christmas present and I've been playing it ever since then. It's a good game, although frustrating at times. My biggest issue is with majority of players playing like... well, stupid people, and then going "OH ASH YOU HACKER". I'm a mediocre player at best, only slightly better then spam-LMB gutter scum (if I may say so), so calling me hacker is ridiculous
So, is there some group here on HC that plays, or it's just Adrius? Playing with people that at least aren't completely incompetent and don't prefer writing badly written insults would be enjoyable.

Also, where did you learned that Man-at-Arms will get Quarterstaff? On official site it only mentions Flail and Polehammer.

@DarkShadow - judging from the screenshot, Polehammer will be basically two-handed version of Warhammer that Knight has, so it will be tiny but probably deadly (and realistic if you care about that )

I've seen it in beta gameplay, apparently it kinda blows in comparison to the other MAA weapons.

I use Heather Shield + Dane Axe myself.

As far as I know me, Ivor, Darksy and you play. Also Gunfred is in denial but he'll come around.

I'm Jensen on Steam if any of you feel like playing sometime, you'll recognize the Berserk avatar.

@Joonas: Oh chill.

I plan to reinstall windows and as soon as I do that (hopefully in day or two) I will add you to Steam then we could get to bashing but... ahem, weapons.

DarkShadow, use Mauls (for thickness) and Halberds (it's long), they should do for some time until we get Thunder Hammers or Chain Axes.

Jokes aside, do you happen to know how will they add weapons Adrius? Like new unlockable for each class?

It's an extra column of weapons judging by the beta photage.

For example, the MAA has the Quarterstaff below the Flanged Mace in the weapon selection.

No idea if they will have to be unlocked... maybe you'll need veterancy, would be kinda cool I guess.

EDIT:

Dueling with Criken (awesomely fun guy). Here ya get to see the quarterstaff.

I'm really hoping we'll see outfit customization for this game in the future... that's one thing WotR really has going for it.

Do not be so hard on Chivalry. Chivalry got some advantages over WotR.

- Simple combat
- More shields
- Mature players
- ...

The update sounds like really good stuff to me I have now tried almost all the weapons (except bows etc., i hate these weapons) and need some new ones.

@ Asheron I also play this game A fun thing you should tryy is fighting with the huntingknife, it's quite hard to be mastered but very satisfying to kill these knights with their big-ass swords with such a little thing

@Adrius - I second that, many of people that I shown Chivalry wish that customizing further then one helmet option was reality, myself included.

And now I remember GunFred, he's a stout War of the Roses player and defends it with it's last breath of life I have to admit I haven't even seen gameplay of it, I will have to remedy that later tonight... I do remember screenshots with character customization from it, they look impressive.

Edit - Hey Zeki, I'll add you too on Steam then and I don't play with knives (or one handed weapons most of time) because game always seems to lag at least a little bit for me. And I honestly thought I have decent internet doing combos is really hard with fast weapons for me. And I prefer Vanguards so it's no biggie

My trollish attitude probably makes people understand but...
As I am the only WotR player in HC I take amusement in belittling Chivalry and promoting WotR. My real opinion of Chivalry is not negative and as I have played both I can compare them somewhat fairly when I feel like it (shameless propaganda is more fun). It pisses me off though with all the WotR vs Chiv threads in the WotR steam forum and I am sure that the Chiv steam forum got its share. It would be cool if Chivalry got cavalry but you know what... WotR got horse archery and handcannons planned for the future.

Edit: Just realized something... Jensen is a danish name!!! TREYTOOORE

I think Chivalry is the only one of these kind of games (wich would be the Mount and Blade Series, War of the Roses and Chivalry i think) without character customisation which is quite a shame

@ Asheron On Steam i think you should find me under the name Tarnum (same avatar pic as here)
Yeah, Vanguards is also my favorite class.

EDIT How does Criken make third person view? I thought there is only first person?

I can't play Chivalry without third person, first person is far too restrictive (enemies get out of my sight easily), I changed the command for it to be 5, I believe P is default command, look under options to be sure. Some servers force first person, which I avoid like a sir

Just saw short WotR gameplay video, looks interesting, but as I already own original Chivalry and can't spare money on this one, so...
