I tell everyone I know that is a gamer to give it a chance... Most just see the graphics and never try it... They'll never know what they are missing.

I played the demo of the original, thought it was a neat idea but this was a while ago (I think when it was sorta free, wasnt it?).

Has it changed much? The concept really appeals to me (almost seems like medieval ArmA II or something lol)

The combat is dope I must say. Nothing like it. I feel like William Wallace chopping dudes heads off in the middle of a 300 person battle:D

It looks too similar to the firt one for me to buy it anytime soon, but the 1st was brilliant, not just for the core game but the mods keep reviving it, im going through a Starwars Mod for it at the moment.

just bought it the other day and loving it. never played the original. Combat is great fun but the missions are boring so I'm going down the conquer all path which is very challenging. My army kicks ass! My only gribes are the fact my character is a complete wuss really and struggles unless on horse back. When seiging a castle he got knock unconcious when there was only about 10 enemy left to my 70 and the game made us retreat because of it...annoying! Another is how lame the archers are.. I don't think they're powerful enough. I lined up 200 archers on top of a hill against 200 infantry (instant battle) who had to try charge them from miles away and only about 20 men died before they got to the top of the hill. They should have better AI where they fire all together and at different projections. I think being able to have your other heroes have their own armies and you control them would be a massive leap forward.

I own the original, I'll wait till this one is on sale to try it out. Too many games on backlog that I have to get through before Red Dead Redemption comes out next month.

Yeah I played the free tiral/demo back when it had a cap at level 10 or somthing. Last time I tried it it had changed so much my computer (at the time) lagged like hell when the original demo ran smooth. No idea what it's like now but if it's kept the core gameplay it should be pretty fun.

I remember there was a pretty cool LotR mod, but that ended up wrecking my game. :/

The original M&B was always a game I have kept an eye on mainly du to its freeform and open world gameplay. Tried the demo once I despite not getting instantly hooked I am still convinced that I really might like this game.

Btw, do all the mods which were developed for the original M&B still work with Warband (like the Star Wars Mod, 1257, Sword of Damocles etc)?

1257 is already converted to WB, and yeah, more and more mods are being added all the time. It will take some time for some of the larger mods to make it over though...

can you add mods to existing game saves or will you have to restart a whole game?

Felt the urge and decided to pull the trigger on this one. I've been waiting too long to play the multiplayer! I just wish that it was easier to distinguish who's on whose team...

It's a great game yes, it was a giant surprise for me at first and i'm gonna keep an eye on their future titles for sure. For $30 you cannot go wrong with this game.

As fun as it is, there seems to be so much possibilities for this type of gameplay it's not funny. I would like to see deeper mechanics and customization outside battles. Maybe more differences in the political aspect of the game, customization of troops from within the game would be very nice when you start your own nation.

The new version "Warband" does not have many mods yet. I would say the single player in the old one is better for now because of all the mods you can get for it. What makes Warband sogood is the multiplayer.

I don't even bother with the single player anymore. The multiplayer is by far the best part of that game. There is also nothing out there that is like it. Sieging a castle while other players rain down arrows. Galloping past other players and knocking them off their horse. There just isn't any other game out there that comes close to it.

I've bought 2 copies of the first one, and while it is indeed awesome, the multiplayer alone isn't $30 awesome. Once the price drops a bit I'll get it for sure.

You say this without ever playing it. It is definitely worth the $30. I would go as far as saying if the only thing they had in Warband was multiplayer I would still buy it a heart beat. I have yet to even touch the single player in Warband and I was playing since beta.

I played so much of the beta on my old PC, I was bored of the game when it came out... But it was a marvelous experience.

Yep! I experienced this revelation not too long ago as well.... very solid. Games built for just the PC from the ground up are always awesome.

I got it off Steam last week. Really cool game. I'd love to see a Roman/Greek warfare mod for it.

Yeah dropped a good 60 hours on it so far it is awesome indeed and its visuals arent too bad it has HDR and considering the scale of the game I think it looks neat for what it is--SP map looks rubbish however, only got the smallgameplay tweak mods. There is just so much to the games SP and the MP is just plain fun.
