250 Player Napoleonic Warfare DLC. This is PC gaming at it's finest.

But they couldnt fix the way that the drummers hold their sticks? This seriously looks like they just took the free mod and sold it.

Good God! I can see every battle turning into a mess really quickly. I might have to try this.

Don't you mention WWII Online to me.

$#*$^#@$^@ #*^O*$#^@*#$^ (@#$O*@# ...is what I have to say to that game.

This is the perfect exmaple of butthurt.

This sounds amazing! Not exactly my cup of tea, but nonetheless it's impressive!

M&B series is so good and this looks great. That is so much content for $10, and yet people will still buy 4-5 small maps for CoD at $15 a pop.

I really don't get the appeal of Mount and Blade but a multiplayer version of it seems much better, might pick this up, could be good fun.bobbetybob

I also shrugged thinking that it's not my style wen i heard about the beta of the original version (M&B 0.6XX). Mearly a few months ago upon saying "f*ck it" due to the lack of RPGs to play, i installed Warband (the updated, best version) and became hooked.

It's such a incredible experience, beyond my wildest expectations. Starting as a worthless bum, and eventually becoming the absolute king of all the lands and trough many ways achieveble. Ofcourse i had a mod installed since the game, there are so many quality ones. It's basically the perfect sand-box RPG.

I saw that appeal in it when I was playing it, I'm probably just too impatient to work my way up, I don't find the small battles that much fun, I usually just end up going round the enemies in circles on my horse slowly picking them off. I could see the role playing in this being pretty fun though, actually marching into battle and taking on a role sounds awesome if it actually works like thatbobbetybob

I didn't like the vanilla game, it felt bare bones, and i really didn't like the soundtrack. I probably would have had the same view on the game as you do now.

I had The Prophesy of Pendor module installed which, i think is the best 'DLC' , expansion, or whatever people may call it, for this game. It's a complete overhaul of the game(completely new map, items, enemies, kingdoms, etc.) besides adding countless features that make Mount & Blade complete - like random events, special goals to achieve, a dynamic conversation system for party members, etc.

Hell, in the context of random events, a God can appear and give you unattainable stuff.

If that's the best I'd hate to see the worse.

Ignorance.

Ignoring everything I said. Don't worry, a lot of ignorant fanboys on this forum.

Obviously large scale battles on multiple fronts... maybe go look at a video.

Some wishy-washy crap about seeing games as creative platforms rather than products.

After looking at the rather boring youtube video I'd rather have products.

[QUOTE="lawlessx"]wish game like this worked well on consoles..console only gamers need to see what this game is all about.ZombieKiller7

What's special about it.

1. Hmm, high lethality in combat+no healing
2. Large Scale (I have had battles with over 1 thousand duking it out at the same time)
3. Commanding and fighting
4. The Archery
5. Combat
6. The Sandbox elements (politics
7. Levelling up and scaling, you wont do 9999 damage at any level.
8. The amazing mod support

That recent M&B patch that compliments the new DLC probably broke all the existing mods for it. :P. I would know, learnt the hard way with not stopping the auto updates for M&B on steam. If this was meant to be a mod, I am not sure how I feel about the idea of taking what was supposed to be a mod, into monetized content. It seems like a double edged sword. If I those instruments had an offensive kinetic use to them, I'd buy the DLC in a whim.illmatic87

LOL!

Braining someone over the head with bagpipes... would be fun.

[QUOTE="NamelessPlayer"]Don't forget WWII Online! Though PlanetSide is the more ironic example since it's a Sony product (SOE, anyway), and NOT on consoles at all, not even a spinoff.Wasdie

Wait didnt mag have 256 player battles oh yeah thats right it did, nothing to see here folks.

more players in one map just generates more chaos and less skill in terms of a shooter.

I came to this realization when you started to compare TF2 servers with 24 max players vs 32 max players.

Never been interested in the Total War games, but good news for them I guess.

My bad I should've read what he was saying.

Ahhh! The pretentiousness in this topic! It burns!

It's a little more than some extra armor for our horses.

• Accurate early 19th century weapons, uniforms and environments.
• Massive multiplayer battles with up to 250 players. (specially patched in for this DLC)
• Five nations with more than 220 unique units to choose from. (there aren't even 220 units in Mount and Blade Warband)
• A wide range of artillery pieces ranging from field cannons to mortars, capable of firing cannonballs, canister or explosive shells, all fully controllable by players.
• Destructible environments. Players can use a range of artillery and explosives to destroy various buildings, bridges and other structures.
• Finely crafted game balance insuring player skill is the hero of the battlefield, not the gun or the sword.
• Construct barricades, dig trenches, and rig explosives with the multi-purpose Engineer class.
• Special musician units with drums, fifes, bagpipes or trumpets; able to play historically accurate tunes. All recorded and played by award winning musicians. (What other game lets you play a bagpipe in the middle of a massive battle? None. That's how many.)
• More than 40 classical background music tracks.

I don't see horse armor in that list:cry:

So apparently this game out a couple days ago! I had no idea. Is it any good?

MyopicCanadian

It's DLC for a game that's already been out for awhile. So in other words you can get it dirt cheap and make it awesome sauce with just a little bit more money.

I've yet to play M&B. i need to download it soon now that i have a PC capable of most modern games :)

This is such an awesome idea.

Althought, having all the players being line-up perfectly like in the wars of that time, I can't imagine teamwork and coordination of this magnitude.
I just have to see it to trully believe it.
