I really should've hit Alt-F4 and called it a night when I start getting mad at the concept of archery, but the prospect of going on a spree just kept beckoning to me from beyond the respawn timer. "Oh, sure, why wouldn't you stand 20 yards away from the fight and shoot arrows? You absolute joker." Maybe you'll be poked to death by three guys with spears, or mobbed by shiny armored knights, or, worst of all, shot through the eye with an arrow. In the objective maps, you've got to run for ten seconds or longer to get to the front line after spawning (spamming C to yell "rauuugh" helps pass the time), and when you get there, you might not get a chance to do anything but die.

I got a chance to play the upcoming medieval combat game in a recent alpha test which included both team deathmatch maps and big objective maps.

Catapults tear the earth apart as you lay siege to castles, set fire to villages and slaughter filthy peasants in the return of Team Objective maps.Ī fully featured mounted combat system makes you feel like you are fighting atop a thousand pound beast of war, including the ability to trample your foes, land devastating front or rear horse kicks, unhorse your opponent with a lance and engage in deep melee combat with grounded or mounted opponents.I like Chivalry 2 a lot, but it sure can be infuriating. Players are thrust into the action of every iconic moment of the era - from clashing swords, to storms of flaming arrows, to sprawling castle sieges and more.ĭominate massive, 64-player battlefields. Chivalry 2 is a first person slasher inspired by epic medieval movie battles.
