Sometime this next weekend, a friend of mine is getting me plus him M&B: Warband (hopefully if things go according to plan). Since he told me that a couple days ago, I have since been watching more M&B: Warband related videos on YouTube and the multiplayer just absolutely looks awesome. While it's not the prettiest game in the universe, it sure is entertaining, but since when is graphics suppose to be the only thing that matters, eh? I mean, I still play the original Operation Flashpoint (renamed to ArmA: Cold War Assault. Yes, I know mentioning games completely unrelated to the topic) game/simulator and that was from 2001! Heck I even have games from the early 90's! .....anyways, I have the original M&B, so I know how roughly the series is played, so it should feel very familiar. I was just sad I didn't have M&B Warband because M&B (original) didn't have multiplayer and you know how fun it is to play with friends.
I have to ask: who here plays M&B Warband? Also, those here who do not have me on Steam, I could post my community page link perhaps sometime tomorrow.
I'm fairly decent with M&B singleplayer in general, but multiplayer, as always when it comes to games, is usually another ballpark all together. Hopefully I can become a veteran on MP in no time! To me, fun with friends (and the community as a whole) is the key, not necessarily 'pwnage'.
Oh, did I mention apparently the M&B series is extremely moddable?
Here's a Wikipedia article about the series:
