  • worst trailer for a very good game

  • The best Medieval game for all time

  • huih

  • Is it just me or are the graphics better in Warband? I was just looking at some of the shine on the armour. Looks loads better! Might have to invest here methinks.

  • @themusicchap Watch my videos please D:

  • @MistrzKubica Haha, true :)

  • I FUCKING WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • best game I ever played:)

  • Still haven't beaten the game yet.

    There's just so many choices to make...and I love playing slowly :D

  • mount and blade is the shit !

    best game ive played in 2 years, seriously it beats the gameplay of high budget games, not to mention all the systems, this game is a must buy, i first downloaded pirate bersion coz i dont buy games normally, but i will buy original when i find it... you just gota support people who work on great games like this

  • Luvs Da Game :D

  • =D  XD =P

  • Game? game? This is so well done it feels like reality! ;D thumbs up if you agree!

  • I love Mount & Blade,but in Warband I can't see the mouse pointer. Any ideas?

  • @lewiqe buy the game dont get pirated version u cheap skate dont say u buyed it because that only happens on pirated versions

  • this game looks awsome

  • @sm0keshell is indeed (3rd playthrough) =D, too bad theres no real story line, but still theres the heroes quests etc i hope they mod this a bit, coz system is really great

  • @FireBIaze the mods are also great!

  • this is why internet was greated thumps up if you agree!!!

  • One message if you own this game : Don't forget your homeworks ! ... because this game is so GREAT !

  • This is one of the best medieval games ever.  Highly recommend playing, though definitely not a game for newbie gamers.

  • should have nine billion online players and 8million botts in the same room,

    just make the characters boxes so there is no lag.

    lol

  • hate the new way you can hit, prefer the old one since it's much easier to get a swing stance and not miss...

  • Warband multiplayer beta is now open to everyone with a Mount&Blade CD key! Get in and have some fun in the multiplayer =)

  • I've been waiting 30 years for a authentic European medieval period game that doesn't have: Magic, Dragons, ghosts, Orcs, Elves, Demons, or any of that other crap. Honestly, why has it taken so long??

    It took an independent game developer to finally hear the voice of thousands of gamers about what we wanted and a lot of courage. So, to all the haters who said you HAVE TO have magic in these games, hope you enjoy eating your words.

    Keep supporting this game guys and lets break down some walls.

  • That is exactly how I've always felt! :D

  • @DaniteLDS Exaclty! tho I haven't waited 30 years.

  • Word.

  • @DaniteLDS

    thats why this game is so epic. There is no magic, there is no orcs and goblins, its all human warfare !!

  • @DaniteLDS Ever tried Age of Chivalry? I think you'd like it

  • @DaniteLDS do you know of a mod or other game thats an actual map of something real and works right. Anything will do, europe, asia, even america.

  • @GunLover123 You could do the Warband 1257 AD mod.

  • @DaniteLDS

    So medieval 2 total war is a game where you kill dragons and leprechauns?

    And for the record,I totally love mound and blade.I am playing it for a week now,and I am still obsessed with it.

  • Haha that hammer reminded me of the Thorgrim dude from "Conan the Barbarian".

  • battle size 64? too small, should be 500

  • 500 players on one battlefield would give players some serious lag even on high end machines. I think that's why the graphics aren't that good to begin with so more ppl can handle the large scale battles with lower spec gaming PC's.

  • when the warband will be released? sorry for bad english..

  • @darkkismies In the beginnin of April

  • can you ride boats in warband? i saw a gameplay picture of troops in a boat.

  • i hope you can play with mods like the star wars mod which is awesome as all hell and good, too.

  • which version is this?

  • This game would be even more interesting with gore but still looks pretty okay.

  • I like the game but I hope they fixed the cow missions.

    I can't wrangle the bloody things to save my life, so joining a faction isn't fun.

  • Hopefully the single player won't be so tedious and humdrum this time round... There was a serious lack in variety of quests. The ONLY thing going for it is the combat which is satisfying enough, but that's it.

    Vanilla Mount and Blade bores me to tears and is just plain aimless. They really need to put some effort in giving you things to actually do with their fancy mounted combat system. Or maybe stop centring the entire game on mounted combat as it's the only thing you really do...

  • Paradox is a good corporation, in their next game they should add more variety to the battles, make them more epic, etc. If technology is good enough to support 1000 players in one massive battle without lag then I look forward to it.

  • @MadPutz That might be something of a far flung expectation...

  • Coming soon? How SOON??

  • next month.

  • March? Coming to where? Europe? World release? Do you have any link with more information?

  • search google for "Warband Release Date"

    "Mount & Blade: Warband on PC has a confirmed release date on Friday 19 March 2010."

    at least US, but I think you will be able to purchase a license key online?

  • I live in the US so that's great news for me! Thanks a lot!

  • um one question it is for 1011?

  • please tell me they are doing more than a multiplayer expansion. like fore example makeing the campaign better. a little patch like maybe more than 5 quest to do. does anyone here know if they are doing more than multiplayer? as much as i hate relying on mods i just might have to.

  • yes, they said they will make it where you can make your own kingdom get your own lords more customization for towns and a whole lot more

  • @Wll10441 Agreed... they really need to give you something to actually do.

    It does say that it has an "extensive single player campaign", but that could just mean you have an even bigger map to do bugger all in.

  • @PersonalPariah it will be a bigger map because of the new faction, but hopefully they have learned from their mistakes and take into conisderation that people like variety.

  • @Wll10441 I certainly hope so... they could give as an endless plane to walk on, it means nothing if there's little or nothing to do on it. :P

  • I so can't wait..I put more time into M&B than Any game I have got in the last 2 years.(I buy a LOT of games)

    This game has Some AWSOME Mods!

  • where i can download this mod?

  • this is not a mod its an expansion

  • I loved the original mount and blade. all the awesome mods there was to download. and all the neat features! but the lack of a multi-player always bothered me for a reason. now that feature is added! this is something i will buy! :D

  • Wow. I bought this game years ago for £5 when it was still in beta. Good game i totally forgot.

    Glad to see it has come far. Gonna have to find that purchase code and download it again.

  • I had never heard of this game, and just downloaded the demo out of boredom.

    And wound up becomming addicted to it o.O

  • expantion, but the main reason to make this expantiion it was to improve graphics and create a multiplayer mode

  • Is it an expansion or a stand alone game?

    cause the graphics usually doesn't change when you install an expansion.

  • is this a mount and blade 2? or expansion.

    any word on console?

    is it going to even be on console?

  • Hey! for all mount and blade lovers out there, try and play sid meiers pirates you wont regret it! it can defianately shorten the time until the release of warbands.

  • this is a pretty old game tho :P and not any mods for it i think

  • na theres a remake from 2004 released by atari, it features nice graphics and new gameplay features. no mods tho :|

    but its one of my favorite games, richt after mount and blade of course ;)

  • ah right, think i've played that one too

  • you know m&b was inpsired by it, so its definately worth checkin out for all m&b lovers. sadly there arent any more free-roaming-sandbox games like those two :(

    too many story crap in games these days....

  • Mount&Blade is one of the best games I ever played I really want this expansion bad! :)

  • When will warband be  released?

  • 'Revamped Combat System'

    I just had an awesomegasm.

    And now throwing axes are more useful, yay!

  • awesome!

    I can't wait for this expansion.

    Mount and Blade is the best indie game I've ever played and Warband is going to make it even better.

  • This is so cool.. love Mount and blade. hope tale worlds/Paradox Interactive will make many new expansions for this game..

  • What is considered a high lvl?what lvl r u guys? I'm currently 43 and rising.

  • I am level 67.

  • 43 is quite high, i think the highest level is lvl 67 or 66. im a lvl 46

  • One of the greatest upcoming games !

  • Wen is it coming out and how much would it cost?

  • Who cares about garphics? The gameplays excellent and there's a mod that enhances textures and adds HDR that makes the game look fine

  • noob ;) the graphics are lovely for a small software house and the game is just unique, go play halo 3

  • Wow, you fail, these graphics are awsome for a low budget game, and the play style is simple but REALISTIC, funny how you rate a game based on a simple video like this, if you havent played the game, dont make stupid comments.

  • my favorite game of 2009, finally I can play this on lan, this game got such a nice atmosphere, btw check out the mount and blade repository for some really awesome mods

  • if you bought the first one you can access the warband beta for free, if you've pirated the first one fuck off ;)

  • i bought the serial key, why all those negative signs :)) where can we get the new beta??

  • Check the official forums for the game. (It's on the Taleworlds site)

  • its the same...i think they give your ip a key...my friend tryed to download it without a invitation email and after install, the game wanted a serial key

  • nope you need a serial key of the first Mount & Blade, the single player one

  • yeah i have a m&b warband beta key :)

  • i love this game

  • Played over 200 hours of M&B (my xfire profile) plus the hours when xfire was off plus i can still play it :) U never get bored of mods and the original

  • hey i have xfire too and i beat you i have allmost 400 hours muhahahahahahahahahaha

  • You mothervucker add me MasacruForGroove :D:D:D

  • Fucking epic game... Loved the orginal and mods make it endless fun! Can't wait!

  • Most awesome. I'm a diehard fan of M&B battle mechanics and hope the new expansion has other improvements over the political system and interactions with the settlements, towns, and castles.

  • Looks very awesome.

    M&B is one of those hidden jewels which I was very happy to have discovered.

  • the best game!

  • niiice

  • Man, much improvements! like "real" ragdolls! the boddies before were like half ragdolls. im really looking forward to this game, i hope it would be harder though. defeating a army of 100 soldiers are possible in the original game. =P

  • Comment removed

  • played mnb scince beta v.600ish. It's a great game and it's wonderful to see it get this far

  • Sweet, now you can us throwing axes as a throwing weapon or a melee weapon, that's what i like. BTW the battle seems pretty big, better than the one right now, only 20 ppl from each side can join!

  • You need to download the 'Mount and Blade Battle sizer'.  I've fought with 750 at one time.

  • well i don't like to modify the game, i like to play it originally!

    Thnx for the info anyway.

  • You dont modify it u get diffent versions when you open the game tab lol

  • Actually the Battle sizer doesn't 'mod' the game, it just allows you to change the 'battle size limit' to a higher number if you so prefer. Lower numbers make the game easier, and allow you to be a huge factor in large battles. Bigger numbers will give a more large scale atmosphere, but also make your skills less emphasized in the grand scheme of things.

    With the battle sizer you can do the same you can ingame, only now you have a higher limit if you prefer. (Compared to 80 or whatever.)

  • Now we will be able to slice each other! SWEEEEET!!!

    And what will be the next big update? M&B mmorpg?

  • Comment removed

  • I only have one issue with this game (the original, not the expansion) :

    There is no story. I don't need a FF storyline, just more personality for the different factions. If you took away the clothes, you could not tell them apart. I think they need to add background to the characters more, kind of like the companions, only more. I don't think it would be hard and would give the player the feeling that what he is doing is actually affecting the game world.

  • that's the idea of the game! there's not supposed to be an evil realm. it's supposed to be warring factions. there are different races beneath the clothes, but the whole point is that they're really just separated in their combat style. one of the companions says as much in game.

  • I bought M&B while it was still in beta, version .903 to be precise, and have played it many times since. The graphics may not be flashy, but they don't have to be, the gameplay is what makes this a winner. I'm really looking forward to Warband; new items, improved animations and combat, plus a host of other goodly features will ensure my speedy purchase!

  • Wow it's really awosome!!!

    I want to buy it!

    Really awesome graphics!

    And blade combats!

    Wow!!!!

  • Soon...? :S Want it now!

  • This will be great! It will be a level up for mount and blade!

  • dont get me wrong this looks like a greatgame but these guys make the shitest trailors lol

  • These graphics are good...

  • Um they're running on the same engine, they suck dude. But graphics dont make a game, still theyre not good. Lol.

  • Really? The graphics are good. The graphics are really great and there's amazing gameplay. It's a good game.

  • Dude I was a closed beta tester, theres very SLIGHT improvements over the visuals (All though you got your shaders and HDR) the models are the same. The graphics are low-end (Early days of the xbox/ps2) The devs even said the visuals were amatuerish

    That being said, this game does not need a visual improvement because its not here for eye candy and thats why I love it, they just need smooth animations and ill be happy.

    <3 MnB

  • Well, I think the graphics are great, even if they say that their low end. I like the gameplay and the concept...

  • I agree that it eeds new animations.They've used the same ones for a long time and only upgraded some effects,some models.

  • Yup, but the village battles look more like village battles, eg, the map is a hell of a lot more larger

  • But if u ugrade a village will the map change?

  • Im not sure, hell, I dunno if you even CAN upgrade the village mate, that would be an excellent feature though and yeah, Id be expecting a map change

  • In m&b you could upgrade villages and cities if u control 1 but they stayed the same for instance you could build a manor,watch tower and other stuff but the map stayed the same.

  • I know. But the upgrades were pretty much pointless. I've completed native 5 times o.o

  • Fail. Looks the same.

    I was really hoping for better animations not a better GUI

  • There's plenty of new animations in the video.

  • Even so, they still look outdated, I could care less abou8t the graphics but when it comes to games like this, meh animation should be a strong point.

    Still an amazing game though

  • On the ps3 XD

  • Get a HDR upgrade, it will look so much better.

  • you're an idiot. if you want good graphics, just look out the window. games are about gameplay, shithead!

  • there is a forum for M&B

    TeleWords

    but there must be some password

    well i don't know it

  • Hopefully next will be coop ._.

  • they should make a TV commercial.

  • how to get the expansion?

  • This is a really rare gem of a game in a massive pile of shit that is the video game industry. If your looking for something fun, easy to play, hard to master sort of game then look no further for Mount & Blade has arrived!

  • I like your name, orthanc

  • sos your face

  • no offence meant but its pretty amazing how many obviously challenged people say bad things about the beta, without stopping to think "hey, maybe this beta is actually a beta!"

  • mooseflier what in the hell are you talking about are you even playing the beta? No need to insult us with "low expectations" because right now there is nothing out like this game. You could say Age of Chivalry but that is no comparison. Also online you play with no autoblock and elimination. I guarantee you if you play with us you'll get owned, you won't know how to block or how to use a mount without couching. What is your taleworld name.

  • This game has been requested by the community for multiplayer since it arrived, this is the first attempt at multiplayer, who says there shan't be more expansions later if this one is a success? From the first day I played this game I wanted to be able to play it with my friends, and here comes a part where we can do just that. I'm excited at that fact.

    If you consider it easy and boring, why not up the difficulty from easiest to perhaps normal or download a mod to spice things up?

  • "If you consider it easy and boring, why not up the difficulty from easiest to perhaps normal or download a mod to spice things up?"

    I was reviewing the expansion... not some mod. But thanks

  • Couldn't agree more :) This is the only game I wanted SOOO much, fuck, can't wait man <3

  • Correct! The moment I bought the full version after maxing out the demo I wanted more and more, I spent many hours on the full version then wanted to play with real people, real people to fight, trade with and fight along side of. Alot of people wanted it and now its on its way, This is the first step in the right direction with multi player, I've just got the invite in the closed beta, About to install now ; )

  • This looks awesome so far, really, great job guys. This truely looks like a unique experience nobody else has been able to near match thus far.

    Great job!

  • When is this comin out ?loox freakin awesome!!!

  • I'm amazed by the way this game grew up, i already knew, sinse the begin it could made it to the perfection, now with multi player Mount&Blade will be ready to kick some ass... just gotcha wait a little more... i'm sure it will worth it.

  • hope they make 1 for 360

  • Wow, I wasn't expecting the graphics to be so much more up-to-date. I already like the sound of multiplayer, especially the set up.

  • is this out yet?

  • only the BETA is out

    i found it in the forum

  • wat forum?

  • You feel an obsessive need to comment on everyone's opinion... ya I'm the one with the issues.

    Get over it.

  • Damn right it's my opinion. And that's what I'm posting here... because people come to read those opinions, and post their own. However, no one needs your opinion or comments on other peoples' opinions. Nor did I claim anyone was forcing me to play it. Instead, I'm giving my opinion so that other people know how bad this game really is. You'll just have to accept that and move on.

    Cheers

  • So based on what you said here, no one else opinions matter. You post because you feel that people need to read your opinions?

    Get over yourself, kid.

  • "So based on what you said here, no one else opinions matter"

    That is nowhere implied in my comments; it is however, in your head.

    Knee-jerk reaction much? You fanboys can't take a simple opinion.

    Get

    Over

    It

  • Two things:

    1. I am not a 'fanboy.' I simply like it and play it which is different than preaching it.

    2. Get out of my head, it's dangerous in there.

  • Umm... Mount & Blade will probably never have a solid, storyline. This is mostly a sandbox game where you start fighting, create/help a kingdom and manage it. Singleplayer campaign propably means that you start playing, rise in level, conquer castles and then atlast, take over all of Calradia. Then its just job well done and gameplay gets boring when no one can resist your undefeatable empire.

  • Which is why you play on 127% difficulty and download different mods. Try Expanded Gameplay III, it'll give you a whole new persective.

  • M&B is soooo best<333

    Nice vid.

  • so amazing
