it's good to see some guys playing the AoC mod.. especially some Foreign Legion division members..
so far im loving it...
it gets really exciting when you're defending a castle while the other team is pounding the door down with a battering ram !bang
 
Yes me also, but the last game had sooooooo many archers that we couldn't beat our enemys cause our archers are always getting killed, so I had to switch to knight...
 
You don't really need a "Good" computer to run it.. You only need Half-Life 2, and if your getting lag, turn your Graphics down. I like this game so far, man they really updated it, from when it was first released.
 
This game is pretty bad to be honest. Its got a horrible combat system, and is pretty boring.
 
Wow i was pwning that game with my sword

lmao

i made it all the way into there base and was like this is mine! then i got pwned by getting my head cut off lol
 
The melee combat is horribly broken. I spent the better part of an hour trying to find a consistent pattern of collision detection (I'm a computer science nerd, yes). I couldn't find one. It was random and glitchly. If this was cleaned up and the combat overhauled this would be the best multiplayer game out there period. Anyone ever play stronghold? It's like being a little person. The helm's deep map was just full of win!
 
If it's that horrible I'm going to go ahead and cancel my download of it then. :/
 
Great game, very fun and almost all maps are objective based, which increases the amount of teamwork needed... Continue your download GCrusader!
 
I spent all of Sunday afternoon playing this on and off, completely loved it.

I don't know if you will detect a specific hit collision system. Basically you get near the guy and it has to do with angle, facing, timing and blocking if you're doing that. If you angle right you lop their head off.

Other things take some getting used to (I do great with the flameberge, ok with the halberd, but the other weapons will take some learning!)

I highly recommend it.
 
Personally I play as a footman with a halberd most of the time, sure I dont get any firebombs or a shield, but I do get your plain old sword for hit and runs in addition to a halberd for taking on large groups and knights! Some of the battles are epic, one time on helms deep while the masons were battering the gate down I leaped from that little side door area on to their platform and slaughtered all of them!
 
I must admit that colision detection with weapons is a bit wonky, added to that is they have the weapons swing way to slowly. Being one who has used a broadsword with historical re-enactment I can tell you that they aren't as heavy as people make them out to be, on average 2-3 pounds for a one handed arming sword, 5-6 pounds for a hand and a half sword, and 8 pounds for a German Zweihander.

The other thing I noticed is that aiming as an archer is quite difficult to do as you have to guess where your arrow landed.
 
I play it a little, my friend is with Team Chivalry so he got me into it. The only thing I cannot grasp on to is how to use the Bow and Arrow accurately. If anyone can help me out with that, I'm all up for playing with some of you.
 
aim where the tip of the arrow is pointing and adjust vertically based on the distance to your target. Do the same with the crossbow, but aim with the little stick on the side. Crossbow seems to have less arc to it.
 
The only bad thing is that game laggs way to much and i get like 15 fps on it. On Cs:S i get like 80 fps and on DoD i get 35 fps.
