Chivalry 2 – A New Game With Awesome Gameplay
Although other first-person swordfighting games like Kingdom Come Deliverance and Mordhau have tried to market themselves on the realisticity of their hitboxes, or the high skill ceilings of the combat systems, Chivalry Medieval Warfare is more arcadey. Its sequel Chivalry2 is an extension of this tradition. I believe it offers a better multiplayer experience due to that philosophy. While there are still many skills involved, it is easier to just jump in and get some absolutely gory kills than feeling like you are surrounded by wolves. This is how you build and sustain a strong community.
Chivalry 2 allows you to take your place on stylish and saturated battlefields with up 64 players. You can choose from objective-based teams or a huge free-for all. While there aren’t many maps, I was quite impressed with the ones that we do have. Each map offers a variety of objectives, including defending and attacking, as well as interesting terrain and architecture. There is also a great mix of bottlenecks and open areas. You could be pushing massive siege towers against a wall and having ballista bullets fly at you from high above. Or you might be trying your best to grab as much gold from a village so you can return it to your cart before the time runs out.
Yes, there are some unbalanced objectives at the moment. In fact, Falmire’s bridge has only been taken by attackers once out of the many times I’ve seen it. The ramp to Lionspire is also quite sticky. However, it is possible to make the ramp more user-friendly with just a few tweaks. This might help a little once everyone has a bit more experience with the objectives.Read more: Chivalry 2 – A New Game With Awesome Gameplay
