Chivalry goes full TF2
I wouldn't mind cutting off a guys head if he was wearing a silly hat
[QUOTE=avincent;41842697]Chivalry goes full TF2[/QUOTE] Yep. Every game with customization is now TF2. Gud jarb.
[QUOTE=avincent;41842697]Chivalry goes full TF2[/QUOTE] this doesn't mean it's like tf2. and you say that like it's a bad thing...
those colors [I]gross[/I]
I like the new customization but they horribly HORRIBLY broke the combat.
Fun Fact!!: I used to play the mod, then I bought this, and now I can't play because using my mouse wheel, or even touching it, opens the console for some reason. :(
1.2 million people out there playing it, and I keep bumping into the same dozen or so players as I did when I started playing.
[QUOTE=The golden;41848477]I'm willing to bet that at least 3/4 of the buyers have never even installed it [/QUOTE] Bit of an exaggeration, don't you think?

Probably a stupid question, but if it's somehow managed to bind the scroll wheel to opening the console, that should stop it. I expect you've already tried this though.

Meet The Pyro, and that's when I realized where the game's direction had went; for the kids.

The color customization gets confusing as hell during team-based rounds though, since anyone who isn't red or blue is going to leave me confused for a second or so.
Yeah I played a couple team games with a friend and it was weird as fuck to get used to. Now it's "The enemy are white/blue/yellow" or "Red/Black/Green" or some funky shit like that.

Look, that huge russian man is now a pile of liver and lungs, little Timmy here is just jumping to play this kid friendly adventure!!

Did you even see the trailer's dark moments contrasting all that? If you're going to say 'fuck, customization, they're turning it into TF2', then at least have some bloody basis to the statement that doesn't come off with such a noncaring lack of research into the subject to begin with.
I've been getting terrible latency with Chivalry lately. It wasn't always this bad either.
The first guy with the black and purple checkerboard. That reminds me of missing textures in Source.

Spy was fine although longer than the older ones, but Medic and Pyro, they were even related to new weapon-item-sets more obviously than any other meet the video. But anyway, forget the meet-videos, you are still saying tf2 actually looks good with all the added items in it, aren't you? because i couldn't disagree more. i'm all for customization, but when it's driven to ruin the image of the game over quite a long time, i just don't see the point in even playing it anymore. (haven't played since meet the pyro, but played since the beta so I know all the TF2's stages)
Personally, I loved the uniformity of Chivalry. Nothing like 20 soldiers who look the same charging towards another army, it made it look much more realistic. Having people coloured pink, green and rainbow will just look silly, and surely it'd make it hard to distinguish teams, right?
[QUOTE=avincent;41842697]Chivalry goes full TF2[/QUOTE] And even if it went, it wouldn't be as crazy as TF2 is. It's impossible to be that crazy. Goddamn I'm tired of people saying TF2 when someone points out character customization.
