What are objectives?

Its what you aim the catapult at no matter what


I do think some people are too quick to say that their team isn't going after the objective. Like, take a look at the kill score first before saying that, sometimes your team is just getting murdered

Does the shield-banging with the warcry button only happen in certain views or with certain classes? I tried with the MAA and skirmisher and couldn't make it work, both first-person.

Never actually tried in first person, but you do have to be standing still when you press the battle cry key

Oh. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was still available last night. I am so much better with spears that it's not even funny. They have completely broken my ability to use any other weapon. Even the two-hander is strong. Guess I'm going back to TKing people with medic packs.

Just stab people with another stabby weapon like the long/short/sword. They're easier to use when fighting off groups too imo since the swings don't stop on hit

I've never played any of these types of games - should I just buy Chivalry 2 if I want to give one a whirl?

If the gameplay clips/vids look fun to you then just go for it. Play the tutorial first before hopping in to a match though.

I just did a quick count of every server with a popular of more than 1.

318 people are playing right now, with a single 64 server full and the second 64 server at 53 people.

How are you seeing the matchmaking servers? Those don't show up on the server browser right?

Played for a little bit. The new map objective map Galencourt is fun, though of course people were complaining that it wasn't balanced, haven't played it enough to really say if thats true or not.

The new female agatha voice has an awful battle cry which is unfortunate. The Mason female voice is okay.

I mean if the argument is that it is inferior to the chiv1 battlecry button I can see that.

"But I just can’t stop thinking of how much I hate the battlecry button in Chivalry 2. The fun was slowly being sucked away due to this one feature to a point that it felt better to play the game without my headset on. You can’t spam the battlecry button, but with so many players it doesn’t matter as it sounds like a never-ending stream of unnecessary screaming."

I think it will be tough to keep people playing when they pick the game up on Steam and are instantly obliterated by die-hard players.

I think it'll be fine with 64 player servers. My friend tried out the free weekend and did ok. I get crushed by the level 200+ people too but I don't really mind since there aren't that many of them

Early impression - I feel like cavalry might spawn too often in wardenglade. Seems maybe ok in the TO maps.
No one seems to play engineer despite the change.
The TO maps are pretty fun. Might need balancing, but its hard to tell since teams tend to be so unbalanced now in a lot of games
The two handed spear is great against cav lol. That spear brace owns any charging cav that isn't supported by infantry
Spawning as cav is kinda rear end. You have to be so quick to hit k to accept the spawn, otherwise the slots just fill up

The defend the wall TO map is great. You actually have a map where the defenses (trebs/giant xbows/ROCKPILES) are actually placed in areas that you can use to bash people. So many rock piles on other defend the walls map suck because you dont have a clear shot to throw boulders on people's heads

I think the attackers need an extra minute or so with the Destroy siege equipment objective, maybe another 30 seconds with the town hall (or spawn slightly closer). Both of those are pretty difficult on attack.

Same with the first lighthouse objective on the other map. Needs a little bit more time for the attackers. If the defenders use engineers that first objective is hell

Having so much fun with this game I decided to buy it on Steam as well. Although I will say that I'm not a huge fan of the new maps and horses. Just a little too chaotic / janky. Been fun playing with friends, though. There's not room for a huge amount of coordination, but it's funny as hell watching your buddies die in hilarious fashion.

I can't stop using the 2 handed spear against cav lol. I'm not quite sure if it outreaches the lance, even if you time the poke right. Its close though.

I'm really enjoying the engineer on defense, I always loved the class, but you needed a few to mass barriers. The new buffs are insanely strong on some points with just one but they should give the class something like a reverse banner point system with the barriers, where more enemies in proximity you're holding back = more points. Or at least give the engineer some points for the enemy having to attack the barrier, I dunno. You spend all game running back and forth to the ammo chests refreshing barriers and throwing lovely 50 point bandage boxes.


Barriers on the dock is the only way I've seen Mason win the last part of falmire now after they changed it to favor Agatha.

Chiv2 is fun, however, I'm struggling to find the combat rythm, feints and such doesnt seem to have the same weight as mordhau when people can block for so long. I feel that every fight devolves into hitting>dodging>hitting>block rince and repeat.

If you're fighting a team with a lot of knights it can be troublesome due to the low damage. At 30 damage it takes 6 hits to down a knight.

Doesn't the stab do 50? I mean, I do mix in slaps when I use it but I still mostly stab

I just bought Chivalry 2 and am still doing stupid stuff like hitting my teammates because I try to cancel attacks with right click, and half my thrusts and chops turn into the normal slash. Which is the simplest/gentlest class to start out as? Right now I've still been playing the one it made me as default when I first started the game, which is the halberd guy.

Is right click not Block for you? I cancel attacks with block all the time, though of course theres a point of no return on the swing.

The longsword on the knight is still a great weapon imo, and its the very first option plus you get the extra knight health. I do think almost all of the weapons are at least usable. Might just be up to you whether you like something thats fast or slow and heavy
