You have 10 seconds to explain why genuine mass formation warfare with real players instead of bots doesn't make your dick hard.
Because it's usually full of try hard shits or just plain useless shits who ruin fun because they don't understand the concept

i'm not playing that laggy piece of shit you and I both fucking KNOW that's not going to play well
>>330815602
Play napoleonic
It runs pretty well
>>330815341
I don't know about native but in NW theres a public RP server that works pretty well. Not too try hard MLG Regiment but people still follow their officers and form lines when told.
The lack of voice chat really hurts organization though, a NW2 needs it even if only for officers.
because people are shit

Just imagine the clans that work together and drill like a real military unit.
I wonder if that's what was actually happening with all those napoleonic wars regiments. I never did get into those.
But yeah I have high hopes for this game in the multiplayer aspect. Those warband native 'line' battles look insanely cool.
>>330816809
My dream is for the technology to get to the point where you can have a multiplayer game with the scale of a 1v1 Total War battle. It can never approach real life scale of course, but TW seen from the ground level is a close enough approximation. We're approaching that already with the bots, even Napoleonic Wars allowed up to 900 bots in custom games.
I mean you'd probably have to organize it like an event, where lots and lots of regiments organize into two massive teams for a one night game, but still. Would be pretty mindblowing.

It's cause people are fucking retarded and won't use formations.

>>330815161
I hope they get a more competent modding group if they make another Napoleonic Wars.
>>330815789
Yes, give them an incentive to follow orders though, and they'll fall in line generally. MAG actually did a surprisingly competent job of it.
>>330815602
Games have done bigger before. And those eastern europeans are crazy geniuses.
I played Battlegrounds 2 (half life 2 mod) and scratched this itch around 10 years ago. It wasn't as much fun as you'd think because you're basically just praying that you don't get shot and that you hit anyone.
It's just not exciting.
>>330815161
Because working together with strangers online has never ever worked. Ever.
>>330818421
what went wrong? I remember checking it out at a friends house and finding it pretty fun? Kinda twitchy and dumb, but the player count made it really engaging.
>>330819143
Just like Red Orchestra?
>>330815161
>>Napoleonic Wars 2 will probably have 300v300 or maybe even 400v400
Are you retarded?
The NW team is doing their own shit now
>>330818421
MAG was fine from a technical standpoint. It just felt shitty to play.
>>330819268
Bitch, learn how to play red orchestra. I'd rather not have teammates whose strategy is just "hope I don't get shot"
>>330815161
>>>Native confirmed to have 200v200 multiplayer
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
>>330819392
"Hope I don't get shot" is better if immersion or roleplay is your thing. No group of players ever made a genuine retreat when they knew they would just respawn.
But retreats happen all the time in Napoleonic Wars when things look bad, almost like in real life. This also makes last stands a bit more special, instead of just the standard thing people do.
>>330819369
Weren't the players split on multiple maps or am I misinformed?
>>330820765
I think the maps were segmented, yeah, like you could see the other squads but not join them or something? Or maybe they were like forked paths, where eventually you met up with the other squads after pressing far enough into enemy territory?
>>330820942
This. It started as 50v50 then closed in to 200v200 near the end

It was 8 CoD matches going on at once.
If you were doing good in your CoD match, and some other CoD match on your team wasn't, you lost.
>>330823397
So, a battle?
>>330824351
Well shit, I never saw it that way.
The big problem with it though is how isolated those CoD matches are. You don't have 100 people guarding one big tower, you have 20 people guarding one of five towers.
If the enemy force had to take all five of those towers to win it would be really cool, but only losing one makes you lose.
>>330825738
That's whats cool about Napoleonic Wars. If you're on, for example the Waterloo map, the teams usually fight over 2 or 3 of the fortified farmhouses, although its all just one giant map. So while you're taking the white farm for example, the whole time you're fighting you can see in the distance the rest of your team fighting at the red fort.
If they get destroyed, then you'll have to defend white fort while being outnumbered by the enemy team. It puts you at a disadvantage because of someone elses failure, but it feels so natural that you dont care. The forts arent even objectives, you dont get points or anything like that for taking them, players just naturally gravitate toward them because theyre defensible.
But this applies to all aspects of the battle, a bad general might get your cavalry wiped out and you have to make due with no horsemen support all while being charged or harassed by enemy cavalry. A bad officer commanding a large regiment might take too long to flank when you desperately need reinforcements. etc etc. But mistakes like that happened in real life, and only adds to the immersion.
>>330826843
I feel you man. Nothing feels better than charging those fuckin frenchies.
