Hopefully we can get a nice group from AOC to play

Mount and Blade was awesome, but I think that was mainly due to the conquest aspect. I just never see that style of combat working in PvP. Hold left-click then swing, and hold right-click to block. it's just not very smooth. Maybe that's just cause Darkfall was so bad though.

i guess it could be fun. might just be a touchy type of combat. and i dont think said combat, alone, can carry a game. it's gotta be complimented by well thought out group pvp scenarios, that video being a pretty cool example. With AOC's old combat, you could just thrust any number of players onto a flat, empty area and they'd still have a blast fighting it out. The same just doesn't seem to be the case for the hold left-click, jousting back and forth style of combat.

Go check out the saber system in MB2(Mod for Jedi Academy). Blocking and swinging CAN work, and nicely, if implemented in a good way.
