I skipped Warband, but I spent a ludicrous amount of time playing the original and its mods. The features mentioned in this game seem to be beyond what any mod has been able to achieve to far, so I'm certainly going to give this a go.

I loved M&B and Warband, along with the many mods that there were for each of them. Adding gunpowder to the mix will make things much more interesting. True, mods have been doing this for as long as the game has been out, but with the devs working on it, some small things that mods couldn't work out should be polished, and make it another great stepping stone for better even mods.

Polish troops? Winged Hussars? Can M+B support a 20,000 strong cavalry charge? Can I break the siege of Vienna as Jan III Sobieski? Because that would be awesome...

Sounds good. I guess it was inevitable they make the switch to gunpowder-based weapons, but I know I'll probably still just end up riding around with a big-ass sword.

i'll miss the fantasy setting as well. Oh well, if the gameplay is still as wicked as the past to mount and blades, i'm in.

I loved warband.

I thought Fire and Sword wasn't ever going to go English so this is awesome.

At first i was like oh man they should totally make a US faction, but then i decided that it would be ridiculous for a couple of reasons. first it would pretty much destroy any historical accuracy they would be going for. second if there was a US faction then i would probably just recruit out of that faction and not even bother learning about the other ones, and lastly and probably most importantly its time for me to grow up and stop masturbating at the thought of the us army kicking ass throughout the past present and future.

Holy shit! AWESOME! You can use cannons now for siege? PLEASE TELL ME YOU CAN USE CANNONS!!! I hate having all my troops get bunched up on that damned ladder and I can't get to the top.

I will probably buy this the instant it comes out, since I had such a good time with the original Mount&Blade. Although I was really disappointed with Taleworlds when they wanted 40 euros for Warband, which was at best just a update.

I can't help but think that this 'new game' is not new at all. I have seen a game with the same setting and name in Poland around December 2009. It's still easily available in my country. I'm not sure if it's the same exact game, but still it seems strange... Is TaleWorlds re-releasing the same game, or borrowing the idea from another company or what?

I'm always suspicious about adding firearms to a mostly melee-based game. Like how PVK is ruined.
This is my major objection to all these rumours floating around about Assassin's Creed 3 being set in either of the world wars. Truly effective firearms (as opposed to the rare early pistols in Brotherhood) would utterly ruin the melee aspects of combat. Hell, even in Brotherhood's multiplayer the gun is annoying, and can almost totally negate many of the game's best features like the rooftop running. Luckily it gives shit points so hardly anyone uses it, but if someone cared more about being a cock than winning the match I think the pistol is the best way to do it. Even that has excruciatingly long cooldown - imagine how much worse a machine gun or repeating rifle would be.
