The melee gameplay is great--imagine a far smoother Skyrim, with the ability to attack horizontally, vertically, and stab. The archery isn't particularly bad, but it isn't great; they improved it by giving you a decent crosshair. The blocking can be a tad wonky at times, and takes a while to get used to. You just have to remember that you need to aim at their weapon to get a good block. The community is alright, although given that every mode allows teammates to injure each other, you do get the occasional asshole/idiot who doesn't know that you use the stab/vertical swing and not the horizontal swing when teammates are standing right next to them. You can kick. I don't know if they've changed it since I was last on, but finding a server that has an accurate player count can be tricky; the official servers almost always misrepresent how many people are actually in the server. Overall, it's a great game that you could easily sink hundreds of hours into--definitely worth the full price, and even better now that it's half off.
