PVKII Released

[TimoJay]

Yeah, so it's out.

I actually found this by randomly checking the player stats for HL2. :cheese:

 

[Russian Mafia]

Awsome, I'v been wanting to play this!

 

[Mutley]

Cool, lets see what it is like.

Melee is a bugger to do in Source as I've seen from other games.

 

[Mutley]

Played it for a few hours and I love this! The Melee is spot on and it is so much fun, can be really funny at times.

Best mod I've played for a very long time and impressive for a Beta.

 

[Russian Mafia]

Yeah, it's a great game. Best beta so far for me.

 

[Gordon-Shepherd]

about to play. again I am surprised by the shitload of servers. gesource alpha had very few servers so the beta surprised my balls off. now I never played the original cos I hear its deserted but I mean wow... lots of servers.

 

[NeoNight]

Very nice. I was actually surprised to see it come out so well.

 

[Gordon-Shepherd]

after playing, this is my review.

*ahem*

[ShinRa]

[sinkoman]

[Zunni]

Finally a mod where the combat feels somewhat polished and finished. You don't feel like you are awkwardly moving around the play field, your attacks seem accurate and real.

Very pleased..

More mods could stand to have this level of completeness to their combat routines.

 

[NeoNight]

Just wish the vikings had some sort of throwing weapon, like a retrievable throwing axe.

 

[sinkoman]

Just wish the vikings had some sort of throwing weapon, like a retrievable throwing axe.

Their melee MORE than makes up for their lack of a ranged weapon.

ALL of the ranged weapons suck imo.

I'll have my full review as soon as it finishes downloading! D:

 

[Betelgeuze]

Just wish the vikings had some sort of throwing weapon, like a retrievable throwing axe.

The HL version had them and Im sure when they add all the classes to PVK2 it will be in the source version too.

 

[bigburpco]

I just had a try. Damn, it was awesome. I kinda suck at melee though.

 

[Insano]

I can't wait to test this out

Good luck to the team for more updates.

 

[Edcrab]

Had a play of it, great fun.

Not very good as the Knights, though: a bit too ponderous for my tastes!

 

[Mutley]

I like the Vikings with Sword+Axe combo. Knights are too slow with block then attack and Pirates are just too easy, I hate it, they run at equal speed with a pistol so you can never get them.

 

[Edcrab]

Yeah, I quickly grew to like the Vikings, especially when they've done enough damage to use their beserk ability.

Knights seem to be the middling side, what with having a crossbow and a greatsword/sword and shield, but they just feel too sluggish for me in comparison with the Pirates or Vikings.

I can see pirate keg spam ending up as an issue, but the various custom animations for everything makes me grin...

 

[Gordon-Shepherd]

I dueled with beerdude yesterday, and edcrab today (my name is cheese of antioch)


I feel like a celebrity :O

 

[DukeOfUke]

Have fun with the mod! It's at a very playable state and it's only going to get better. We're looking for programmers (especially ones knowledgeable of shaders using source) and mappers. Let me know if you're interested.

 

[213]

i has promise if they developed it into knight vs knight. i sort of like to see a huge long sword combat

 

[bassport]

I hope they release a version like this:

Is it source?

EDIT: Just seen the shots... it's source... looks veeeeery nice!
