I love the game and ive been playing MB for a long time also...
I have spend hours to learn this new system and i have learn pretty well.... but.... it doesnt make it any better.
I dont like new system. I know many people says its better but i think its worse.
They say you get more control with new system... well, i say you get more out of control with new system. When hitting cavalry coming towards, you really need to look way over his head, wich feels wierd... old system you were aiming/watching exactly enemy.
When hitting infantry, you need to aim your toes, or you will swing over head, and you cant see anything around you. Feels very wierd also. Plus, when you are riding toward infantry you cant keep your aim at his head/back, you have to turn you aim lower and lower closer you get, otherwaise your hitting angle will change just before you are going to hit, wich also feels really wierd. I mean, if im aiming something, why would i suddenly change my positioning so i cant hit that target anymore?
People also says that old system you need to aim really low, but i have to disagree on that. In old system you didnt need to go so close to enemy as you need with new system. My opinion, your aiming points were much closer to each other, now you need do lots of movement differently, depending are you aiming cavalry or infantry...
Old system just felt more "natural"
Well, i dont know, i bet new system is much better for multiplayer and maybe for lancing too... but i want to play with my sword too.
And this system is not ment for swordfighting on horseback.
Well, this is my feelings and my opinion, im not gonna start fight with anyone is it better or not, if you like it, then its good for you.
And i can play with this system, just dont understand it
