@OP
So what you're saying is that you're afraid that if too many people release gun-based mods for Warband everyone will start playing those instead of the more convental ones because what they REALLY wanted out of this online team-based melee combat game is an online team-based shooter?
Really now?
Well, no I think you are quite right, that the people who will buy this game, will expect to play melee as it is, not waiting for a CS mod to come out. But you see, in year 2004 no one thought that in game Jedi Academy, there would be released such as mod as JA+, that allows people to overuse their force powers, a few years later, most of the original servers died out. After some more time, there was released this siege mod, thats almost like one of those FPS shooters, where you pick a class, hide in a corner and wait for someone to pass by, so you can take your shot. That completely changed the original game, there was this counter-strike community which filled most of the servers, so the majority of people where forced upon to play in those servers.
I just hope that such a thing doesn't happen with mount and blade, since it never ever has been released for multiplayer gaming, so we cannot really predict how the things are going to change over time in the future.

the community in this forum is very reasonable and sensible.
Excuse me.
What?

Well, you should see how it is in other game forums, when you try to post a sensible thread, stating your point of view to others, you will most likely get flamed and afterwards warned for speaking out loud. Atleast that is what I got in one MMORPG forum, where I replied to a thread asking, why the download link is broken and nobody cares about it, a few days later, I see that my account has received a warning and a PM message from moderator saying to shut the **** up.

You´d rather have few melee-only mods or many varied ones?
I think that the best mods are those that are well balanced between melee and ranged combat, don't forget there are bows and crossbows in the original game, and I couldn't imagine mount&blade without equiping a bow and shooting some damn soldiers from a castle

but as long as it allows me also to pick up an axe and chop a head off.
