Everyone watch this video after 3:36 and tell me something wasnt off in the beta gameplay video. The combat in this video looks dfinitely better. The inverse kinematics, the animations etc.
About Mordhau I dont know. I dont think it is that good to worth too much glorification. I mean you cant hold your attacks that is one thing and there is this feeling of the characters are action figures which makes the game look like an EA game. If you know what I mean. It reminded me of Star Wars the fps one when you get Darth Vader.
Though in duels I can see maintaining distance is important. Because when you move left or right it is way slower than moving forward. I think Bannerlord is problematic atm in term of this. Hence, it looks like characters are dancing around each other.
There is also desynch problem between walking animation and the distance they walk as the 578 pointed out. If Taleworlds handle these problems along with the ones mentioned in constructive criticism topic it will make Mordhau lobbies empty once it gets released. Because M&B multi has diversity and more freedom in my opinion.
In warband there were some servers that put some hard to climb towers, you had to jump from platform to platform to get on top and there always was a guy being an a-hole throwing either javs or shooting xbows. Or pistoling. It was tons of fun with a lot of paranoia. You didnt know if the guy next to you wants to peacefully climb along with you or go troll and kill you. If number two, the chat would go full of bad words for some time
Damn, I wish I wasnt banned from that server
