Is Warband expansion going to be a free-for-all arena...

Is Warband expansion going to be a free-for-all arena...or will there be actual strategic game play needed to like conquer a castle and what not?  I guess what I am asking is - will it play anything like BF2 where you have to capture flags points on a map - conquest type game?

Also any news on Tale Worlds eventually making a persistent online game - MMORPG based on Mount and Blade?

I dont remember them revealing any game modes yet.
And no news on an online M&B.

I doubt they would make an mmo.

It's too easy to kill/die.

There isn't any new on gametypes other than sieges and deathmatches as far as I know.

I think it will be up to the players to organise themselves and work as a team.

If there's a M&B MMORPG it'll end up like Urban Dead. i.e. bands of newbie footmen trying to organize themselves and hold against the roaming cavalry hordes.

Of course, being newbies they stand little chance to begin with, and the cavalry will have oodles of experience at ganking. One month later they announce that horse hp will be quartered to restore some balance, and the resulting rage and flamewars will put an end to this heresy.

lol, ok..

I doubt everywhere would be pvp.

But that's a point in itself. There isn't enough of a role playing element to have an m&b mmo.

they aren't going to let you run on the maps. you will get a lobby with servers you can host.
