I would recommend everyone tries this unique ( Mount and Blade notwithstanding) multiplayer experience. Unfortunately to do so does mean you will miss out on the hilarious banter and weird interactions which really do come thick and fast. There is always the option of disabling chat if you want the Holdfast multiplayer experience without the modern weirdness. Apparently, some people also don’t like being bossed about, barely doing anything and pretending to be line infantry. Everyone has a different amount of extremely online grossness they can handle. I don’t think anyone can decide for you if the game is worth the struggle. Is the Holdfast multiplayer experience worth the issues? In fact, you see more players called a try-hard for trying to do a posh English voice than actually trying hard to win the game. Even in line battles, it’s more about playing the role of a frightened conscript than trying competitively to win. No one is really taking the game all that seriously so there is plenty of laid back shenanigans. Unfortunately, it was very necessary to blank chat almost every time I tried to take a photo It is usually best to mix and match these game modes, alongside the fantastic naval battles. You already have a fairly limited ability to aim but in line battles, you are basically just following orders so have no more influence on how you move. They also limit your ability to express yourself or influence your fate. These bring a little more decorum to the game and can make the game a little more manageable. Most commonly you will see line-battles in which no one is allowed to go it alone and must follow their officers’ orders and only fire whilst standing in line with their allies. These often include player imposed rules and regiment loyalties which make gameplay a little more like real Napoleonic warfare. The game’s community is organised through a large Discord server through which regular events are organised. You hope for the amazing moments of kinship with allies and enemies alike but the negatives of the community are constantly there, on the surface. The Modern Warfare lobby joke truly has nothing on Holdfast and that really does hurt the experience. With a small team behind it, Holdfast has no hope of ever solving its disgusting problem with bigots in chat. A group of racists typing out slurs in the chat is not. A group of musicians jamming around a central piano is great fun. The weirdness of the Holdfast multiplayer experience is its greatest weakness and its greatest strength. If you want to take an objective you really need everyone shooting at once and then charging with bayonets. Massing up, using cover and barely moving are all encouraged.

The wide crosshairs similarly make the game completely different from a modern shooter. Now, this is a lot shorter than it would be historically, but it still completely changes the game.
#BATTLE NATIONS CRAZY BLADES FULL#
Reloading takes around ten full seconds and you can shoot once at a time. It improves the experience without changing too much of the core gameplay.
#BATTLE NATIONS CRAZY BLADES UPGRADE#
This full game treatment was a needed upgrade on the spin-off feel of the original. Ultimately it is just a remake of Mount and Blade‘s Napoleonic Wars DLC, the community seems fairly indistinguishable, as do most aspects of gameplay. Holdfast commits to its musket warfare inspiration. Considering the large maps and teams, it is tempting to compare Holdfast to Battlefield. However, though Battlefield has gone back in time before, this has been largely cosmetic with most guns functioning as modern weapons. Holdfast: Nations at War is a Napoleonic first-person/third-person multiplayer shooter experience. 4) Is the Holdfast multiplayer experience worth the issues? What is the Holdfast Multiplayer experience meant to be?
