Pre-order Mount & Blade: Warband for instant beta access photo

Everyone desperately awaiting the release of Mount & Blade: Warband, listen up: by pre-ordering the action-RPG, you'll be given immediate access to the single- and multiplayer beta. With the finished game releasing on March 30, now is the time to slam your fistful of cash on the counter.

While this type of game generally isn't relevant to my interests, I'm all about giving the smaller game releases some much-deserved love. I seem to recall Anthony digging the original Mount & Blade, and on that note, don't pirate it -- he can and will have you killed for doing so.

Anthony looked all menacing-like when he said it so it must be true.

Seriously, piracy is bad enough, but pirating an indie game should be punished by death.

Didn't even hear about this until today. I'll keep it on my radar.

Can't wait to hear how the single player has shaped up. Oh, maybe I should just pre-order :D
Once modding gets a foothold in Warband, the multiplayer should get more interesting, and likely hilarious.

Goodbye 20,000 more hours of my life. 40,000+ when they bust out the mods.

quick story: I bought this game last time it was on sale, played it a few quick times in quick play and then quit. a week later I started a career and played for 24 hours total in the span of 3 days. since then I have banned myself from the game as I have other things I need to play (as much as I love M&B).

definitely picking this up eventually when I have the money, though. multiplayer siege battles with friends? are you kidding me? that's INSANELY cool!

If they're going to make a sequel almost identical to the first game then the least they can do is apply a fucking loyalty discount.

Raunchy: It's an expansion pack. But it is still a bit overpriced

You can get into the beta just by owning the original.

Bonus points to Mr. Scofield. *goes scurrying to find serial from original*

I'll almost certainly be purchasing the final product anyway, but I still prefer to be as informed of a consumer as possible.

Whoah, I was expecting something nominal like ten bucks at the most because like Derek said, this only builds on the original game.
Hell, I paid less for M&B because I bought it in beta. Waiting for loyalty or regular discount now.
Sad face.

Been playing the multiplayer beta since the original M&B went on sale for $5 in Feb. It is a lot of fun but has a nasty learning curve.

Saw this article and bought it on steam 5 minutes later. Played the beta for 3 hours and now I'm back here.
Verdict: Awesome!!! Multiplayer is soo fun! Right now theres a bug so that armor doesnt protect you so half of the players are running around naked (me included). Can't wait till the final version comes out next week.
Also the single player is bigger. New faction and a crap load more stuff in general. Worth the $27 with preorder.

Still there is room for greater development and I would recommend more emphasis on research and of course it will bring a better situation. Thanks for sharing a nice read. Cheers

There is, however, a new theory that could make sense of the Phaistos disk.
