Extremely disappointing.
If your hoping for a game similar to Warband think again. The game has changed drastically and if you wish to charge in as previously you will be severely disappointed, as you will be shot almost immediately and killed. "1 shot 1 kill". Therefore all the thrill is gone, I found carrying multiple guns to be quite entertaining but if an armored cavalry is charging at you its GG.
WFAS just does not make you feel special at all, its as if you are a regular chump on the battlefield and when you get shot and killed (Surprise, Surprise) The guns are extremely overpowered, sure if its a group of melee guys you can kite and kill all day, but if its a musketeer or whatnot its game over. The battle ends and you can possibly lose the weapon you played so long to acquire(which is a reason why I'm so upset) .
The terrain is like bleh. I would be more descriptive but it just green and a couple of trees and rocks..... If there is guns I would like something to hide behind please.
Maybe I haven't played enough but there is no sense of loyalty in WFAS, you could not start in a specific nation and your character is just going to be bland without background or allegiance, LAME.
To all you gamers I highly suggest you stick away from this game if you have not played M&B, buy Warband and live like a hero, instead of a weak chump like in WFAS.
I abosolutely love M&B but :( is the only way I can express my feelings.
