One of the main designers behind Mount and Blade Armagan Yavuz announced that in the next update/expansion of mount and blade a new online mode as well as a map maker will become available. Up to now Mount and Blade is only playable as a one player offline game and to be honest it is pretty barran, not all that much variety and the AI is far from challenging. A online mode however will make this game so much more fun and interesting. In the intervieuw Yammuz talks about how players will be able to command their AI troops which could make some very interesting tactical matches.

Oh, I wish Levio was here to troll about how awesome he thinks this game is... but now he is only a memory. "sniff"
"So... Mount and blade anyone want to talk about how online could be pretty neat?"It seems everyone would prefer to talk about Levio and rap.
It seems everyone would prefer to talk about Levio and rap."Yea very strange.
"I don't see why you're trying to convince me. They both suck, I already said that. The whole genre sucks. It's not music, it's stupid people being stupid for the sake of stupidity."Man, I really gave you the benefit of the doubt up until now, despite your rampant Nintendo fanboyism and love for everything that originates in Japan (and, in turn, an innate disdain for anything that comes from somewhere else), but this seals it. You're a child. A young, stupid child.
"PureRok said:I actually don't really like Nintendo at all. Got me confused with somebody else? Also, what does my preference in music have anything to do with Japan, Nintendo, this game, or anything else besides music? On that note, what does anything being discussed here have anything to do with this announcement, besides the reference to an idiot? I don't see how me not liking rap equates to "an innate disdain for anything that comes from somewhere else.""I don't see why you're trying to convince me. They both suck, I already said that.

Really? I think it's your fanboyism that's the problem, not mine (or lack thereof). I don't "love everything that originates from Japan" either. Hell, in another thread I just got done commenting on how horrible something was (it was from Japan). Please, I'm the child here?
"So... Mount and blade anyone want to talk about how online could be pretty neat?"Mount & Blade getting online is huge.
"Crayola said:lol @ you for thinking they are in the same genre."PureRok said:I don't see why you're trying to convince me. They both suck, I already said that. The whole genre sucks.

I bought this game when it was on sale on Steam and have yet to play it. Maybe I'll hate it and change my mind when the multiplayer comes out.
Not only will it be online, but I hear it will also improve the graphics (which weren't so bad in the first place). I really hope the developers get a lot of support because this is one of the best games I've played recently. I'm willing to say it kicks Total War's butt and I love Total War.
