Honest First Impression:
At first when I joined, I was extremely frustrated.  I did not know what the weapons where (as I do not speak french or german) and I did not know how to do anything.  I joined a server and was basically using my gun as a club because I did not know how to reload.  I tried to play sniper, but all the sniper spots are always filled.  I tried heavy machine gun but could not figure out how to make it work.

Upon playing again a little later, I asked people in-game about the controls.  Once I learned how to use everything and found out what classes I was best at I was having a blast.  It's a great game, but adding in a tutorial for new members or making the keys more apparent to people who don't look at their key bindings would help improve the mod I think.

Well, Im struggling to play with more than 13-17fps and also suffering crippling lag.

^ The above is probably my own fault though.

I have had a great first impression so far. I enjoy how different it is than NW. My real impression will be how events are. Im very interested in seeing if any regiments are going to switch over full time.
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

I was waiting the mod for a long time and now it's released I'm not disappointed. It can't be compared to NW because there is no melee and no formation, but it has a special atmosphere compared to N&S or Blood&Iron (other where you shoot more than you go to melee) and in my opinion it's the best mod that have been made on NW with a lot of great features. I really hope we will reach 200 players on the servers without crash.  :D
Good work and thanks to the dev for their work.

I absolutely love the mod. If you play smart and have a good aim you can go far, kid. I think my most favorite class is the mortarman with Officer being a close second. (OK, commanding and rallying my troops with the whistle is just too damn cool) I really wish I could spend a bit more time dicking around with the grammophone, but everything is so fast paced which is great.

WWI in the Warband engine is already really ambitious on its own as just an idea and to see such a great vision come to light as polished as it is compared to most other mod releases and with already great maps is just fantastic. A lot of people in-game really love it and slapping that lag away would be the best thing to happen to the mod.

I agree with the snipers being OP and a lot of server admins recognize it as such and limit it greatly, which I appreciate. Some more implemented features should tone the powerhouse down, but I like how it is feared and should remain as such.

I just can't wait for more nations and features... like GAS!

Today, on Belgian Forest, I got three kills in a row with the Nahkampfmesser which I'm pretty sure is the smallest knife in game. I've seen multiple instances of people using bayonets, knives, and clubs quite effectively.  ;D

I have bayoneted one guy so far. Mainly because it laggs so much.

Your entire frustration comes from refusing to read the FAQ though.

I have to say, I was a bit sceptical that the mod would nail the gameplay, but you blew my expectations out of the water. This is one of the most fun Warband mods I've played, and probably the best utilisation of Conquest mode I've seen. The graphics, atmosphere and details are also impressive, but unlike the fun gameplay I always had faith in those aspects. I look forward to more factions and further polish.

Heavy Club OP.
I got like 6 kills with it in Belgian Forest I think, it was hilarious.
