It wasn't just standing in lines, there were mass cavalry charges, mass infantry rushes, and masses of chaotic lines of men hurling themselves on opposing lines. This was the dawn of modern warfare, and while it's not a favorite, it definitely is pretty cool.
Yea, but gunpowder made war much more boring
I don't recall the Basilisk in Medieval II being boring

Imo it is... Along with all the other cannons...

More games need Naval combat, I really would've liked to see it in Battlefield 2.

Well I hope when they can shoot while walking to each other then charge that will be pretty awesome then begin the sword fights!

I must admit the sepertine in med 2 cut infantry down like butter...

They're probably not going to have sword fights considering...they're armed with muskets with Bayonets on them. But pikemen existed in the early 1700's, but not many. I'd say by 1720 they were gone gone.

But cavalry have swords.

I'm planning on doing a staggered upgrade for this game. That includes a heftier processor, moar Ram, and a GPU for X-mas. I'm taking no chances, big boys.

ah yeh thats it but they did have swords, would be a bit unrealistic if they did'nt fight with swords because bayonets were basically to charge and stab continuously till it might have broken off and then switch to swords I think

FIX BAYONETS!

The only problem with that is that infantry in this time period weren't armed with swords.
