    games with good archery combat?

    So, I recently decided to try Mount&Blade Warband after seeing so many posts on it over the years, and it's mostly amazing. I love a lot of aspects of the game, but some parts are too frustrating (e.g., castle siege on offense, all of my allies get bottlenecked at the end of the siege ramp and kill each other with friendly fire, the AI for this is atrocious). Can anyone recommend a game with similar combat?

    Sidenote: I also love TES archery, but I've played the hell out of all the recent ones, so I'm a little burnt out on them.

    Okay, noted, I'll probably pick that up when it goes on sale. Anything that's more single-player driven though? I love multiplayer, but sometimes I don't feel like dealing with the immature vocal minority that always seems to plague competitive online games (drawing this example from Counter-Strike, heh). Unless the Chivalry community is better...

    The Chivalry community is pretty laid-back from my experience; I don't think anyone takes it anywhere near as seriously as Counter-Strike.

    Here's a video from the beta:

    TES archery is awesome, I agree. I can't really think of any other games that focus on archery unfortunately.

    Haha, I've seen gifs floating around on the internet of the first few seconds of that video. Hilarious beta bugs... looks really fun.
