@@jamesmccomb9525 Can't make it too complicated or you lose all of the casuals. Can't make it too simple or you lose everyone else. It's a lose lose genre.
You can still make a mechanically complex game while having gamemodes geared towards casuals. In this video, there's a huge amount of players and it's kind of a clusterfuck. The map seems to be made in way way to encourage very dense and narrow battles as well. Therefore each individual player's skill and effort is a lot less important and it becomes more of collective group effort. In a 5v5, a player contributes 20% of the team effort. In a 40v40, a player contributes only 2.5%. Some pro player could even have a KDR of 3, and it'd still be only 7.5%. EDIT: Actually I think they're playing against bots in the game so it doesn't even matter lol.
When I heard shield wall I thought of Maximus Decimus Meridius commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the True emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife and I will have my revenge
"As the Men of Gondor push back Sauron's Hordes the ground begins to shake and the Orcs begin to cheer and roar, moving aside for Sauron's Deadliest Servant and the Mightiest Ogre of the 3rd Age: *Fredgholak the Man Crusher.* They cheered the name "Fred" across the outerwall as he moved towards the breached wall with his Spiked Metal Club, looking down upon the now fearful men with a merciless and ominous glare; Eyes radiating a fiery tint that no soldier could unsee nor forget. Clad in Heavy Black Iron Armor with the eye of Sauron marked onto his Helm, Fred swung his Great Club at the Enemy without hesitation and sent several Guards flying, either killing them on impact or by bleed-out; Chunks of the very Wall we're tossed with a single hand across the Fortress' grounds at clusters of Gondor Men, crushing them under the stone's forceful weight. Far a while all seemed lost as Fred took control of the battlefield with his mere presence and strength alone, with many Uruk-Hai charging towards the Keep behind him. That day was a horrific one for a time."
Rimmy fighting with a tool hammer reminded me of the piece of medieval art of what appears to be a knight on a castle wall tossing a potato at the besieging enemy.
I believe I heard something of that sort would actually happen. Defenders would throw food at a besieging enemy to show they had plenty of stores and wouldn't surrender anytime soon
Potatoes are native to the American continent so that would only be possible if the artist was psychic or something. It would more likely have been an oddly shaped rock
Whoever that commander was, it took me a solid minute or two to realise it was a player and not some sort of in-game voice lines. Props to him, he has the perfect voice for this.
If you like his work, check out Bruva Alfabusa's youtube channel. He voices the character Leman Russ on his series: "If the Emperor had a Text to Speech device" He's also a *very* big 40k buff
That’s Zoran. It’s funny I can’t seem to stop finding him in stuff I look up. He’s probably trying to expand his channel and grow after the games workshop IP issue.
Denethor *Looking over at Rimmy In the shield-wall* : "I never thought I’d die fighting side by side with a Streamer….” Faramir: "What about fighting side by side with a son?" Denethor: "Aye, I wish he was here."
OH GOD! I REMEMBER TAKING PART IN THIS BATTLE MANY MOONS AGO! Seriously though, rewatching this I constantly felt motivated by you 3. Shit was fun as hell!
I gotta be honest, rimmy using an accent that's anything other than Australian is just...weird. I don't hate it, but it's just so uncanny to me. (Though anytime he says "milord" I take 2d6 mental damage)
I'm actually surprised that in Mordhau shield walls actually work to some degree. This looks so damn fun too, love the Gondorian skins, the armor looks quite nice and the shields adorned with the White Tree.
It triggers me that you have to hold the shield in front of your face. That's not how your supposed to hold it or you would just get stabbed somewhere else because you can't see the enemy lol, imagine trying to actually fight like that.
But the game doesn't allow ducking your head to dodge spears or arrows. So in a game you would be a sitting duck. But they could also have left a viewing slit.
This looks AWESOME...IF I had a SMALL ARMY of friends! But I'd be blessed just to have a mere FIRETEAM, and they aren't exactly loaded with enough dough or interest to get into the video games I like. So, uh...all I can do is vicariously enjoy that fantasy through Rimmy's digital eyes. Ah well. Such is life.
So... thats not Helms Deep.... its Osgiliath; as you can tell by the river; the architecture and the soldiers fighting. Gondorian knights didnt fight at Helms Deep; as it was property of Rohan. But everything else in the video; was lit!
anyone else remember an old minecraft gamemode called dwarves versus zombies and a youtuber called old man willikers when they kept calling everyone jimmy it reminded me of that
The pretend yells when you wanna imitate a shouting commander but you still gotta be quiet so your neighbors still wanna look at you next morning.
Me as Japanese Commander in
Rising Storm 1
As a LOTR fan I enjoyed everytime they yelled "FOR GONDOR"
FOR GONDOR
As a LOTR fan I'm triggered that they were gondorians defending helms deep instead of rohirrim, still super cool tho
@@doopmeister8676 pretty sure the beginning was Osgiliath the second half is Helm's Deep

Saruman, and the Cereal of Many colors :P
This made me laugh way too much
This just makes me wish for a new official game of this style.
If only one of these games could go more than 2 seconds without having epic gamer skill tryhards.
Til then, you can resort to LotR: Conquest. Kinda silly, but very fun.

Wrong room I think
"Sauron has yet to reveal his deadliest servant, the one who will lead Mordor's armies in war. The one they say no living man can kill... Fred..."
I agree

Bread probably or spain

Same. Kept thinking he sounds ridiculously similar to the Gondor soldiers in Battle for Middle Earth.
Zoran the Bear is an amazing voice actor. He does lots of little side jobs but I always recognise his voice with that fantastic delivery.
His twitch is shinikami
If you like his work, check out Bruva Alfabusa's youtube channel.
He voices the character Leman Russ on his series: "If the Emperor had a Text to Speech device"
He's also a *very* big 40k buff
“Send fourth all legions do not stop until the city is taken”
Orc:what of the one they call rimmy?
“I will break him…”
That failed pretty hard. But what else can you expect from a man that uses a sidearm as an AA gun?
Kills me that one of them almost sounds like Aragon from the movies.
This was amazing.
It's actually freakishly similar
@Synthjak throughout the whole video lol
That’s Zoran. It’s funny I can’t seem to stop finding him in stuff I look up. He’s probably trying to expand his channel and grow after the games workshop IP issue.
Aragon if he was played by Johnny Depp
Love how Rimmy literally develops an Yorkshire accent throughout this Video
Give or take a few thousand miles.

Denethor gaming channel
Oh *Fuck* Stop he's already dead!!! :P
This made me actually wince, and then laugh.
Chinny's voice somehow reminded me of the LOTR:Conquest announcer🤣😂😂😂😂
Glad you're enjoying our mods haha, I will revive this soon enough ;)
Every games needs a Helms Deep map
I hope Fred had a lovely day and,
FOR GONDOR
Medieval Siege PvP never goes out of style!
It's just coop PvE though
@@Brother_O4TS
Well, technically what i said isn't negated by that...
But I didn't know Mordhau had PvE till now _XP_
@@kjj26k Yeah I meant the mode not the game itself
OH GOD! I REMEMBER TAKING PART IN THIS BATTLE MANY MOONS AGO!
Seriously though, rewatching this I constantly felt motivated by you 3. Shit was fun as hell!
I never knew that i need Shini, Zoran, Rimmy and Digby in one Video so badly.
I know better now, this was amazing!
I gotta be honest, rimmy using an accent that's anything other than Australian is just...weird.
I don't hate it, but it's just so uncanny to me.
(Though anytime he says "milord" I take 2d6 mental damage)
Same...
I hate it
I was not expecting a Batman the Animated Series reference. A surprise...but a welcome one.
Man, this takes me back. I remember with Age of Chivalry was a Mod and there was a Helms Deep Level.
7:16 So the Orcs stopped to take a few practice swings at the dummy? I can appreciate their goal on self-improvement, at least.
Oh....poor Gondor might have been better off without the "Aid"
Would love to see more mordhau content rimmy, love seeing big group things like this I. Mordhau
Also Zoran makes a good gimli
Bruh, the fact that one of them sounded like most of the Gondor units from BFME 1-2 gave this the real LOTR vibe!
Why is it called “Gondor” when the door is the there the gone the not door is the door gone not there is not door not there is gone door ?
THERE IS NO DOORS
ONLY WALLS AND GATES
I died when dude was jumping up "I filed my taxes! I filed my taxes! Lmfao love a good Futurama joke
3:06 That's too real man.
I'm actually surprised that in Mordhau shield walls actually work to some degree. This looks so damn fun too, love the Gondorian skins, the armor looks quite nice and the shields adorned with the White Tree.
When Milsim gamers discover Christianity
Osgiliath: The city broke before the guard did.
Helms Deep: the wall broke before the graphics card did.
Gives a new meaning to "The Cripple's Shield Wall", 10/10 video
As someone who has been in many shield walls, ya you pretty much just curl up in a ball and pray as the guys behind you do all the work.
It triggers me that you have to hold the shield in front of your face. That's not how your supposed to hold it or you would just get stabbed somewhere else because you can't see the enemy lol, imagine trying to actually fight like that.

Mordhau hyper nerfed shields a while ago, only good for larping in the game now.
Weren't this like half a year ago? I vaguely recall Zoran's stream. Good times
The best battle in Star Wars
This was a glorious event and would love to do something like this again in the future.
The "High Ping" on the right hand side of the screen is a symbol of the true Aussie experience when playing online
That and "Lost connection to the server." Truly a painful experience, just wanna play Hell Let Loose.

“The wall broke before the guard did”
I was halfway expecting Zoran to start shouting commands in his Leman Russ voice.
Reminds me of Lord of the Rings Conquest. That was such a good game.
eleven minutes of zorans sexy voice screaming heroic phrases, what more could you want?
This makes me with for a 16 - 20 player coop game with more teamwork.
I liked the part when they yelled „FOR GONDOR!”
Love the content rimmy keep it going man
Cheers to the Joker IRS Joke
The role-play was glorious, not gonna lie.
...I never thought I'd see a (relatively) big youtuber play this godforsaken game.
I can't wait for the other maps those mod makers are working on
So... thats not Helms Deep.... its Osgiliath; as you can tell by the river; the architecture and the soldiers fighting. Gondorian knights didnt fight at Helms Deep; as it was property of Rohan. But everything else in the video; was lit!
Did you see the last few minutes of the video?
anyone else remember an old minecraft gamemode called dwarves versus zombies and a youtuber called old man willikers when they kept calling everyone jimmy it reminded me of that
They stood before Sauron's vast horde at the Black Gates.
Aragorn stepped forward but stopped before turning to his companions.
"For Timmy."
This is a better LOTR story than whatever Amazon is going to try and sell us.
The weapons, armor, and shields looked nice!
Pity the shield blocks eyes as well as weapons
RIP Jimmy, and his heroic attempts.
“FOR TIMMY!” Amazing video lmao
I'm waiting for the Map where Rohan with his cavalry arrives at the White City 😂
As a LOTR fan I can't not say that it's an Osgiliath and not Helm's Deep. Still really good video.
6:30 That reminded of Giants: Citzen Kabuto. "TIIIIIMMYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
Shoulda known this was a mod, imagine LotR having a recent, interesting multiplayer game smh
Oh this puts a smile on my face.
Meanwhile quick matches look like beyblade matches
I kinda wonder how the battle for Helm’s Deep would have played out if the walls were lined with maxim guns, with 2000 round belts?! 😁
More videos of this game plz
He's shouting like his mom is asleep in the next room. Just the whisper shouts
Chinney sounds exactly like the announcer from LOTR:Conquest
Bad Company of the Rings
there is a lotr mount and blade warband mod called end of the 3rd age
"Just dont tell the elf"
This can only go well.
Reminds me of the old days of the Mount and Blade LOTR modes!
Always great to find Shinikami anywhere
The worst Orc warlord, Ey Ar Ess 3:28
This is the content we need.
There's one guy that has a vocie that reminds me of Vernon Roche
Man I really liked Mordhau, wish the community was better is all
I'd love to see more Mordhau content tbh
That is actually a really good aragon impression
this may get me back into Mordhau........
This is giving me heavy M&B Full Invasion vibes
Damn I remember this who else was there I am IronClad you can see me sometimes
Hello, I was ben.schroeder and I served proudly. got a favorite moment?
Reminds me of M&B. Good times that was
It can’t be a coincidence I’m playing the DaC mod for Medieval 2 the same day you uploaded this.
"GONDOR CALLS FOR AID!" "AND THESE IDIOTS ANSWER!"
Oh god the title alone is so much hype!!!
Is the map now available on server? I don't find it on mordhau server...
eureka stockade looks a little different
Wasn’t this like a year ago?
0:06 Oh hi Zoran! I forgot he plays with Rimmy occasionally.
I think i heard PyrionFlax aswell.
Rings of Power looking sick
That... was pretty epic.
I remember this stream. Good times.
I wanted to try this out but could only manage to find servers with the mines of moria 2 mod. :(
Same:(
This is really entertaining
Shini sounds like the colosseum announcer from Gladiator.
This is why I subscribed.
Actually pretty sick
Where was gondor or rather in this case where was rohan
box likes this content could we get "more"dhau
