One of the best games to play when you are bored.
Has proximity chat with servers of up to 150 players. Pretty funny hearing someone blasting Kung Fu Fighting while charging into battle. The people who actually pick up accents, regardless of how bad they are, make this game beautiful. When the roleplaying officer comes into battle you know it's about to get serious. Love hearing the occasional "GIVE 'EM STEEL LADS" and "CHARGGGGGEEEE". A great way to show someone's character. I've blown up people, axed 10 enemies to death, got struck by lightning, and sailed with 15 men on one single lifeboat (we got cannon-balled within 30 seconds). Great teammates and hilarious community. Has musicians, and they have a variety of instruments like drums, flutes, bagpipes, violins, etc. The only issue is that when a woman talks in voice chat, right away some of the people make comments or shun you about it because "women don't play Holdfast". So just know what you're getting into.

But overall I really recommend this game, even if you play solo. You'll meet great people who are in the same boat as you (literally). There are many different roles and game-modes to try out and play, and there are so many battles to be won and lost.
