This game looked really good when I was reading about it and watching other people play. I got to play it finally and I'm not happy to say the least. There is no balance between weapons. As it stands, the only weapons that matter are the Rapier, the Longsword, or the Spear. Everything else might as well come with a suicide button. There is literally 3 gamemodes. One is you hoping to fight with a team against a team but is actually you fighting 14 people because your team picked instruments instead of weapons. Then there is Battle Royale which at this point is a sign of a desperate developer to stay relevant. Lastly, there is a horde mode that to be honest, I never tried because I was already fed up with the Frontlines mode. I had so much hope for this game and was crushed to see it this way. It is also super buggy. Some people don't save their progress after matches (mine did but a friend of mine was stuck at lvl 1). Some people can't navigate the menu without the game crashing. The last thing that ticked me off about this game is that it suffers from the same community issues that Chivalry had. People run into a large group of people, friend and foe, and just swing back and forth. Why they even included a tutorial in this game when that is literally all you have to do to be successful in this game is beyond me. Don't get me wrong, there are people who do fight and have skill. The majority, however, is literally taking a longsword and swinging or has a rapier or spear just spamming stab. 2/5 stars simply because the game is graphically appealing and has lots of potential but the community is bad, the maps are bad, and the balancing is bad. It was only $30 but it's honestly not worth more than $10.

Look in the server browser, for deathmatch, team deathmatch and skirmish.
Also, you can type duel or 1v1 into the server name and find games setup for 1v1s. I think there might be a cavalry map too.
If you think its shit thats ok by me but you are not correct by saying that there is only three game modes and I wanted to let you know, as you might like it a bit more.
but yeah it is a bit shitty with the meme weapons.
practice stab chambers and as soon as it chambers do a slash and that gets a lot of the shield and rapier buggers. except good players that will parry your chamber - slash
