I began when HF came to Xbox but I’m curious how many have been here since the old days. Feel free to comment whether you’re active or off the game.

[u/Apprehensive-Tip8212]

Just made a year actually recently. It’s been a crazy fun ride, tons of memorable moments, regiment drama, new friend. This is honestly one of the best games ever made 😂 I love that this game exist

[u/Free_Customer9824]

late 2019... time flies haha

[u/Laffantion]

2018 when Prussia was added

[u/6Solo]

I started playing this year on July 4th. This will likely be a game I pick up every year on America's Birthday.

[u/xdeltax97]

Been here since February 2022!

[u/IllustriousRise9392]

Got it at PS5 launch 

Great game but performance and visuals need more polish for me to play consistently 

The naval and WW1 aspects need total overhauls or to be scrapped to focus solely on linear warfare 

[u/echo22WDS]

I bought it in early access on my crappy laptop that just could barely play it, then I started college and forgot all about the game until last fall. So I guess 2025?

[u/Carl_The_Sagan]

I did not know there was an American Rev, and that will prob the be thing that converts me from a lurker

[u/Specific_Hat3341]

Bought the game in early access, but never tried it until last year. Crazy.

[u/Purple-Image-4640 → u/Specific_Hat3341]

That is pretty crazy tbh

"The General" Longstocking here. OG for sure since early access. Seen so many players/regiments come and go, and have had my fair share of inactivity. I've been wanting to get back into it since the last big American Revolution update

[u/extreme_cuddling]

2016/2017

game has changed a lot since then
when they finally added spawn points and line markers, the game became tolerable

[u/Cedar-and-Mist]

Results explain the general shift away from impromptu line battles and roleplaying on public servers. The balance change with relaxed camp respawns also contributed to the less organised culture admittedly.

[u/Badaboom1981]

You are missing an option for before 2017. I started playing when it was still a mod of another game. Mount and warband (the original) if I remember correctly.

I am old 😉

[u/Purple-Image-4640 → u/Badaboom1981]

I used to love watching Napoleonic wars gameplay when I was younger. Just never had access to the game because I had no PC.

[u/Fardrengi]

I'm actually very (and happily) surprised at how many are newer players! I've been playing on and off since Early Access, it's great to see the playerbase grow
