WIN: Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword

By Jim Rossignol on July 1st, 2011 at 10:33 am.

They can't actually fly.
But only if you live in the UK or Europe. NO REST-OF-WORLDERS ALLOWED! Sorry, we will have a competition for everyone later today.

Anyway, do you want a copy of Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword? Do you? You know, the epic sandbox melee game made famous by the amazing diaries of Captain Smith? If so then email us at this address with a good name for a horse. The best horse names – as judged by us – will win copies of the game. Easy, eh? OR IS IT.

Usual rules ‘n stuff apply.

    On my trusty steed ‘Warband is probably slightly better, but Mount and Blade is pretty good”.

      “When I’m rich I shall buy a horse and call him Notch.” (Can’t find who came up with this in the RPS comments. Some developer I think.)

    “Bum-Hat”

    I have the game already so I’ll withdraw my little pony name from this.

    I have the bestest name, but I am not going to post it here in case of copyright infringement.

  6. 01/07/2011 at 10:55 Teddy Leach says:

    Likewise, “A VD-Ridden Dong.”

    The sad thing is that horse names are sillier than that.

    Anything other than Comet. You don’t want to give the horse ideas.

    Uhu.

    (not really)

    Can I win the chance to get rid of my copy? Please, somebody take it!

    Is Castle Shotgun harbouring zombie Bill Owen?

    Ah, I would follow the same reasoning I used when I named my pet rabbit.
    I called him Pasztet – it is a Polish name for ground meat.
    My hourse would then be named Kabanos, it’s a kind of dry sausage sometimes made from horses.

    The best name ever for a horse is of course “Trust me, I’m a stomach”.

    I’m not sure I can come up with something better.

    Bostick the Incredible Adhesive Horse!

  20. 01/07/2011 at 14:00 Lolsmurf says:

    Easy as shit and probably the best name for actually everything:

    BAD MOTHERFUCKER

    In Ultima Online I always named my horses “Oscar”.

    When one died the next one became “Oscar II”, “Oscar III”, and so on.

  22. 01/07/2011 at 16:19 Mr_Day says:

    I sent my entry in, and decided to repeat the name as I felt it was so good.

    Just realised that I changed the name slightly, so I say the name, then give an example of a warcry with a slightly different name.

    Thus the horse couldn’t possibly know I was talking about him.

    I got Queen Elizabeth face on my money does that count has been in UK ? (Canada) =p

    Got the game already anyway. =)

    Mobarak Qaddafi Assad

    (It might not be the nicest horse but Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword multiplayer is not the nicest place)

    :p

  28. 01/07/2011 at 22:21 aperson4321 says:

    I take it back a better name is:

    NyanNyan HORSE, The rainbow shitting horse!

  29. 02/07/2011 at 10:21 Aankhen says:

    Question: since Warband and Fire & Sword are “expandalones”, that means you can’t combine the two, right? I’d like to try F&S but I love Warband.

    • 05/07/2011 at 07:19 Aankhen says:

      Welp, I tried it out and went running back to Warband with my tail between my legs. Those firearms are lethal in anyone’s hands but yours.

    Only UK and Europe? What! Outrage.

    Well your loss, RPS. I had a fantastic entry.

  31. 04/07/2011 at 17:03 Psico_Payaso says:

    When is RPS gonna announce the Winners? Or were they already contacted and i lost the game? :D
    edit: BTW does anyone know what the hell one’s supposed to do with cattle in the game? Cause I remember looting some cattle in the demo and I was clueless. Since they followed you around you couldnt just sell them, right?
