  • Returning to queue from prep area. Seems too advert-like. --Orlady (talk) 16:13, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Is the ALT1 hook okay? I prefer the original, but the alt is not advert-like at all in my opinion. --Odie5533 (talk) 12:41, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
  • That hook has possibilities. However, the large number of business and brand names in the ALT hook made it seem promotional, particularly after I looked at the article and discovered that this new game is described as the first commercial product for Tom Banner Studios. I also see a discrepancy between the two articles: according to Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, the game Age of Chivalry was developed by Tom Banner Studios, but the article Age of Chivalry names the developer as "Team Chivalry" and doesn't mention the name "Tom Banner Studios." Regardless of what's done with the hook, it would be good to reconcile those two articles. A hook along the following lines would be less promotional:
Someone else needs to re-check the sourcing on the hook; I'm not good at finding the substance in video game review articles. --Orlady (talk) 13:05, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
The source for the hook states, "If you played the Age of Chivalry Source mod, which was created by the same team [...]" [1]. Here is a source (in French) which specifically states the studio changed their name [2]. I don't think it's needed in the article, though, since the gamesetwatch article covers it in my opinion. I am fine with any of the hooks. Here is another as well. --Odie5533 (talk) 08:52, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
  • Length, hook, ok on ALT 2...of course there was nothing wrong with the boiling oil one from a month ago, either, unless someone thought mere mention of it was going to create a run on siege weapons and canola oil at the local Cabela's.  :) --Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 19:20, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
  • ALT3 ... that the upcoming commercial video game Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is based on a free game modification?
  • I've gone through the article to make it more neutral. Reviewer needed. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:24, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
  • Length, hook, ok...I don't speak "Gamer" so I don't know if it was in fact a "free" mod, it doesn't explicitly say so in the refs, but with these new fangled kids of the pepsi generation with the swear words in the rock n roll and the bare knees in Sunday Services it could be there and I just can't tell :)--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 19:23, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
  • In the article: "... the free Age of Chivalry mod for Half-Life 2." The fact that it is free is sourced to Steam Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:43, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
