MP is Great! (if they fix the lag)

A crossbow string doesnt need to be held the entire time to be shot so the actual amount of time you need to spend not behind the sheild is quite low.

Sorry, I can't grasp what you mean here can you enlarge? A pavise type shield was used by the Huns. The men behind them were archers and I would be willing to bet they could release an arrow as fast as or faster than a man with a crossbow. Maybe I am missing the point

Orda, in the animation the crossbowman has a shield on his back. He is only exposed to enemy fire if he is shooting his crossbow. He can load his weapon while turning his back to the enemy. Ofcourse it could be done with a bow as well but I can imagine it would be a bit harder to do.
