Too bad that the pike fighting both offensively and defensively is seriously f*cked up in m2tw.
To be honest, I don't really know anything towards the end of the Medieval Era. But coming from Scotland, where pikes were used in much earlier medieval times, pikes here were used by the Gaels and later by the Kingdom of Scotland largely as anti-cavalry weapons, eg Bannockburn. In M2TW, pikes function well for this role. Maybe you are right and they do not reflect Renaissance era pikemen.
