P.S.:
I hope they will prove me wrong.
I know, they won't.

Interesting...

I hope: Yes
I think: very little

1) Need better interface & foyer
2) Server that can handle thousands of players
3) Need better balance

I object to being without hope.

I dont see why we should have to pay for what will be in effect a glorified patch, with maybe 1 or 2 extra units to make it "look" like an x pack. I dont think I will buy another version of any TW game as their support for MP (which I used to play exclusively) is very shabby. They had 2 years to improve the online play between the release of STW and MTW, what have we got? The pathetic excuse for a foyer and system we have now.....sorry but for me it's just not good enough EOR...(end of rant http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif )

if the add-on doesn't have a better foyer then i will be very depressed, hopefully the new units or factions that are put in wont effect things too much and disrupt the balance further, hopefully we will have a patch for this .. wishful thinking but it could well spell the end of it all if they continue to takes these steps back http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif

Shade u might want to actualy read about the expansion:

8 new factions all with new units

3 new original campaign factions

new units for all of the original factions

PS. it was only called a glorified patch when CA said it includes some fixes to the major problems. so its an xpac that includes updates just like every other xpac theresn ever been.

plus mp is still fun u just gotta put up with sum crap.

lifes a bitch then u die, live with it.

Thank you for sharing your vast experience of the TW series of games with me Knight Yellow, as a relative newcomer to the games words of wisdom from an "old hand" such as yourself are gratefully received http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif...I will bear your comments in mind when deciding on my next games purchase.

ermmm is that like a sarcastic comment?

Im not particularly well known for sarcasm on these forums http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

Dont take it personally, but prolonged exposure to CA/EA/Activision hype will turn even the most optimistic gamer into a jaded old cynic such as myself. Of the 8 factions 7 seven of them will be crap and the new units will probably consist of stuff like Guatamalan goat hurlers or some such nonsense...destined never to be deployed meaningfully online http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif. I never play the SP version of MTW, and the law of averages mean that if they introduce 50 new units maybe only 3 will ever be any use in MP so I would be shelling out money for an additional use of 3 units...not worth it IMO. Im presuming you werent around for the MI x pack for STW....that creation should have been strangled at birth, so the track record for x packs is not too good.

I share ur feelings wriath. Personally I see the 'expack' as some sort of superpatch, it will probably fix some problems and add some new units and in turn for that you'll have to pay what? $20? Lmao.

New description of a 'veteran' player: A player who's been around long enough to frown on the xpac and expect very little. (remeber MI, who really played with the mongols much???)

I hope we can have all the factions coming out in the viking exp be played with the ones we have now, all in one era.

It would have been better if in mi/we there was only one era with the japs and mongols and the japs had all there units.

We will always have units not used in mp, cause they aren't balanced for it. All they did with all TWs was put the sp units into mp and after some playing we got one patch to try and balance it out. We wouldn't need patches for balancing if they just made an easy workable tool for us to do that. Also a stat swapper online to allow quick transfer of stats.

I would be satisfied is I could actually see the games half the time in the foyer without waiting for an hour and only then seeing like 10% of them.

The constant crashes are bugs, and i hope they are fixed this time, i think at least it will get attention, but thats not an assurance it will get fixed
