i've been waiting 6 yrs for a game like TW to come out with a nice campaign and features like warcraft3. TW had the game play, but lack of support and features. warcraft3 had features and support, but not the gameplay i like. reason why i stuck with TW so long is cause of the nice battles in stw, it was simple and balanced. warcraft3 kept me around cause of it's features, but not nearly as long as TW. now TW's gameplay is so twisted it's not even worth sticking around unless they do something fast.
why they have it where the graphics only look sweet zoomed in is a mind buster for me. the 2d sprities in stw with the flags on the back of units when using a high resolution looked very nice, which made the game more enjoyable and easier to tell what was going on in battle - easier to tell apart units - . the graphics only look average now that i got a new system, but not everyone should need to have a high end system just to have good graphics and a good frame rate. the 3d campaign map is nice to have i'll give them that and how you move armies like in the old LOTR, which i wanted to see very much. if they wanted to go 3d with the units in battles you make sure the graphics look sweet when zoomed out!!! not just zoomed in!!! it just pisses me off how so many show screen shots for a new game all zoomed in except for like one... zzz give me a break
now they are talking about maybe a real time campaign which you can come and go as you please? you can't be serious, that's not the way to do it. they say it would take to long to finish a campaign... well yeah that's what we want.. lol. put the sp campaign into mp and allow people to save games and an option to play small parts of it for smaller campaigns, that's all we need.
i myself don't care much for historical accuracy in a game. i just like swords, cavalry, spears, and archers, that's all i need to be happy. and something that simple is much easier to balance and saves the whining of those complaining about inaccuracy in units and time periods etc.. but anyway all they needed to do was provide a LOTR type style game with better graphics, support like warcraft3 or atleast half as much, and new or improved features.
i know i'm not that smart, as you can tell by the way i type, but com'on how long do i have to wait for a decent RTS game with a nice campaign and good support. i'll be to old or have kids to worry about by the time one comes out and than i'll have NO TIME to play games or won't be interested!:-(
