Believe it when I see it, keep in mind these are the same people who said don't play MTW2 the way you played RTW or you will lose. Which while playing like rome may have slightly hindred you it was hardly DRASTIC. Yes the AI used ranged weapons more, and yes the AI counter charged, but you could still use the basic rush all to win most battles.
I've seen the videos, despite the few screenshots of volleyfire exchanges, the videos have alot of infantry charging, calvary charging, duels, etc. I am all for infantry charging....tactically. I just think there should be some factions (England, France, maybe Prussia) who would win more through volley fire exchanges and some factions who it would make sense to do the horde charge thing (Russia, etc)
Since you can garrison inside buildings, and put up your own fortifications, I assume these two aspects will alleviate the old charge mentality.
That said, the longbowmen of mtw2 had spikes, and they never seemed that useful
