Honestly it seems to be a mixed bag of impressions.

Some people are saying the AI is greatly improved and offers up a challenge while others say it's just as bad as rtw's. It's really hard to tell who's right as both sides cannot be correct. The only way I can be sure is to get the game myself, but being stuck waiting on the US countdown to unlock isn't exactly easy.

Looking forward to Orgah's reviews, as they are always the most thorough. That other place is like trying to fish information out of a bunch of kindergarteners.
I know what you mean. Most of the .Orgahs i've talked to have (thus far) been satisfied with ETW, I'll know for sure what I'll be later this morning after my download is done. For now all I can do is wait.
