CA and their games...

[LittleGrizzly]

Apart from Red Orchestra, Shogun and Medieval multiplayer battles were some of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. It's what keeps me hanging around here, hoping they'll find the magic again, despite every new title being more disappointing than the last. You may want to search the forum for Puzz3D's posts, as he knew exactly what went wrong, and how they could have fixed it... very interesting, if not depressing, stuff.

Quoted for truth!

Shogun and Medieval MP were the peak, the most fun I have ever had online bar none.

Unfortunately from my first battle experience in RTW I could tell it would never be the same, I played one or two of the other total wars offline but never again online.

If i could afford to buy the total war franchise puzz would one of the first people i employ, I wouldn't be suprised if he didn't have his speech with the problems with the game memorised by now...

Although the next total war maybe h2h combat I hear, so perhaps there is some fient hope... though I can't help feeling the games been dumbed down slightly for a bigger audience, it took time and effort to learn the tactics required to take down a bigger opponent but if done right a small army could take on one many times its number and this after the learning curve is huge satisfaction, but people don't want a steep learning curve....

Edit: Ok just spread it out and put some extra puncuation in there, bit more readable but its always going to be a difficult read, I type as if im having a conversation with someone but i talk quite strangely and don't quite use puncuation properly (who needs full stops ? commas all the way!)
