Its all about taste......and most peoples tastes is in their mouth.

Look what music reaches the number one spot or what movies generally are watched the most...people are sheep.

This game could have been set during any era...the fact remains that it is still the best and the only game that you get that feeling of real battle command...but alas....most people would rather listen to the Puff Daddy, watch Pearl Harbour or play C&C than listen to Rage Against the Machine, watch RAN or play STW.(options on the music lol)

The problem I have seen with the MI is how the on-line players have either split or left.......I am talking about players who have been here for over a year....the hardcore....as stated before STW is the best but was it the inventers of football (soccer to the ignorant) that made the game great and last so long?..or was it the players like PELE. BEST and CHALTON?..just like all those who came to play on-line when SP became a drag....they met Magyar, DA FEARS, Demon, CHAOS......RAGE.....etc. The players..makers of web sites...the org...planet....etc..we all kept this game going for most people well beyond its life span......these tini boppers who at the moment are playing the MI on-line will soon die off....and unless we have a patch to make a choice about either playing the type of game we know and love or the C&C moral style they have produced...sadly we will see the old players dissapear.....and then inturn the game will fade...like Puff Daddy and Rambo....where as Bob Marley still sells a shit load of records and 7 Samurai is still watched 40 years later.
