    At a new top-secret (non-CA) location, surrounded by lots of steel and glass, high atriums, hordes of lovely marketing ladies, and with a new and spacious desk with plenty of room for body-moving.

    For the record, Paradox is about the same size as CA, and possibly slightly larger, judging from the company mugshot on their website.

    Might be Jerome. Ah well never mind my rant, i am just so disapointed by the MP side. Dont get me wrong, RTW is a good game, but in SP. Last 2 years, TW games MP was my bread and water. I am starving right now .............

    I still fail to see how this make acceptable your agressivity and rudeness toward CA.
    You could have made these complaints politely and respectfully.
    If violence didn't solve your problem... well, you just haven't been violent enough.

    Again, no offense meant to anyone, but this game is designed single player with mp as an option. This is a campaign game. And I'm sure the vast, vast majority of buyers will never attempt mp. We just never hear from the "silent majority". They generally don't frequenst forums, whereas, multiplayers do. Squeeky wheel? The devs will never recoupe their investment with the mp market. It must appeal--and sell to--the single player. My favorite online game is also published by Activision, Call of Duty and it's expansion. I bet the production cost difference between COD and RTW is staggering. COD's single player is good, but very short. It is meant for the mp market. And it does that very well. I believe if CA puts all of their patching effort into mp, they may end up losing their shirts. Again, this isn't meant to create any annomosity, just a purely commercial observation.

    Cod is also my favorite online game as well ,because it's just so easy to get into.A click and you're into it.
    RTW on the other hand ,I have to say are not very newbie friendly at all in my experience.
    My attempt at getting a game the other day was a little frustrating ,as every time I clicked on a game ,it asked for a password.
    So maybe the community should be doing their bit as well ,and being a bit more open to the outside world.
    Seemed a good opportunity to get that rant in.
    That's it.

    Spending more than 200 $ over 3 years is a good enough reason to voice my displeasure. I didn't say anything rude, or impolite. Or maybe when i say they piss on us ? Well haven't you feel the drop fell when you bought RTW ?
