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.
