Afraid you're right Tim,

They went glitz. They just overhauled the graphics. Collective jaws were supposed to drop "Wow! Look at that guy go flying!" and that's that. Wish they had just moderately improved the MTW graphics and concentrated on advancing the AI, Diplomacy, historical detail and immersion aspects. Modders have made a valiant effort but I have a feeling that the TW series has taken a permanent fork in the road. Too bad because it was one of the few worthwhile games out there. Can't help feeling that Activision had a large part in this.

Back to MTW for me too. Hope modders haven't given up on it!

BTW RINGO, Bush's IQ is higher than Kerry's...kind of in keeping with the glitz over substance gripe many here seem to have.
