While I think that there is some of that 'wow!' factor when you find a new game type I don't think you will play that game for years if it isn't right in many other respects. It seems that STW and MTW got it RIGHT, while RTW doesn't quite. I admit that I love the look of RTW and if that is what turns you on then you will love it. However, if you play for the tactical challenge of doing battle ON the battlefield, then RTW is really in sorry shape. I think with some effort by CA and someone stepping up and creating a Medmod type mod for RTW then it could be the best CA game ever. But right now it is boring and that is the worst indictment of a game I could ever bring.
