MTW on 1.0 was practically unplayable due to CTD, at least for me. RTW is much better in that way. It is true that there were way to much bugs in RTW 1.0, but for complex products like this game, I guess it´s hopeless to expect it being tested as thoroughly as required.

What I reject is the claim that "all the MTW veterans don´t like the game". I´ve played thousands of hours MTW and I enjoy RTW a lot. From the vocal group of critics, we cannot infer anything. That´s not to say that CA didn´t make design decisions I don´t like. The kill speed for one is too high. This seriously affects the feeling of battles. It´s unfortunate that CA made this decision, but it´s their game, no one forced me to buy it. It should not be forgotten that RTW does a lot things very much better than MTW.
