Spartan??

This new direction CA is taking is interesting. I think they just wanted a slice in the console market and see if they make ooodles. The RTW expansion will probably be released soon after Spartan, I don't think CA gave up on the PC market, its still one of the best (Its #5 on Gamespy Most Popular Games). And you dont develop an engine for one game and let the modders do the rest. So no fear there, we'll see more of Total War.

But the reality is if a company wants to make a ton of cash in the PC market, it has to be through an online game that players pay to every month. Blizzard must make millions a just through World of Warcraft alone.

Still I'm too much a Total War fan not to try Spartan. But maybe play it through an emulator, hopefully there would be one working by then.

A competition for Spartan: God of War (PS2)
"God of War tells the story of a Spartan bloke named Kratos... your mission, as given to you by the gods, is to find Pandora's Box to kill that pesky and titular god of war, Ares..." -Gamespy

i think this will pay up big for CA and the Total War series!

All of us on here own at least 1 TW game. And i think that most of us will buy Spartan just to see what its like! i know im going to as it looks awesome!!!! So i think it will well very well, and also people who don't have any TW games and buy Spartan might get into it and buy some other TW games.
