    Like others I'm going to hold back with reservation until MTW2 is proven to be a worthy successor. MTW is nearly perfect already, just needs a few additions to the battleground controls and a better diplomacy system. I wish the campaign map would actually be a 3D map instead of a Civilisation/Lords of Magic 3D landscape.

    I'm switchin' for sure. I'm (hopefully) building a new computer this summer - if DX10 comes out, that is. If not, I'll just wait until that and Longhorn do, then build a comp and run M2TW on DX9 emulation, as it certainly doesn't look like it'll be a DX10 game. Either way, I hope to render those 10,000 troops at a buttery 40+ FPS. If the only game I ever played was MTW, I might not switch, but I'm a big fan of Day of Defeat and Half-Life 2 and other shooters, and those demand a pretty beefy rig to run.

    I, like many others, will wait - mainly as I haven't lost interest in MTW/VI yet. Also I want to do RTW/BI and I haven't even brought those yet. The other big reason to wait is that the price comes down so quickly - if you brought RTW and BI as new it cost you over £50 - but the combo set is out now for as low as £23 - so, being a cheapskate, i will wait a bit!!

    Like many others, I may have to wait for a new computer to be able to play it. The games I do play are fairly old, so I'm happy with what I have.

    If the AI is much better than MTW, and the diplomacy is varied and cleverly implemented to give many more options, I will probably be tempted to make the move. The eye candy looks lovely, but I can live without it.

    None of this is what CA wants to hear of course, as devotees saying 'wait-and-see' doesn't pay the bills...but then the bills I have to pay don't allow for buying a new computer to play a game
