The combat looks very good, and the finishing moves aren't half as gamey as I feared. Perhaps the soldiers expose themselves a little to much when striking, but it isn't worse than R:TW's jumping soldiers. Which are also in, I notice. The only worrying thing I noticed was that infantry still runs too fast. I suppose CA has to take into account the opinion of those who don't want to wait five minutes before engaging in combat, but for me the rushing of R:TW is distinctively less enjoyable than the slow, measured battles of its predecessors. Instead of an arcade mode, may I suggest a realism mode for M2:TW?
