    Sadly we don't have much choice, no other high-profile developer is making a game like this.
    What would be ideal is if some other developer who IS interested in making a more realistic and complex game would effectively "steal" the idea and make a better version of it ( am I making sense here? ).

    Mad Minute Games has produced excellent tactical wargames. Then there is HistWar which is also still focusing on a tactical wargame. Both are very small independent developers and do not yet have a strategic game included, but the tactical part is/will be far better than TW.

    I think that CA is starting to lose a segment of market with its current course; the real wargamers will eventually recognize TW as just a fun game, not a game that portrays battle accurately enough to call it a wargame. Just like AoE is not called a wargame. At least that counts for me. When I read an account of a battle and want to replay it in a game I do not turn towards the standard RTS games, and I will probably will not turn to M2:TW with its, from I can see from the videos, unrealistic unit behaviour.
    As a result there will be a gap in the market that is not really filled with "state of the art" games and eventually that will be filled with actually good wargames (HistWar, Take Command at least). A bit like a new generation.

    HistWar Les Grognards looks interesting. When it is coming out?

    I am confident that the larger bugs which people are appalled at (and rightly so) will not be in the final release. Why? Because I don't think CA are idiots, and I think if you can see these bugs from one poor quality video, then they're hardly likely to miss them.

    after reading the "CA bashing" sticky I've decided to stop commenting about MTW2 and RTW problems. I did this hoping that CA would read it and actualy fix the problems. I also did it to compensate the "OMG!!!!111 that looks great!!!" replies I see too often that might give CA the impression that the majority of fans think MTW2 is looking very promising. I was happy to see that many other people agree with me that it doesn't. Not for the hardcore TW fans that want tactical and realistic gameplay anyway. Now I'll just give up on MTW2, and my intensions of making mods for it. A very impressive demo will be necessary to restore my interest in the future of TW series.
