Well Tamur,
After doing your own outburst do you feel any better? Since you chose to quote from two of my posts I feel entitled to reply.
I described one battle and went on to say 'I gave up playing after that.' What you fail to grasp is the fact that I have played the entire TW series since its release; that 'one battle' was the final straw after watching the game deteriorate progressively. When the AI becomes so inept that an army of 800 cannot beat one unit does that leave much anticipation of any real challenge for the rest of the campaign?
Just so you will know, as you left the boards in 2004, I made many positive posts regarding RTW and you must realise that there have been many suggestive posts aimed at CA. We have been told that the AI is being worked on for MTW II but that is all they will say. Why? What is wrong with expanding on this statement? Nobody expects trade secrets, just some reassurance that the battefield AI will operate cohesively would be very welcome. I am sure there are many who would rather hear this news than see a new unit per week. As for my other quote that you have used, I'll ask you a question.
What would you rather see, a repetitive clip of some spy or an AI that actually is a bit intelligent?
