I agree the whining can be unnecessarily excessive, but it is just a sign of how disappointing RTW was for the hardcore TW fans. It was just miles away from the TW gameplay we got used to. So what can you expect?

This is what happens if a developer chooses to aim for a different (younger) market over it's original fanbase, and changes the gameplay accordingly. What did they expect? Everyone saying "oh it's hardly the realistic and tactical game we expected from the series, but hey it's refreshing!"?

The only way CA can regain the faith of their old fans is by moving MTW2 back to the original gameplay. I have reasons to believe this is going to happen, so I'm quite optimistic. That and that alone will stop (most of the) "whinging"
