Now or later?

If "now" means November, I say "now".

Think about it, since the MT2W engine is an evlolution of the completely new RTW engine, it shouldn't be quite as buggy as RTW was on release (which I didn't think was too bad anyway). Balancing is another issue entirely. I expect it to be rather poor. As far as I'm concerned, the features are the most important, as they're unlikely to change after release. Balancing issues can always be addressed.

Im eager, desperately eager to play MTW2, however, when i bought rome, that completely took over my life, and it still is, because ive both expansions, and numerous mods (after discovering this glorious forum :)) and theres that many mods i still want to play, that i dont really want MTW2 out this very minute, so i can finish the other games, and so the CA can iron out all the problems

Sounds funny given that the Gothic 3 Alpha was almost unplayable one month before release but the Gold Master played by one magazine is supposed to be almost bugfree.
Now you say "MTW2 is a bit rough around the edges" and think it needs a lot of work to be done. Of course it depends on the programmers and cause of bugs, but I think some bugs or whatever you mean with being rough(I have no idea about bugs in the game from the information I got) may be easier to solve than most people think.
I voted they should take their time anyway since I want a new CPU before getting M2TW so they can just as well optimise until November next year or so.

atm I don't have the money for it anyway so let them take their time. Next to that all they're doing now mainly is bugtesting. I believe that once they've taken out the first bugs, that part (custom battle, maybe small campaign) will come out as Demo, while they continue to bug test.

Oh, don't tell me that (G3) is coming out soon? Well there go my evenings for the forseeable future!

As for M2TW the release date, we are still almost 2 months away from the presummed date so I think they have so time for QA'ing and polishing yet...
