I have to admit I hated RTW and as soon as I started playing the MTW2 Gold Demo I could tell I would like it. Everything seems like the old MTW, but with new flashy graphics and a better engine. To my surprise I lost my first 2 battles (Agincourt & Otumba), but I tried again today and won them both on average victorys so I was pretty chuffed. I loved how the game ran, although I am getting a new GPU to ensure maximum graphical delight as this one can only just manage low at a smooth rate :D Can't wait to get the full game, I've preordered it to avoid dissapointment. I only wish that I'd heard about the game a lot later than I did because the anticipation is somewhat extreme :D

Overall, really looking forward to this game, haven't looked forward to one as much as MTW2 for some years. Fingers crossed it will deliver, and if it does, I don't think I will be going out of my house for several months/years :D (maybe exaggerated slightly)
