Frogbeastegg's gold code day comments and early thoughts on M2TW

[hoom]

Agree Econ, my comments were a tangent aimed more towards redriver.

It is indeed heartening to see both CA delivering the goods and a bunch of old orgers liking the way that M2TW is working compared to the situation of RTW where they were all running away screaming in horror

Many comparisons made by vets between RTW (the latest game) and previous titles made absolute sense IMO. To say they were not well judged and to then mention 'modded' versions is 'not well judged' AFAIC. Mods have always improved the game (STW/MI v103, MTW/VI Community Mod, MTW/VI Samurai Mod)
The poor comparisons made by vets were valid because of the state of RTW MP compared with the previous MP experience and this was the major complaint. There could so easily have been a multitude more comparisons/complaints but a huge majority of vets chose to give up on the game. It is far too early to claim MTW II as the be all. A few weeks into MP will uncover any flaws (if they exist) and then we will see just how good this game is.

So far, I see mainly the same people who swooned before release doing the swooning now. When a few more doubters post positive reports I will start to feel more optimistic.Until then, the first impressions I have seen contain very much what I expected. Frogbeastegg has posted a cautiously optimistic, concise report and this approach makes more sense IMO especially since the game has barely hit the shelves. MP reports are looking grim at the moment, will we ever enjoy 4v4 again?
