i look at it like this. if i can join 4 or more player games in rome total war and i cant in mtw2 total war than it has to be a server issue. i have all the good stuff that total war games like. soundblaster and gforce card. amd athlons right now are good processors. i think if it is in some way hardware related it can still be worked around through the sega server to make the 4 player plus games more accessible like they are in rome.

it just makes sense now that i have been thinking about it.
