View Poll Results: Is Medieval 2 Total War
Voters: 75. This poll is closed
I am going to post this here, as i presume most people who have m2tw will be here. my question is, is m2tw worth buying for a rtw lover like myself? the roman era draws me in more, and i dont know whether i should get m2tw when there are mods out there like crusades total war. does any one have any suggestions?
Yes. It is much improved over Rome, even if it does come with it's own fair share of equally loving bugs.
Yeah it is a good game that will get better and better once the initial bugs are sorted.
It is a step up from RTW.

MTW2 may be worth buying when the game stopping bugs are fixed with a patch but right now it is a seriously broken game. I don't recommend anyone buying a game that was released with such poor quality.
it is worth buying...
as far as veresov's comments, my expeience has been different...
i am playing on a machine barely meeting the minimum reqs on low to medium settings ( i think this is only a factor in tactical mode), and i have only had one crash during a tactical siege battle. error message said it was due to my grafix set too high...

try Chivelry mod for RTW instead.. the AI should be better too ;)
Not at the price that's currently being charged for it in around here.
I think I'll wait a few months until the bugs have been fixed, a couple of good mods are out and the price has dropped substantially.

As for the question, I certainly hope its worth buying, since I just ordered it.
yes. it's worth buying of course if u like turnbase and real-time battle game at the same time, on top of which this game stands in the world.
As far from the vote, however you guys easily raised ur thumb saying this current build better than RTW. we have yet to see the upcoming patch at the promised date. otherwise we can't say this is better than RTW at least gameplay, M2TW deals with different age, different historical environment though. it has still MUCH MORE lots of thing to be fixed. what r u hoping the designers to do for the patch? or nothing?

I am a huge fan of the TW series, especially Medieval TW. At first, when i heard about the upcoming release of M2TW, i was very excited. Then after the official release, and after a read the first impression, my excitement got a bit tempered because of the bugs that were present, and because of the fact that the game runs smoothly only on monster computers (wich mine is not)
. But, then i thought that this bugs will definitely be fixed by a patch, and anyway the christmas is near so i'll make myself a present by upgrading my comp, or even by a new one. So i think that in the end i will most certainly be buying this game.

Yes....2 thumbs up 
YES, It's the best TW game so far and yes there are some things to iron and to open the game for moddings. After a couple of patches and few mods will become even better.
I was unsure about buying M2TW for a while. I was going to wait for some patches and perhaps some upgrades to my poor besieged PC. But I've bought it anyway. On impulse whilst looking for a birthday present for my mother. Hmm, wonder if she'll want this game? Not installed it yet though. Having too much fun with a heavily modded Jagged Alliance 2, and there's still some mileage to get from RTW. I have to find a spare 11 Gigs of hard disk space too. :( So could be a while til I get around playing it. But the lure of an updated TW game set in Medieval times is hard to resist.
Is M2TW worth buying?
A qualified yes is my answer. As long as CA works out most of the bugs with a couple of patches then absolutely! Even with the bugs I am having a lot more fun with M2TW than I did with RTW and BI.
Also, if CA, or some bright light in the community, finds a way to let us alter the battle models M2TW has the potential for a long lifespan of gaming and mod playing enjoyment.
I would add one thing though. Try to make sure you have a system that can at least handle the medium settings of M2TW. Mine can handle the higher settings and its just so much more visually amazing than RTW. This game is just so beautiful to watch that I have lost battles because I got wrapped up in the magnificent panorama of it all.
I was never a big fan of graphic goodness before but, now that my system can handle it, with the rest of the pieces in descent shape it just adds so much to the experience.

Worth every penny and more..., better as MTW and if patched right STW.
