Buy now or wait for the patch?

I would wait. I haven't touched the campaign game for two weeks because of all the problems. Done a lot of custom battles testing units etc which of course also wants sorting out. The way things are going you may pick up a copy in the sales as I have just read it has dropped to no.10 in the Gamespot games sales chart. All very sad.

I say get it. There are workarounds to most of the bugs and the game is a solid improvement over RTW, especially if you liked MTW.

M2TW was definitely a little rushed. The game should never have been allowed out the door with the cohesion and other formation bugs. Many features also seem incomplete (armor upgrades, armor penetration values for different weapons). But except for the 2-handers, most of the other units affected (knights, guns, maybe pikes) still work pretty decently. While the game is perhaps the most buggy TW ever released, it also features the most improvements and perhaps the best TW experience so far. I tear my hair out much less playing M2TW than RTW.

I wonder which period they will visit in the next TW. TW2142?

I got the game and i played it like a heroin addict. Then i read 1000 posts about bugs and stopped playing it because i had a crazy thought that the bugs destroyed the game. After a few days i started another game to see what bugs destroyed the game and i got addicted to heroin again.

I got frustrated so I reloaded MTW and am enjoying that more. I do yearn for the better graphics but the game play is way better on the original.
