The problem is it is all too late really. I am sure CA are working away right now..but the damage is done.

And there are a number of fatal flaws in the developement of the game..or lack of. It is trying to be a jack of all games, master of none. A strategy game without the tactical depth needed. CA are scared to get stuck into it..and it started with RTW...which I still think at the time was a nice game..

The problem was after 6-12 months..I got sick of it..BI didn't do much either..it was ok..but not amazing. Where we could forgive maybe RTW and the mistakes that made..here there are no excuses. MP saved RTW from total removal..just.

MTW2 is sadly like a Sims 2 expansion pack...a sure fire seller..but getting very tedious. Nothing new here really..and a single line thinking of total war, with limited scope to explore other areas.

A strategy game without challenging AI or strategy is surely doomed.

Some flawed games can cut it even with problems..Oblivion was one. Why because it sucked you in...it worked. To me at least.

MTW2 is a MTW 1 lite..when we needed a real move forward. I hope CA read this stuff...the writing is on the wall guys. Stop trying to dumb things down..and get to the real meat. We don't want to play RTW part 2 medieval theme..been there done that..trying to please the mass audience leaves all less than satisfied.
