    Yeah. I guess I'm a die-hard. MTW is one of my all-time favorite games and I still play it. I bought Rome and didn't like it, so when I want to get my Total War on, I roll back my video drivers and load up good ol' MTW.

    I don't see myself buying any more Total War games, but they seem to be doing just fine without me, and I'm quite happy modding and playing the one that I like, so no hard feelings on my part.

    As far as why I like MTW better, I don't know how to get into that without sounding like I'm bashing the newer games, which I don't want to do. I should just say that I like the game for the tactical aspects of the battles and the strategic aspects of the campaign map. It's all about gameplay for me, and nice graphics or cool new features are just no substitute.

    Of course, that's just my opinion and I'm sure there are plenty who prefer the newer games, and since I'm not allowed to have them shot, I've decided to pretend like that's a valid point of view.

    I still play MTW from time to time, but am trying to move on to Rome. M2TW I'm not intending to get until it's been patched a few times.

    I haven't got any hardware need with MTW2, as I have a good video card that allows me to play at 1280x1024 on maximum level of detail.
    This said, I've played with MTW2 two campaigns, Venetians and Russians and then I've uninstalled it.
    Currently I'm playing and modding MTWVI that I find, by far, more enjoyable than the other.

    Cheers

    My PC won't run it either, I forgot to mention that. For me it'll have to wait until I can upgrade and until the game has been patched a few times. I don't want to get into this sort of situation:

    If I had had the hardware to run Rome (let alone MTW2), I´d have moved there straightfoward from Shogun instead of looking for a cheap offer in Ebay of MTW:VI

    I'm stuck with MTW:VI, I love too much the viks! :-)

    I started a Rome campaign yesterday. The game is fairly different. I don't have a real opinion yet, but the game seems to be different... so I don't think that I'll quit MTW:VI for M2TW which looks much like Rome (but lags too much on my computer...). I guess I could be playing both...

    I'm not in the "mod mood" though... I still play vanilla.

    I have M2TW, but I need to upgrade my machine to fully appreciate it, so I'm waiting for now (also want it patched as much as possible). I did not like Rome, the battles were too quick and easy, and the campaign map was just a chore to deal with. I have no problems playing MTW for a while yet, and I'm even looking into getting STW, which I never played.
