And you don't notice the imbalance?
Of course I do. Ive complained that spears are almost useless since Ive started playing. Ive learned to live with it

Sorry to drop in (as a non-MP-player), but even if a game takes only 30min - instead of the 40min that Puzz3D mentioned - that would translate into playing 4-5 years of playing 8 hours each and every day
That it does. Hows this, I once went 19 months without missing a single day of playing. I would average 8 to 10 hours a day. Many a time playing 16 or 17 hours a day on weekends . Once I was hiy by a car and taken to the hospital during that period. I was pretty badly hurt and spent about 12 hours there. They medicated me up and sent me home. As soon as i got there I went online I didnt do so good in the condition I was in.

Until MTW2 came out MTW/VI was the only game I ever played for over 4 years.

Yes Ive certainly gotten my monies worth from it and am continuing to do so.
