A Modern Total War? (Discussion, Oppinions)

[Polemists]

The dreadful art of counter quotes. Okay people be prepared Remeber I do this with my happy nice face on :)

Thats not the reason to say that it cannot be done. Just say that YOU dont WANT it to be done.

I didn't say Can't. I said

Again it's not narrowedmindness it's just what I and others like

So youre saying that this cannot be done during 1900-1945? Are you sure?

Didn't say can't. Stated none of those things exsisted in World in Conflict, again my point is they could do it, but I don't think it would be very fun.

Your hatred towards advanced gunpowder era clearly fogs you vision....You cannot be serious in saying that WWII had no tactics...Oh and WiC has nothing to do with either RA3 or DoW....which are mere sad and pathetic Dune2 clo(w)nes....

Actually I love the gunpowder era, which is what Empire is, and I love empire. I loathe the automatic weapon era.

I never even played dune 2.

Wic has alot to do with RC3 and Dow, more then it has to do with MTW2 I'd wager. As in Dow and RC3 you build bases, in Wic you build bases, and both have abilities you use in combat. I don't recall any base building in total war.

Neither do I thats why I despise all teh Dune2 clo(w)nes that plague the RTS market....

Your reference was World in Conflict, which has a Nuclear Missle ability.

Dune2 clo(w)nes do exactly that...they have this pathetic notion of hitpoints and life bars....one shot is far more tactical...like TW games....

Tw games have hitpoints, they are on all the unit stats. One shot kills can still occur but only with proper tactics. Aka Spearmen v Calvary.

What about people that like both the melee and the gun based combat? I mean CA has dominated the melee RTS market....why shouldnt they expand into the modern era?

If CA wants to expand into modern era and keep making melee rts games as well, kudos, great for them. Currently CA barely makes one game year, one being a total war, and the alternate year being a expansion or a console game. CA does expand into other markets, as shown by the console games. Spartan, Viking, etc.

That said if CA continues with only make one TW game after another. I'd prefer it to be melee and diplomacy based. Not fighting germans and japs yet again.

One final note, and I don't speak for community but this is a respectful community so let's try to keep the name calling on the lower end. I completely disagree with you, but don't feel any hostility towards you. This forum has always been, in my view about respectful debate. So let's try not and piss of the mods by over stepping the line.
