Well, as I see nothing about it on the forum, I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only one who is deathly bothered by this, or if it's something that goes better with the newer units/upgrades.
But right now, I'm really scratching my head : is this just me or are the battle horribly lacking punch ?
What I mean with that, is that for now, I've the ugly feeling of watching a slow-motion fake battle each time I'm in a fight.
The movement speed is alright - perhaps even barely too fast, but really no problem -. But the charge and battle, oh my... The lack of ENERGY !
In RTW, when infantry charged, it was a rush, shouts, clash, people falling and being projected (well, in fact, the "flying people" was quite ridiculous) and pushed aside, some falling under the impact. You could tell and see the intensity and fury of the fight.
Here, in MTW2... It's a bit like in a soft dream...
I tell my troops to charge... They slowly gain momentum... They "charge" the enemy, but even the movement seems to be in slow motion (the moves of the units are really like it's been suspended in the air while slowly faking it's running). When they close with the ennemy, they slow down, rather than accelerate, and they finish by landing softly on the ennemy, taking care not to push him too roughly
Not even a crash sound.
Yeah, the "flying bodies" are removed, as are the "jumping horses", and that's alright, because the former was quite ridiculous, and the latter quite exagerated.
But come on, now they don't even trample the foe, they push them aside slowly and softly. It's like if all the mass has been removed, and two units charging at each other look like some hundred of feathers being cast at one another...
The fights themselves lacks violence, impact, energy, roughness.
So is it just ME, or is this whole lethargy thing also grieving the game experience for some others ?
Because I've some beefs with the game, I've many great things about it, but honestly, this softness and lack of punch is by far the worst thing, and it's really killing the game for me.
