Which did you prefer MTW or M2TW?

M2TW has been out about a month now so I was wondering if all you old MTW players have preferred it to the 2002 original or not?

I enjoyed the combat system in MTW much better. Plus MP was supported slightly more. Of course it's always been neglected, but less so back then.

As Zhou Enlai is reported to have said of the impact of the French revolution, it's too early to tell.

Prefer M2TW. There's a better rock-paper-scissors balance in this, heavy shock infantry made spears completely irrelevant in the first one... In this you actually have to field spears.

You are cruel indeed. Discovering the meaning of this encoded message will require more alochol!

I like having the decent animations. They really help the game to go along. Plus the fact of Agents cant move across the entire map in one turn..That really annoyed me.

My Vote goes to M2:TW.

Sorry, missed out an "of". I think it's more a case of me needing my second cup of coffee than of you needing more alcohol.

Back on topic, if CA fixes the "passive AI bug", I'll vote for M2TW. But right now, it's made my English campaign too dull for me to want to persist with.

Voted for Medieval 2: Total War.

Im not one of these new kiddies to gaming. Hell I still go back to Ultima 6,7 and 8 when I want a RPG. Screw Oblivion. But I genuinely believe that Rome was one hell of a leap forward for the Total War series and that MTW2 only improves upon that excellence further.

And lets face it... it's damned gorgeous to
