    Default let's start a petition or something to change the name

    The change was terrible, someone make a petition to tell them to make it normal.

    Would do it myself but I got to be somewhere in 2 minutes.

    Oh yes. The name change keeps me up at night. I can not live in a world where the order of the words are different.

    I prefer the old way as well, it just sounds better - but come on mate, it's not exactly something to bring up a petition about, is it?

    Honestly it doesn't matter. Literally everyone I know (and IGN included) have been calling it Rome Total War 2

    Rome II Total War > Rome Total War 2 > Anything that starts with total war instead of ending with it.
    I mean...Medieval II Total War was a catchy title. Medieval Total War 2 on the other hand would have been less catchy.
    And Total War Shogun II...I was like "what? Is this some sort of play on engrish sentence structure?"

    Actually, I think the game's name is Total War: Rome 2. So it begins with TW.
    RTWRM - back to basics

    Huh. I didn't even notice the change until you mentioned it; I was reading it the right way in my head.

    Total War: Rome 2 makes sense, from a steam point of perspective, as they can catalogue all the total war games together in a list.

    Total war:....
    Total war:...
    etc

    And, to be honest, it helps when trying to find the particular title you're looking for. So, apart from being clean, tidy and efficient your argument is..?

    I agree. Let's change the name to 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Black Ops Zombies 4', then with the money from pre-orders alone, CA can employ everyone on this forum as co-developers.
    A new mobile phone tower went up in a town in the USA, and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cellphone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health.

    A local administrator was asked to comment. He nodded sagely, and said simply: "Wow. And think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational."

    I am liking the bit where we all get hired, though with all of us hired we would either make the greatest game on the planet or we would squabble and argue to end of eternity

    It's terrible that I just found out about R2 today, was hoping for a good night's sleep.

    Every TW gamer I know uses the right order, and some random cool guy at my local Gamestop thinks the current order is ridiculous, and IGN is to the video game community as a stick of anise floating in mineral water is to root beer.

    I don't recall anyone once thinking M2 or Rome were series on their own and that TW was just a subtitle.

    Because none of that is fun! In fact, it's the opposite of fun! It's boring!

    Plus you can still find M2, ETW, and Nappy if you look up "Total War" on Steam.

    Hm, that would probably work if you changed it to "Call of Modern Warfare: Nazi Zombies 4: Black Ops" because of licensing.

    Coherency and I don't see eye to eye.

    Official acronym needs to be R2:TW.

    Come on, make it a segregation of Total War players, like the old fans will ALWAYS ALWAYS address the game in (blahblahblah) Total War while the new guys, noobish circular monkeys of spamfest who just know the game calls it Total War (blahblahblah)

    Imagine 1 day like when it became a TW Forum tradition or something when people who've played Total War games for a long time will ALWAYS ALWAYS address it (blahblahblah) Total War & some new guy make a thread & asked "Why do people keep calling it (blahblahblah) Total War when it should be Total War (blahblahblah)? Imagine how many laughs we can get from that?
