These boards are a cavalcade of serial complainers. Metacritic is in the mid 90's. The game looks friggin awesome and Mine is installing now

I went into MTW2 with reservations, I have none with this game, and suspect it will be a critics darling. Not being able to go into the files and unlock all the factions does trouble me, but I'm not gonna cry about it like everyone is on the boards.

I was referring more to the problems people are having running and installing the game. I try to take reviews from critics or players with a grain of salt. It does look awesome. The reviews i've read say that the AI is greatly improved which was my biggest concern. They also say the naval battles are mediocre at best. That's not really a big deal to me. I guess I'm just not that excited about it because of the time period. I much prefer Medieval warfare. I'm more excited about Broken Crescent 1.5 and Third Age: Total War. I'm sure once the modders get their hands on it I will be more excited.

I was excited untilI played the demo, only to find that I hated the gameplay. I think it's mostly the time period for me, and I didn't like the melee, it looked way too fast. But this is just me, I'm sure this is great for anyone who really like that time period.
