I can't wait !

[Plumo]

[mynameisowen]

Awesome video update, its a shame you guys got someone who didn't know anything about the mod doing it though! I knew more than that guy =P

Great work though and thanks a lot.

[Hobbes]

Just watched the TWN video. Very interesting!

[Los San Patricios]

Awesome video indeed. I really love that you have apparently got names for PSFs to work, I only knew you where trying. The large amounts of PSFs are really cool, but with names they are less confusing to me which makes them even better!
Man, I really can't wait to play now.

[The Awesome Boy]

Awesome video! Can´t wait to play it!

[metsikhovne]

shall we wait for game until new year?

[Hengest]

Yeah we are knee deep in work right now. Honestly, there will be no 'Christmas love' gimmicks. It will be released when it's done. Again sorry for the delays and disappointments for release dates. I'm well aware that we are already 3 months overdue.

All the long hours of PSF setting I feel for you guys.... take your time, no rush.

[Resurrection]

I would like to drop a line about what I have been up to lately.

Not to bore you with the details of our development but many of your are probably aware we are operating using SVN, google spreadsheets to gather research and actual coding/modding. So far we have been divided between researchers who gathered information and coders who implemented the information. This has been a weak spot for entire development and the actual reason why it's not yet done. People come and go and if certain key member leaves it is hard to replace him if was a coder solely working on one important file...

Well I am currently putting together a system which would allow the modding to be automatic using the research gathered by anyone on the team regardless of modding experience. As long as the information is in the right format it will can be directly exported and then implemented into our files with a push of a single button. Once it is up and running it will greatly enhance our performance so we will no longer be subject to people coming and leaving as anybody can use this system for their contributions.

We may release the system along the DotS later to allow easier sub-modding etc. without the possibility of breaking things which is likely given the nature of the mod and many non-standard things and approaches used.

So stay tuned as always. :-)

Thank you Dots team for all the work you have done making this mod can't wait to play it.

[Leesin]

These years of waiting are soon going to pay off and I am looking forward to it very much, time to install M2TW again.

[Obi Wan Asterix]

What exactly does this release constitute? Is it a full campaign?

[The excited one]

happy new year (and even though its 2 weeks late) and i m eager for the awesome release of this mod which makes CA completely ashamed itself on why they make games such as m2tw as well as rtw (original ones are crap without mods)

[postm00v]

I disagree. I really liked RTW, and I still do. CA is a company, and companies need to make a profit. Modders do this stuff all in their free time, meaning they have all the time in the world without the stress of a deadline. I agree that MTWII wasn't that great though, but still was a good game.

Compare RTW or MTWII to games as Homefront or Dead Island, which were incredibly overhyped and a total letdown. I think you need to cut CA some slack.
