They are behind World of Tanks, which in my experience is the worst type of f2p games, where you literally have golden bullets that make a huge difference.

Not something to look forward to in strategy games.

hm ye I used to play WoT alot,

Well since EA is making Generals 2 F2P aswell, I am well afraid that Total Annihilation 2 might not be as good, but who will know what those bela russkies are upto with that game, especially what would happen with spring community as well the legacys

yup, they are removing all pay to win aspects on their current and future games.

Mostly because they want to go with WoT and WoP to esports.

Btw i have a lot of respect for the development team, they are very young, cool headed and with shitloads of money to spend, whats not to like.

I for one wouldnt mind a TA 2 from them, at least its not like end of nations from trion worlds(i hate what their conception of strategy, MOBA-RTS.....).

They also brought the Master of Orion license. I hope they don't fuck it up.
