This game will suck, flame all you want but the whole combat system is way to boring and flawed. The 1-2-3 directional system is not anything innovative, its a step in the wrong direction. Mark my words, this game WILL suck.
I for one was hoping to jump into AoC and try out WAR when it came out. The AoC delay will make me more prone to invest my time into WAR instead of AoC. I think a lot of people are in the same boat as me.
