Matewis: Though perhaps its not actually the worst sequel actually. That 'honor' might belong to
Commandos Strike Force, but since I haven't played it yet I'm not sure.
Breja: I guess that as a sequel to the previous Commandos games it's kinda like what I said about World of Warcraft, though on it's own I actually thought it was a solid FPS. But maybe I was just never invested in the series enough to care about the "betrayal" - I always liked the various Commandos clones like Away Team and Robin Hood Legend of Sherwood more than Commandos series itself.
Yeah, I was heavily invested in the series right from the start, so even when Commandos 3 turned back the dial I was already heavily disappointed. And then they decided to make a multiplatform Commandos game... queue passable fps... series dead...
I'm also a huge Warcraft fan btw, with Warcraft 3 being my alltime favorite rts. At least due to the series' crazy popularity there still is an outside chance of seeing a Warcraft 4? But I'm really worried after SC:WoL which to me told a cliched story that utterly failed to engross me, especially when compared to Warcraft 3's tale and characters.
Though perhaps more worrying is what WoW did and keeps doing to the lore. I don't know what story they could tell with 4. For instance the Arthas story I would've loved to wrap up in a proper rts sequel, but no, that story now concludes in a WoW raid :P What's more, the conclusion of Arthas' epic tale suffered the wrath of MMO story telling [spoiler alert for what it's worth - from wowwiki] :
"His (Arthas) plan nearly succeeded
when a group of adventurers led by Tirion Fordring finally ascended to the Frozen Throne and did battle with him after Horde, Alliance and Ashen Verdict forces assaulted Icecrown Citadel"
However you must forgive me :) I will contend that WoW is a good game, especially the vanilla zones. I only spent about 5 months in the game post Wrath of the Lich King, but my time in the vanilla zones especially created some unforgettable moments. They really managed to capture the Warcraft feel (again, in the vanilla zones). Strolling through Elwynn Forest for the first time with this
tune marks one of my favorite moments in gaming ever.
