Most awesome news ever

specific point:

the additional time will also allow The Creative Assembly to implement the underlying technology for a much desired feature: a multiplayer campaign mode

Could this be the most awesome news ever?

I believe so, if there was one thing I always wanted from the total war series, was to play the campaign online!

Only downside is it seems to be 1v1 only. My deepest desire is to wage a Bismarck like series of treaties with other humans in an online campaign as isolate my foe and then crush him.

Right who wants to go first?

That does have to be up there as the most awesomest news ever :eek:
Currently playing another Rome: Total Realism campaign, first one in over a year, deadly game, was discussing multi player total war earlier this week, can't wait.

If its delayed to add more content thus giving them time to work over flaws found during multiplayer testing then I'm all for it !

If there's a pbem option, it is undisputedly the most awesome news ever.

Yeah its delayed because of the feature being added in the original post.

Just in case you missed this tidbit the actually multiplayer campaign mode being added for release is actually a beta version. So the quality of this campaign mode may not be up to stratch from release. But being a beta you would allow that though.
