Unless a player has played an equal amount(or there abouts) of both games they really can't argue the tactical difference between the two. People have a tendancy to enjoy the game they played first and to dislike all the rest that aren't 'like' the other. Bias plays a huge factor in people's judgement and that is very apparent in post about this topic. CJM
