I think we all know what happened the LAST time CA released a Total War game. It was a beta. It took like 4 patches just to get Medieval 2 working. I hear that's good business practice.
But hey, CA has never hidden how much they despise their own fans.
Maybe one day, i'll care about Armed Assault 2. Until i'm sure Bohemia is actually putting effort into the game this time around, it's just ArmA1 with prettier trees.
