Ironically Spartan Total Warrior is where the attacking the gates with normal soldiers started.
I did love the game though.
I don’t ever remember hitting a gate with my sword but that’s an interesting fact!
I think it was the first level where your defending the Walled Sparta and the Romans are trying to break the gate open by attacking it by Sword. Happens multiple times during the Level after the Siege Tower area.
So...the Light's vaunted justice has finally arrived. Shall I lay down Frostmourne and throw myself at your mercy, Fordring?
I liked "Spartan Total Warrior" a lot back on the PS2, I even played "Viking Battle for Asgard" but I have to say besides the unique "Total War strategy series" we are all familiar with... Alien Isolation is without a doubt, the best game they ever made up to this point.
* had to add this
I would really like to see a modern action/fighting game set in Alexander's period or Barbarian Invasion type of thing with the Romans on the defense (similar to Spartan total Warrior on PC). It would be cool if besides fighting, it would have a story, correct arms & armor, details like troops talking to one another, before engaging the enemy (ex Rome II)
Unrelated to their Total War series. The only time I'll be concerned that one might impact the other is if one bombs horrifically and negatively impacts the development funding of the other. Until then, this isn't related in any way.
That being said, they've actually got a pretty good track record in games outside the Total War series. Alien Isolation is a **** masterclass in modern survival horror. And hell Halo Wars 2 wasn't bad all things considered. Like the fact they were told to design an RTS playable with a controller. Control scheme is everything people, the only traditional RTS to get non keyboard mouse controls right was Battle for Middle Earth 2. Stop trying.
And here I thought CA exclusively made Total War games!
Depending on what it is and what platforms it is released on it might be interesting. Doubt it though. Can’t remember the last FPS I bought and played. Maybe the first Metro 2033? Unless you want to count Fallout 4 which I bought because I loved Fallout 1 back in the day.

The office that makes their FP shooters is a different office then the one that works on Total War games. Forgot where I saw it but regardless, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
Neil Blomkamp was to be the director of one of the new Alien movies (Number 5 IIRC) before Ridley Scott got his tired old hands back on them.
Perhaps another Alien universe shooter then? Considering that they've had the licence before and scored big-time with it.

Sega even said there is one Alien shooter game for PC and consoles in development. The sane, which Bloomkamp will look at.
ridley scott is such an ***hole for canceling Bloomkamps vision of an Alien restart. He had the plan to rewrite the story after Aliens and to redcon Alien 3 and 4. Scotts prometgeus is such a bull****
I am relatively certain, that in THIS CASE, separate teams are actually a thing between FPS content and Warhammer Total War :-P
Blokamp eh... I wonder if it's a district 9 based shooter?
Man I really want district 10 so bad. D9 desperately needs that sequel!
Eh waited for a sequel for so long, but the ship has sailed. Blomkamp kind of killed his own career, as he went downhill from D9. Elysium was meh, nothing memorable. Chappie was just bad, and probably what lost him the directorial seat for the Alien sequel.
Was really looking forward for his take on the franchise. Unfortunately it went back to Scott, who made such a terrible movie that tried to over-explain everything and made the whole universe very very tiny (no spoilers!)

Really? Cool! Alien: Isolation is the only horror game that I've ever wanted to play and I enjoyed it furiously. And I've got Aliens vs. Predator in my backlog which I suspect I'll enjoy too.
Recently watched the entire quadrilogy, had seen 1 and 2 before and liked them a lot. 3 was just pointless and 4 was over the top campy nightmare fuel. I kind of liked Prometheus but yeah it definitely doesn't scratch the same itch as a traditional Alien film. Not seen Covenant, nor interested really.
But on topic, @Itharus pretty much hit the nail on the head in this thread. There's no overlap between the folks working on the coming FPS and TW, maybe the marketing folks, but nothing else. Hopefully whatever it is it does well and the company devotes more resources to all of its title because of it.

Wouldn't play an action game even if my life depended on it. As for resources, they are already stretched extremely thin, doubt it could get any worse.
