NW is better!
I actually have to agree. I thoroughly enjoyed playing MM but the melee was a bit simple. This is a lot harder and makes things more interesting. I do however find, that pubbing is a lot less enjoyable in NW. Perhaps it's the maps or just the fact that all the good players in MM were on the Official servers and now are on private servers (GF). All in all though, I do prefer NW melee. And don't get me wrong, it's not because I am better at it than I was at MM melee, I was pretty good with both. I just prefer things like the new overhead.
Also, good luck with this. NA could use something like it...
