You're missing out on the biggest thing to rape your so called tactic. Archers. Plus, nobody in their right mind on multiplayer would have and melee units charge that. They just put their bowmen right across from them and the pikes would be torn to shreds. The AI might be stupid enough to head for you, but not a human.
... Napoleon developed a square formation to fend off cavalry, right? It's the same concept, but in this case it is stupid and linear.... These pikes would be annihilated by a force with a variety of troops...
