Battle For mIddle Earth.
 

Been olaying this game quite a bit, really good to. Anyone else like it ?

I thought it sucked, played it for a few hours and got totally bored with it. c&c generals > BFME.

I tried it at my friends house, its alright, seems like it could get boring afterawhile.

Unbalanced. Gondor > all, just play turtle until you have 6k, get the almighty Gandalf, game over.

Mordor = cry: You can have all the resources in the world early on, after fire arrows all mordor units are worthless.

Need a patch, bad.

Re: Battle For mIddle Earth.
 

LOL seeing as its ea im suprised there wasn't a patch available for dload before the game hit store shelves, then again they supposodly playtested the shit out of this to get it completly balanced. Seemed to work out well huh oOo:

It looked really cool to me at first, then I suddenly realized it was an RTS...I mean, after watching all the trailers, well, you didnt see any mouse or HUD, so yeah, it looked pretty cool.

I hate RTS's, though. I hate resource managing, and for the action packed sequences, you click on your forces, right click on the enemy forces, and ta-dah, instant victory! I gotta admit, Rise of Nations had me addicted for around a month, though...

I have only played one RTS game in my life, and it sucked. Star Trek: Armada

ha i used to have this, Armada was a shit game compared to other games of its genre!

Hey, Mick, how'd you get the Gmail thing in your sig?

axis and allies>cnc generals

I wanted Axis and Allied a lot until I heard how much suck-a-luck it was. I'm not a big fan of RTS's, but Im always willing to try them out....

...if I cant find any other games, Im gonna get Rome: TW, which to me, looks 5X better than BFME.

Blizzard RTS's/Rome Total War >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> C&C Generals

I tried a Generals demo and hated it. Too much strategy, not enough click click click. Lots of explosions, though, good looking game.

rock: blizzard rules. i loved frozen throne.

Possibly thats whay its a Real Time Strategy game. oOo:

Yeah, and thats the exact reason I hate strategy games. The only tactic I can ever think of is flanking.

there is more than one RTS game out there you know and not all of them need the same tactics...

i got the third age today.

its alright

My friends dad`s friend works at ea games... he got me this game for 25 bux but it was dvd rom , and my dvd rom isnt working cry:

Your friend's Dad is laughing at you right now.

Actually...no hes not... he could care less... he hates games...

Btw...I`ll just use my old computers dvd-rom the_finger:

wallbash:

is this site going slow for anyone else? loney:

nope

oOo:

If you hate resource management but like flanking, then you may wanna take a look at the "Total Wars" series.

Shogun: Total War is still the best of the series.

Personnaly, I like Rome a lot more, battle engine is much more realistic etc. + you can desynchronise the fighting so it becvomes a lot more realistc then the other 2. Only Problem I have with it is that The uunits for the barbareans look horrid.

-BFME, seems to be getting pretty popular, according to the xfire tally a large amount of people are playing it, it was at 6th place in total amount yesterday. I am sure a patcdh should be able to help it out soon.

i recently got rome total war and its awesome. but i can't decide if i like it more then medieval total war. to me both rome and medievial beat shogun hands down. i love the new total war engine, the battle sequences are great...the graphics have been improved alot and i have never seen that many units on a battlefield looking that good with no lag at all. the campaign map looks pretty impresive as well. but some gameplay issues that are different in rome tw are kind of annoying, it might be because i havent been playing it for very long, but some small things are getting to me, like in medieval you could use your spies to bribe armies/cities but so far i haven't been able to do that in rome. im also disapointed that you can't position your ships in the water to allow your armies more movement area, in rome u have to load your army on the ships manually and have to wait for the ship to arrive at the target....which i guess is more realistic but i really liked hoping across the medieval maps like that. but like i said for all i know rome includes both features i just havent read the manuel or actually sat and played it very much, i did the tutorial campaign where you conquer italy and have played a few historical battles...thats it.

oh and btw bfme looks pretty cool, is there a demo yet? i probably won't buy it...but i wanna give it a shot.

I can do that voice almost as well as Serkis can......

When you get online, you will probably face alot of horse archer/barbarien army's. That all most people do online now. A few still play civilizations, bu mostly ones that have phalanxed infantry, People play as Rome as well, but they are pretty much useless if they come up against massiv horse archer army's or anything with massive lines of phalanxes. (Only because most roman armys online are all archer auxila + cohorts + a bit of cavalry.) no skirmishers or horse archers to skirmish back againt the others etc.

I'm in still in two minds about getting this game. I'm not a major RTS fan but LotR gives me the hornburg.

well just to warn you, it comes on a dvd, so if your computer doesn't have a dvd rom, lol
