anyone else looking forward to the best RTS game ever made! :D

A game from a movie...

This very, very rarely works.

No, but I've seen good trailers that have turned out to be shit. Graphics don't make a game.

gah, i didnt mean the trailer. the executive producer of the game showed off a playable demo at E3 this year and it looks amazing. and i dont mean the graphics either. each individual unit has its own personal AI so they react realistically to different situations, and such. but, if you dont belive me download the movie from file planet

so like when an orc slashes a guy might stab to survive or something? is that what you mean by individual AI?

oh, and my computer will be perfect for it. 2700 bucks well spent, since it is still in the top rate for games even though its 7 months old. :P although we did have a thunderstorm and the hardrive fried since my surge protector wasnt strong enough... :cry:

aw that sucks. but, yeah. say you send a troll in to break up a gondor footmen group. well, the gondor soldiers will break into units and use tactics to deal with the new threat better. and if you send a balrog to kill a bunch of footmen, they'll tremble with fear because of how powerful the enemy is.

sound good...whens it releasing?

But it is probably not accurate to the books. See the Balrog are demons and would never show themselves in the daylight. Thats why the Balrog in Moria did not come to Saurons bidding. The Balrog are a Old kind of evil not like Sauron because Sauron is conrtol by the Evil Valor, Morgoth. The Balrog are equivilent to Morgoth/Sauron. I win...

and how many of the millions of Middle Earth books have you read, i pray!?

essentualy, the Balrog are evil lords of their own and do their own bidding. What "battle" is this game talking about?

ergh, read my post! its being made with the movie licenses!

8 and counting...but i got most of what I know form the Silmallarion.

But Tolkien is dead and his son just wants the money. Middle-Earth is a rich world and is not to be altered or changed.

hush. this isnt about the nuances of the LOTR universe. i just wanted to have a discussion about the game

And i ask again...what battle is this Talking about(Pellinor fields, Helms deep, Bywater, etc.)

all of em. you can determine your own outcomes to the battles, like have the orcs destroy minas tirith

Has any one heard or the game "Middle Earth Online"? Its kind of a rpg game but with millions of gamers. YOu create your own fellowships and meander around Middle-Earth slaying orcs with your band of choosen friends. :D

Strategy right?

Strategy right?

yes

So you just have missions or you kill aimlessly? :twisted:

LMAO I'm sorry but you must be kidding. The best RTS is going to be Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. No resources, no damned necrons, and no need to worry. In a standard RTS your entire game relys on your weakest man who will always be in a predictable spot leading to very easy victory for a player who can sneak in and destroy the peons... A game without that means a lot more players will be forced to use tactics, or play as orks. :D

DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR!

So you just have missions or you kill aimlessly? :twisted:missions

I hate it when they make gmaes contradictory to the origanal manuscripts... :(
