LOTR: The Battle for Middle-Earth

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS GAME TO COME OUT!!
it could quite possibly be the best RTS on the planet

ye IGN and Gamespot have really built this one up. hopefully it'll live up 2 expectations. only doubt is the plot points in building rather than creating buildings the old RTS way.

and do unno the system requirements?

It will be warcraft with LOTR skins. The only RTS that has broken away and done somthing better than Warcraft is Rome total war. Rome is one awsome god damn game.

yeah.. war3 is tops.. rome takes too long to battle.. and I prefer age of empires because I like to build my structures and manage everything. not just battling

Dawn of War owns all 😠

thats not true. in TBFME you can have WAY more units, hundreds more.

Its not it has the Command and Conquer General Engine... which all i can say is..... droolio the physics and animation detail possible with it is amazing. It has no unit building limit 😖hifty:

just downloaded a video preview and man, this game is looks very nice. like Raven said it's loaded with detail and character emotion (if a group of gondor soldiers is appraoched by a troll, balrog or nazgul they get sh!t scared and some even run 😉 💃

yeah, i have seen some footage. The game battles look like they will live up to the movie ones.

And the amount of units u can have/the detail on them is very good

anyone played this game yet, cuz its out... but i do not have it.

christmas 😛

I totally own everyone in this game 😂 i beat four peeps in a row on my first try online 😂 Isengard is my fav 😄 they made Mordor suck 🙁 and why doesn't the evil side have walls? 😠 They make better ones then the good side 😠 the wall of Baradur is huge and the Orthanic had a wall to 😠

I just beat the Helms Deep level in the game and i must say that it is one kickass RTS that IS definitely worth your time.
As for why the bad guys do not have walls.... i do not know.

Sounds like a good game, I may need to invest in this.

ive got it and its good

The only thing what sucks is the Bases and Castles in there. Thre way to small and you cant really expand, you have to build where it says.

I saw a screenshot of the Army of the Dead units and buildings, and I'm like, "WOoooooooooooOOOOOOOOOW..."
I really wanted to play Helm's Deep.
Bu my computer is pathetic,...

I'd still rather hear the opinion of a jaded RTS gamer for this game... someone who's been playing RTS's since age of empires 2 preferably.

I dont mean to sound like your opinions are worthless, but saying things like "best ever" and "best RTS on the whole planet" really dont qualify as reinforcement. To me it looks like an RTS with all of the economy aspects ripped clean out and you just play with units.. which takes out a huge chunk of the playstyle.

Well Sats, I've been playing RTS games for quite a while, so perhaps I can give you that opinion you want.

The game itself is pretty good, awesome graphics and some pretty unique aspects to building a base. However, its pace is rather slow. All in all it's a good game, but anyone calling it the best rts game ever hasn't played many. It's nowhere near as good as SC,WC, Dawn of War or Command and Conquer.

😐 i have played RTS's since before i had a comp way back in the SEGA days 😐 I had Dune all the C&C's all the Age of EMpires and probably every decent RTS since 😐 and i'm saying BFME is good, not the greatest 😛 but really good 😄 I wish i could build more troops though and i wish the Good side did not rely on archers so much 😬 🙁
