"Battle for Middle Earth" Game

Twista · 01-22-2005, 03:29 PM

Recently purchased this game and it's actually pretty damn good for a strategy game.

If you dont know what it is then ill do a bit of explaining....

Its like the game "Age of Empires" - everyone must of heard of that... a army controlling strategic game. You play one of several races; Gondor, Rohan, Isenguard, and Mordor.

Screenshots

Does anyone own the game, I'd love to play against someone.

I've got it, it took me about a week to complete and it is great!

only one critisim the best levels are helms deep and minas tirith and you can't play them in skirmish mode

Twista · 01-23-2005, 03:14 PM

Well my PC cant really handle it, which is quite rediculous acually, because my computer isnt bad.

Ive just about nearly finished the good campaigns...

My critisim is how stupid the computer is sometimes... but I guess thats why they invented online play..

We should organise a game sometime.

I don't have it yet but I'm thinking of getting, I just bought Half-Life 2: Silver and it comes with like 15 other games, speaking of which, does anyone play Counter Strike here?

Twista · 01-23-2005, 05:51 PM

So has anyone else got it?

Its acually pretty damn good dont you think? The campaigns for really cool.

If you dont know what it is then ill do a bit of explaining....

Its like the game "Age of Empires" - everyone must of heard of that... a army controllying stragity game. You play one of several races; Gondor, Rohan, Isenguard, and Morder. There is a skirmish option, where you simply play against enemys and try to win the game, or the campaigns which are based good or evil. Anyway i could go on and on put it would take ages, research it if you want to know more lol. Here are some screenshots:

Screenshots

So... anyone got any views on it then?

I love it.. lol

Age of Empires is an RTS (real time stratagy game)

I have desided it is neet and humungus!

If you have a very big computer and like LotR and can understand the interface (No bottom bar guys!) I'd recamend it.

I have a tiny computer (3 Gigabates todle!)
so I can't play it

Hope this helps!

Telcontar_Dunedain · 02-02-2005, 12:26 PM

I bpught it on the weekend an have been playing it pretty much non-stop except for sleeping and going to school. However it takes ages to load a level or the game for me. Does this happen with anyone lese?

Yeh like 10 minutes sometimes...

You probably need to wait for a Pentium 7 to come out before it will load and run smoothly

.

Sometimes its really jumpy in-game too. You see that?

Telcontar_Dunedain · 02-04-2005, 12:56 PM

10 minutes sometimes! I envy you! A few nights ago it took 45 minutes for me to load one of the Rohan levels.

It's to big for my computer... but the way that you go on it kind of makes me glad about that

What do you mean? Dont get anyone wrong, the wait is worth it lol.

The storyline is acually really well structured, even though quite a few changes have been made ( this is needed though to make the game a little more lengthy.)
