I agree with DFawkes LOTR + BF is too good to ignore. :)
I said it recently on the trailer for this, BF1/2 are my favourite online experiences, which I could play for ages (in fact BF1 was the game that convinced me to finally join the world of online play on PC and lead to my original xbox and Live). Dated graphics don't really matter if the game is good (as long as it's not that dated!). Besides BF was never really a looker anyway it was all about the battles. BF was a marmite game IMO your loved it or hated it. I loved it and have faith Pandemic can pull this off and will take the plunge I reckon. (still want BF3 though, hurry up Free Radical FFS!!!!!!) |

A little more than 8v8 would have been good.
Still it looks interesting, good multiplayer, with a chance to (finally) play an epic fight at helms deep! (hopefully!) |

@ Dizzy, Didn't he shoot lightning against the giant monster in the mines?
As for fire, I suppose you have to give them something or they will be a bit rubbish. |

It was always going to be disappointing. The Battlefront series was solid, but ultimately underwhelming. The LOTR license needs a headline developer like Bioware, Valve, Bungie or Ubisoft to really pull of a game worthy of its name. Sadly, with EA at the helm, that's not likely to happen.
Oh well, at least the films were good. |

Implied power is so much cooler than actually using it. You just know if he went ape, Gandalf would own everyone. Fire, lightning, wind, and anything else, he can just summon it all - if he wanted to. But he doesn't. Kind of like a cat with a grenade launcher, you know not to piss him off just in case.

---- Turbine have done a superb job with LOTRO. Just remember EA have the MOVIE rights. |

@ iokthemonkey
I thought they had the book rights as well, leading to BFME2 having battles that were only "hinted at in the books" (read made up to fit the game) but then again I only played it once so I may be wrong |

I could be wrong but that's what I'd read, anyway... |

Mages?
Orc Mages? Elven archers in Minas Tirith? Is nothing sacred at Tolkein Enterprise Tower these days? I'll buy it anyway. |

iokthemonkey - right you are. Turbine are doing a fantastic job. Well pointed out.

Indeed, EA did snap up the book rights too. I think Turbine only retain the MMO rights.
--- Ah, I see. That's more twisty and tangled than a twisty-tangled thing that's not been brushed for a month... |

If EA are the publisher I for one will not touch this game with a 10 foot barge pole it will almost certainly contain SecuROM which takes control of ring 0 in the windows Kernal and yes they have a MAC version of SecuROM too and no doubt it will be restricted by the 3 or 5 activations rule so youll never be able to resell it second hand I will stick with Turbines game thanks with no spyware or activations rule not to mention EA's absolutely awfull customer service by far the worst ive ever come across where can I vote so I can give this title the 0 it will deserve. If only it wasn't published by EA it might be worth looking at.

Buy it for console then?
I once got all up in arms about SecuROM, then found out I already had it installed with some of my favourite games (like Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Soulstorm, Star Wars: Empire At War and Frontlines: Fuel of War). SO now I'm happy if it doesn't have installation restrictions. |
