Best RTS of the year by E3: Battle for Middle Earth

[Avatar]

It is awesome! Warcraft meets Age of Mythology!

You have the idea of Human+ Elves vs Undead + Orcs

You have a role playing Lord of the Rings!

You have levelling up heros and amazing weapons!

You have mythical ability units like Age of Mythology as well as standard ones.

You have massive cinematic battles

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOOW!

It is so hot!

Imagine Trolls grabbing friendly Orcs and throwing them around as a war hammer. The Orcs screaming as they crash into Knights,
Nazgul sweeping down on Pikemen and Gandalf...


AMAZING!

Wow, is this game out already?

Unless it meets Total War as well so that we can flank troops and make ambushes I don't really care.

elf rushes!!!. I am looking forward to this game, unless they pull a Warcraft and make it multiplayer oriented. Blizzard can do it. EA simply fails whenever it makes a non sports licensed product (LOTR games anyone?)

Need For Speed series, Battlefield Series (1942 and Vietnam)...

I'd say Rise of Nations with Thrones and Patriots is the best RTS of the year.

You mean Age of Empire 12? Aren't you tired of that series?

Star Wars Galactic Battleground for example.

So are those Rise of Nation games and Age of Mythology.

It's always the same thing. Get Some of the 3 resources, and upgrade your town center to change age, Bla bla bla...

They just reskin units basically. So, instead of a Trebuchet you get an Artilery. And instead of archers you get gunners. Instead of Priests you get Jedi...

They never really change anything. It remind me of those black market nes cartridge that had "100 games" but there was really 5, with 20 variation of each where instead of playing that clown and jumping over monkeys, you were a ball jumping over dogs. Or instead of Bomberman you got a some green little ugly guy or something.
