Battle of Middle Earth 2

I didn't see a thread on this, only casually mentioned here and there. Anyone play this? My friend just got me a copy recently and he said it was a lot of fun. I normally don't play RTS, I had a 15 mins tutorial on Starcraft and was let loose to play Terrans against people who have been playing for years Needless to say I wasn't doing very well.

Anyhow, I thought Battle of Middle Earth 2 was really easy to pick up. I heard that the first one sucked, so that might be a turn off. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this game, because I find that it is extremely unbalanced, but it's such a fun game anyway. I hope EA tries to balance it out some more, but with all those races it's going to be hard.

I don't have a lot of experience playing with RTS, but it seems that in any one on one, if you're not rushing, you're basically screwed. If you're both just building up, the game drags on. I'm guessing this is true for most RTS.

I can see how these types of games are addictive though... multiplayer is just too much fun. I think I might need to try one of those Romanish ones, like Age of Empires or Civilization... I think those were it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

BFME2 is uninspired tripe.

Go get Dawn of War or something.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The first one was far from being good, so I didn't even bother to look at the second. If more people tell me it's good, maybe I'll download the demo.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It's alot better then the first due to balance fixes and the fact that you can now ACTUALLY build your base and place stuff relatively wherever you want much unlike the first that felt like an RTS for preschoolers due to how dumb the interface was.

My only gripe is that the AI is still as stupid or brutal as it was in C&C Generals and there's no real medium between the two. And then with the 360 version you can pratically tell how many enemies there are due to the dropping framerate. But it's framerate is better then Quake 4 and never really goes below playable.

Finally how the manage to map the controlls on the 360 version is the best RTS controller mapping to date. That is without a dought. (Take that StarCraft 64).

I don't know how I could play it on the 360, hard enough for me with a mouse.

I think the game still has some major balance issues.... I hope they try and fix that. I haven't tried campaign mode... building structures seems kind of pointless in a free for all.

I was speaking idiomatically.
