It will probably slow down your system when it's busy compressing,don't worry about that  |

What do you mean there were no paragraphs! Or do you mean there weren't any breaks in between the paragraphs. I just went back to my review and put spaces between the paragraphs.

Well I read it. (almost whole thing  ) Im just rushing to say its a really good and fun game, Hope they put some more options to Create a hero thingy, like face and skin-color. Else than that..It kinda rocks.  And yeah the AI is kinda good to, Yes it rush forces at you, but still Ive seen some impressive tactic changes from it. And its hard to beat sometimes. I like this game very much. Nice goin EA, for the first time ever I would say. 
PLayed this game straight 6 hours yesterday, just watching the forces clash. I never wanted to eend it, then I got tired and thought, Oh well..lets kill those bastards...THEN I COULDNT! haha. He had such a massiva army, I went In with Boromir, Legolas (allies), Gandalf (rocks to blast away enemys with a powerblast) and like 200 soldiers.. They where almost the double of that, with huge fucking elephants and shit just mushing 25 men into the air at one time.
Yeah. Gotta go. PLAY TIME! mohahahah.
edit# Oh and yeah. WHY THEFUCK DOES THE GAME HAVE TO SLOW DOWN SO FUCKING HARD! (alt-tab) and it seems to work better again? Going slow-mo at times.
Sig too big.

yea already did that. but it still is like 5.4gb  . only the file name changed blue lol
edit: i check file properties again and it says the following:
size: 5,53 GB (5.946.890.240 Bytes)
size on medium: 3,37 MB (3.534.848 Bytes)
so will it still take 5gb away, or only 3mb?
edit2: after a restart,it still shows me a file size of 5,5gb, but in the volume properties it now shows that i have about 5gb more free than before
thanks for the tip

Spunk[k],
That is awesome!! Sounds like you had a great game there. The game and battles can be on such a large scale that you are just in awe! SOMEBODY MAKE A BLOOD MOD!!!! The Blood Mod for BFME was incredible and added to the realism of BFME. It's been great to see the improvements in this game. Just having your units run faster is great. Looking forward to playing when I get home from work! I am going to try playing as the Elves. I noticed that the Elves don't allow anything to be built on their walls . That sucks big time! My son placed a archer tower one right after another in front of his walls and that seemed to work.
I haven't had any problems with slow down so I haven't had to do the alt-tab trick. There are other gamers having problems with that too. When the game actually comes out in retail LOL EA will get bombarded on their support forums about it. They will fix it with the 1.02 patch, hopefully.

Anyone knows if the online community is any good ? Thinking of getting this game if the community is good, in need of a good rts online game.

Well, the game has not been release yet so I can't imagine there IS a community yet.

I just thought of something cool. You know how you can play as Men of the West. One problem with that is that you cannot get the complete feel of the movies because you have Strider but no Legolas or Gimli. With this Hero Creator you could at least create one of them to fight along side Strider. I am going to work on making Legolas tonight as he is a great compliment to my melee characters. I will put all allocation points toward Vision, Power and Health. Since he is an archer I doubt he will be in the mix very much, thus won't need high armor or health rate. Just a thought as I am stuck here at work dreaming of playing again! LOL!

Well, cant say im amazed in any way or form here. Just another generic rts with some stuff that wc3 introduced four years ago.
BFME was a nice game cause you got to live out the movie through and rts and you got to turn the tide with saurons forces. BFME2 does the exact same thing again, but with non-movie events and slightly improved graphics.
Gonna try this a bit more but im leaning towards shift-del.
Oh and for the hero-creation-part is just a joke.

Just finished both campaigns, was very fun with massive battles, some missions ran like crap, could have used better optimization.

Ok I solved a few issues with the "memory leakage bug" (which still exists after these tweaks but happen a lot less)
First turn down the following things in custom settings:
VFG Lights
Terrain Textures
Water Details
Shader (though I'm not sure about this one)
Keep the other things as pleased.
Now the 2nd thing you gotta do is (probably) enlarge your virtual memory of your pc.
Mines currently min.: 786 max.: 1,5 gb
This kept the slowing downs at bay and it only happened (with me) during 4 player battles with intensive action.
Though I'm guessing some extra ram should make it run smooth also, untill they fix this (if they fix this problem that is)
---
Now for the multiplayer part
The game simply r0x, just been playing it for over 8 hours co-op with a classmate of mine.
You can easily replay some movie scenes or create your own version of an epic battle.
We had a little trouble dealing with 2 AI at hard diffuculty, but if you can survive the first 30mins of rushes, you should be able to kill them.
The "create hero" feature is really awsome, you can add dwarfs with your elven race or vice versa . I've made a nice spellcaster and I thought I'd share it with you all
Spellcaster
Armor: 11
Power: 11
Split the remaining points between Health and Health Gaining. (I kept those equal)
Your vision isnt that important. (So no points there)
Now with the powers I took:
Max Fireball
Max Lightning
Max Wizard Blast
1x Blink
This should fit perfectly and will give your spellcaster some nice punch combined with his melee precense
I'm hoping to read some other nice custom heroes here, for now I'm back ingame practicing for multiplayer!
O btw, so far haven't succeeded yet, but Golem walks around with multiplayer, if you kill him you can take the ring to your fortress, once there you can summon Sauron for 10.000... (He will be a lvl 10 hero)
I'm really curious to what he can do, but so far this game is keeping me busy!

I created a new hero last night. I made a Legolas look a like (except with brown hair LOL) and he dominated. I filled up vision and power and put the rest towards health and armor. Powers I used...cannot remember the names, I am at work right now....increase arrow damage, hero damage arrow, spread volley arrow and whirlwind. I cannot remember the fifth one. Anything comes in site my Legolas takes them down! That is what the vision thing is for. If you make a melee character and set their stance on aggressive and your hero has high vision he'll run after them before you see them! That is an awesome idea.
One thing I failed to mention yesterday. I edited the INI.BIG to increase the cap limit from 1000 to 1200. I used the FinalBIG program that I downloaded over a yr ago. I did the same thing in BFME. Google is your friend. Now I am able to get up to 1200 cap limit. I could go higher but I am afraid of chop chop. The enemy can go up 1300. Very cool that they kept that the same. I figure this is the exact same engine but just optimized with better textures and shaders.

You can increase the amount of units by up to 100x in the options, you don't need to edit anything.

No kidding! LOL! I didn't see that in the options. Then again I only used the options for my video settings. I will take a look.

That is all I care about. I have never been a campaign player. I will have some time tonight to look into the cap limit. Oh well, this game is a breath of fresh air compared to Empire at War ssssssssssssssss (as the air goes out of all my hopes for that game) LOL

The campaign is uh....lame
Single Player is junk
It's only saving grace might be multiplayer, yet to be seen.
But hey, it's EA...and we all know their sucklitude. |
Ha, wow that sure was a helpful review. Reminds me of when I was a kid and liked sega more then nintendo, so I would always say the Snes games sucked when they actually kicked ass. Get over you little bias and leave a mature opinion or don't waste our screen space with useless posts like that. That post made us have to scroll our mouse wheel 2 TIMES!!!, and that's 2 mouse wheel scrolls we'll never get back.....
Anyway all the other the reviewers that have left there knowledgeable reviews and opinions thanks a lot! It's nice to have some opinions before I start downloading this game on dial up!!...........jk

Okay this is really pissing me off, if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it. Hopefully this hasn't been covered, I looked and didn't see anything, but if it has please don't bite my head off.
Okay I installed the Deviance version, mounted it, then put the crack in install directory. But when I try to start the game nothing happens, shows the hour glass, then goes away, doesn't start any process. I also noticed everytime I try to run the game, it creates one of these "DUMP__20060228-162640__2044_260.dmp" in the install directory. (the numbers change) I'm not a rookie to this stuff but this is the first time I have encountered this problem. Any ideas?
I am running windows xp, i got direct x, got video sound drivers. The one thing im thinking it could be is I have a old proccessor, athlon 1.2 ghz, the minimum requirement is 1.6 ghz. I wouldn't think this would be the problem though because almost every game I install these days has a processor speed minimum higher then what I have, and I can run any other game out there. (unless is has sse)
K well if anyone has any ideas or can help me please let me know, thx a lot!!!
Oh also I have radeon 9800 pro, and also the world editor will start up fine, just not the game.....

3,8 compressed - unrar= 5 GB...hmmm...But it's ok for me. I unrar it, mount it and now i'm playing with update 1.01.
