It's been completely dissolved. Soem are in petro, some are in EALA, a few quit.

I wanted a ressurection of the Westwood Studios games. Will that ever happen??

I sincerely doubt it. But in the end it's just a name really. Sure it would be nice if it hadn't dissolved, but it's not as if it's heart hasn't survived in Petroglyph.

No. I mean I want a resurrection of the games they used to do. A SW spin and mod to the original versions.

I sincerely doubt it. But in the end it's just a name really. .

ju ju just a...name?!?! they, along with blizzard, INVENTED RTS games,but thats just me. they made great games only a few, very few that werent on par with the rest, they were good, but once you breach the barrier you have to go above nd beyond or fall by the wayside...... man great games all in all. im glad some genuises are still around, to make great games to continue thier legacy...

Unfortenatly Westwood is gone. That is never going to change. The guys that were in westwood, that have formed Petroglyph are here now. But im gonna tell you, we arent making Westwood game. Unfortenatly i would love to be able to play another tiberian series game, but i dont think that is ever going to happen.

No Tiberium Twilight.... Damn.... Ah well, least there won't be a Red Alert 3. I liked the first two well enough, but how many times can the soviets be beaten? Though I think EA owns the rights to the C&C series and might try something, considering they like doing sequels so very much.

There's a preview and a clip on Gamespot.

Well then if this game doesn't lack i'll get it. If it sucks EA style then no thanks

If it sucks EA style

Hahaha-the embodiment of movie cash-ins.

Hey guys what's the best mod for BFME available? And to make the question more elaborate how on earth can I install one? None of the major mods work on my game only the small ones like the ones that modify the unit cap size and others like it, an error keeps poping up when I try to load it with the mod launcher . I'd appreciate some help.

 

Thanks

Right now the best mod you should look for is Rohavian alliance.

It's not finished yet but it's does a lot of improvement to the game.

ingested. those filthy EA scums, the shall rue the day the messed with the greatest RTS maker evar! now if blizzard gets injested, muchh stabby stabby will happen to whoever made that change

You could always burn down EA headquarters Make them poor that way Then hide on a secret island

Maybe we can go and join Marcus!!

I know it's been a long time since people last talked of it here, but I just recently took a look into BFME2 to see how it was going and in the process found some IGN vids for it. I posted a link for everyone else interested.

 

I'm trying not to get interested in it too much, seeing how the first game disappointed, but some of the things in the videos looked pretty damn good. It strange, it looks the same, but looks to play entirely differently. I can't explain how exactly. Also thumbs up to them for the 3d water effects in the first vid, very wet looking.

I thought I already did... I mean... Uh...

 

...Oh look a block of wood. Let's all go look at the block of wood.

The thing that's go me worried about BFME is that it's making EaW look like it might plunge the same depth

Eh? How is that Indum?

Well I dunno...I've seen nice graphics and some promasing ideas in it, but so did BFME and I'm worried that EaW won't have all that much strategic depth. Bu tmaybe thats just me.

The team behind it is run by and Englishman. Now I'm not being stereotypical or anything, but I do think that's a change for the better. Fosh will agree with me I'm sure. Maybe now they have the right guy for the job.

 

Also the time they've had on it seems a lot less pushed. All through BFME construction I was worried it should be rushed... I haven't felt so much on that front this time around. (probably because it seems to be exactly the same engine. It's like BFME1 should have been had they had more time)

 

I know what you mean about strategic depth Indum. I'm one of the first to say how unbalanced BFME1 was, but I'm willing to think that things can change. I'll wait until I see a good review before I get it to be sure, but I'm not going to look at it negatively until I have reason to.

Course its better. Hopefully it won't suck aas much as BFME did. They are trying to include the entire Middle Earth this time with the Dwarfes in the mountains coming into play.

Here's another preview Q&A I found on Gamespot:

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/battleformiddleearth2/preview_6133390.html

We're finally getting more details and videos about this game. I have to go soon so I can't go into much detail, but I will mention that the Dwarves have the GLA ability to go through tunnels across the map. Definitely an awesome ability and it fits the Dwarves well.

EA Games finally suckered me into buying this game. So is anybody else going to buy it or going to throw a rock at EA games? Damn you EA games I hate you but you make the games I Like

 

- Create a hero

- 30 seconds of the dancing/singing guy power

- Capture the Ring (flag) and build a powerful unit

- Risk type mode where you conquer territories

- Dragons and boats

- Elves and Dwarfs

- and uh.......Skirmishes and different place but same timeline.

It caught hold of me a while back. I'm one of the first to complain about the way BFME1 turned out, but it's LOTR, it has a certain atmosphere that I enjoy. The second one seems pretty cool from what I've seen, so I'll most likely get it and give EA another chance.

 

The 'War of the Ring' mode doesn't appeal to me too much, but I too look forward to the create a Hero mode. I found a nifty naming thing a while back for LOTR, and I can guarantee my heroes will use some of those names. Pity you can only have 1 custom hero on your team at a time.

 

The other thing I like is that you can build wherever you want. I wasn't a fan of build plots and set castles. Now I can build a huge fortress of epic proportions... it's true. Isengard now gets walls...

 

Oh, if anyone's interested that naming thing I mentioned can be found here: http://www.barrowdowns.com/middleearthname.php
