I saw in several places people mentioned BFME 2 being 50% finished... has this been confirmed by EA Games?

I also heard it is supposed to take place up in the North, with the Goblins, Elves, Dwarfs, as well as the Gondor/Rohan, Mordor and Isengard Factions. They also said that Naval warfare would be included...and EA got rights to the books.

Is any of this true...or just rumors started by a magazine...

Thanks, GothmogtheOrc

EDIT: Changed the topic name when I heard EA confirmed BFME 2

Ok, but heres my problem with that:

So what do you think, true or false? Until we hear something official from EA, we really won’t know for sure.

So, anything from EA or Apoc? Has EA confirmed this?

You'd think nick would have the inside scoop on this at MEV.

Its probably why EA wasn't really fond of the RA mod. It seems quit close... although the RA units and heroes and factions would be better.

I agree. The dwarves looks a little odd. But I'm glad that it's not a future middle earth

Wow, perhaps BFME can now be like FIFA, and we'll have a BFME every year. BFME 2007, BFME 2008.

You'd like that wouldn't you

No, I wouldn't. I hope BFME burns in hell for eternity, for being one of the most crappy games I ever played (it's kinda on the same scale as Fire Warrior... But that was free)

EA is very good in making the stuff WETA designed, but as soon as they have to do their own they are completely stuck, I mean look at the dwarf banner carrier with a hugh axe on his banner, it doens't only look ridicilous but it is also completely unpracticle. Not to talk about the goblins riding giant spiders and scorpians :S (!!??). And blue elfs ?, how did they got that idea ....

I just went back and looked closer at the "Screenshots"...they are almost all concept art. Only one or two look like they could even possibly be screens.

[{IP}Gil-Galad]

yeah think about the pictures they released about BFME they looked truly amazing and then look at these, now think what they will REALLY look like. I think all units are going to be stick figures and when they move its like a crappy cartoon

I would check out the interview from that german site if you have broadband. The producer explains ALOT! Though it is 96Mgs.

[GothmogtheOrc]

yea, that was an informative and interesting interview. I really liked that water engine he talked about, as well as the tactical mode for campaign...

I love EA. they make my gaming life so good,mkay.

yes EA har confirmed it. very good news yes..

[Lauri]

hmm there is something odd with this picture

Can you see it

[Kelso]

There are many features that seem to be in BFME 2 that I can look forward to. The turn-based "War of the Ring" mode is particularly appealing, as is the base building style, sort of a blend between BFME and Generals from what I could sort out.
