There is talk of EA making BFME III. I personally think that with each BFME game EA made, they messed up some of the best parts of the last one. Also, it gets less Tolkien-ish each game. I say stick to the book, which EA will never do when it comes to LOTR. Why can't they bring back Gondor and Rohan, and get rid of this dumb MotW crud? What do you think?

Can you offer some quote or something to back up the bfmeIII talk? We've heard it before and it's never amounted to anything... :p

The only credible rumor was that of a Last Alliance x-pack for BFME2. EA supposedly debated between this and Rise of the Witch King for the first x-pack. The "Arnor" faction in RotWK has the foundations of a Last Alliance faction, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if EA decided to flesh it out a bit more in a second x-pack.

Hard to say...they renewed the license but also released an anthology (a sign that they're done).

unless someone other than EALA makes it, it won't happen. An expansion for CNC3 is going to be announced tomorrow (the 7th).

I'd rather them make a Red Alert 3 than BFMEIII. personally. I'd also rather see another expansion to Rotwk with arnor officially done along with whatever they choose to do.

EA is also criticized for shutting down its acquired studios after a poorly performing game. Many see EA's control and direction as being primarily responsible for the game's failure rather than the studio. Magic Carpet 2 was rushed to completion over the objections of designer Peter Molyneux and it shipped during the holiday season with several major bugs. Studios such as Origin, Westwood Studios, and Bullfrog had previously produced games attracting a significant fanbase, and when they were closed down many top designers and programmers refused to stay with EA and formed rival studios. EA has also received harsh fire from labour groups for their dismissals of large groups of employees during the closure of a studio (see below). Such was the case with the game GoldenEye: Rogue Agent.


no... I remember when this happend.

And another reason you can tell EA made CNC3.

The SDK isn't out yet.

Personally, I would rather see EA create an Expansion pack for Bfme1 instead of Bfme2... Shame it wont ever happen. I do however think they are going to start on a new Lord of the rings project, With them re-newing the rights... Something will happen imo.

weren't they making the White Council even though it was put on hold.
I would like for them to make an x-pack of BFME more then an x-pack of BFME2 since i rarely play it.
Having said that I would really love for BFME 3 to come out with some changes made to the system like roll through damage (a projectile hits and goes through 1 enemy and hits the next one) this would be great for catapults,Legolas and the Fellbeasts.
