Yeh, PS3 ftw! PS3 is the future

[Elvenlord]

Hmmm... I wonder what factions they will include...
From the screen shots we can see Gondor, Rohan, and Mordor. Isengard is pretty much a garentee, not much of a Helm's Deep without them
Which kinda includes the elves. I wonder if they will just be the archer in that battle, or will they have all their own units? Or go by the books? What about dwarves? Hobbits? Goblins? Or are they saving alot of these for a sequel
Thoughts?

[Devon]

Maybe they'll be like ewoks/wampa/tuskens from battlefront?

[m@tt]

No factions, just good and evil. Each has 4 classes. And currently there are 12 maps

Shire, Weathertop, Rivendell, Moria, Isengard, Helms Deep, Minas Tirith, Pelannor Fields, Osgilliath, Minas Morgul, Mt Doom, Black Gate

[Elvenlord]

So, will the skins for each map change for good and evil? Like at minas tirith, the good is gondor, but at helm's, their rohan? Will the elves be included there, since they are both bow and sword? Or maybe they'll add an extra class, an elite kind of thing....
I haven't been this excited about a game since the orginal bfme.....

THis game is going to own, im glad Pandemic is making it, i wonder what game engine there using, it looks like Halo 3s game engine.

[m@tt]

Battlefront Engine probably.

[TowerGuard418]

Some of the screens make it look like the dead units don't fade out. I wonder if they stay?

[Lauri]

Elvenlord... have ye never played Battlefront?
The units change, acording to the map...
In Battlefront, you choose a map, and then you can choose if it's in the Galactic Civil War, or Clone Wars (or something like that)... Meaning, movies 1-3 and 4-6... or, acctually the opposite anyways... I would assume this isnt' really possible in this one though..
But the classes could be something like this, for Helm's Deep good guys;

Warrior
Archer
Elf
Captain

I have no clue though, but that could be for Helm's Deep... For Pelennor fields it could be;

Warrior
Archer
Royal Guard
Captain
and horses...

meaning... I do hope they keep things where they belong (+movie helms deep)

Well, however they do it... I hope it's magic..

[Nertea]

The classes are Warrior, Archer, Mage and Scout. I wonder how the Rohan Wizard will work...

[Mathijs]

Mage?

Oh goddamnit...

[Devon]

Theres still time...they could change it....

[mike_]

Aye, on the game's forums there's a large Thread consisting purely of people not wanting them ingame...

Yes, I have. And there are factions, but there always agaisnt a certain one, Republic vs. CIS and Rebels vs. Empire.
Each faction's units are uniform, no matter which map you are playing on, except a skin change on some maps.
What I meant was that will you be able to change it up a bit, be able to defend Helm's Deep as Gondor, etc.
And then will each one have their own special attributes, such as Gondor being a bit slower, but a bit more health?

Anyways, I hope they do remove the mage.
And that cav can trample. So that would require pikes so that it would balance out a bit more.
So I envision:
Sword
Archer
Pike/Spear/Whatever(Or maybe a pick-up kind of thing for swords?)
Elite
Maybe a Captain unit?
Scout (didn't really think of this before, but I think it would add a bit to the game)

[Nertea]

It's things like this that make me doubt the game . No high hopes for me, I'll stick with genres that fit the battlefield mindset. like guns.

[Lauri]

I'll have to agree on that... mostly
Battlefield\front games are best used when using guns... In Battlefront 2 you could play as a hero... It's fun, but it's more fun without it...
Which also makes me think... Can the heroes we can play, be played as the heroes in BF2, or all the time?

[Elvenlord]

I'm pretty sure in one of the interviews it said it would be timed like Battlefront 2

[Nertea]

And that is what I disliked second most about MP BF2. Race to the hero! slaughter as many as possible! Woo....

[Devon]

Is says there will also be a hero deathmatch mode, where everyone gets to be a hero.

Much like that tatooine conquest on bf2.

[Rob38]

So yeah, I've never played battlefront or anything, but from the screens posted for conquests, I'm assuming it's a first person action-adventure game? If someone could tell me what the gamestlye is like, I would greatly appreciate it.
