Happy new year to everybody!
I'm proud to finally present the trailer video and screenshots of my first project for BFME2, Legends.

The story:

The Dread Shadowmage, Raselas, has gathered an army to destroy what remains of the ancient Three Wills, and conquer all who oppose him.
New heroes will rise and stand against the forces of darkness, to restore the sanctity of the old and ensure peace to the lands of good.

Play solo or with friends online using three Create-A-Heroes plus three completely new heroes that will join you as your journey progresses.
Complete the side quests you are given to obtain valuable experience and loot, which you can later spend at the shops to buy powerful magical items.
Face enemies you have never seen before and explore a completely new universe, far from the tales of middle earth.

I'm in need of testers! It's to make sure every bug has been squatted and everything flows as good as can be. The test run will consist in an online run (Online on EA's servers or via Hamachi) and a singleplayer run for every player who wants to participate in it.
If you want to help test too just post here

This looks really good. I'm looking forward to trying it, it's BFME2 without RotWK, right?

[mike_]

Quite impressive. Hope you get hosted

[BPK]

I'm quite close to acquiring a legit BFME2.

I'd LOVE to be a tester.

[Devon]

This looks beautiful! I'd love to test, but I'm afraid I just don't have the time required. Eagerly looking forward to a release however!

[Masterbadeend]

I was allowed to test the map, and it's really cool. Everything has been redone to create a RPG style . And the particle effects in the map are also great.
I could go on for another minute like this, but this is simply one of the best maps there is .

Yep, it's for BFME 2 .

I clicked on the trailer expecting the usual "meh" stuff
Boy was I wrong

Woah, just noticed the trailer And it is AWESOME! Definitely going to download this when it releases, excellent job so far Crusard.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Looking into it further I see we have similar plans for the BFME games in creating RPGs using the game.
Map projects and Mapmods count for hosting if they are big enough look at Dre@mer's project for instance.
Looks impressive so far I guess I'll dust off my BFME2 and try this out whenever it's ready.

Thanks everyone for the replies
I hope to get the final part of the map ready by tomorrow, and then it's only testing until the final release

Masterbadeend: And you've only tested Part I

BPK: Sent you a PM . Hope we can do some good testing of a multiplayer run soon

I'm hoping I can make the purchase from my friend ASAP. ; )

[Shikari]

This looks really well done. I'm looking forward to giving it a try

I clicked on the trailer even after reading your post and was still surprised.

[BPK]

Well I've got the game, and am used to it.

I really see now what everyone meant by "BFME's SO much better than 2". : (

Still, I guess I'm ready for testing now. Hope to catch you on MSN soon.

After more local testing, Legends - Part I has been released!

You can download it from HERE.

Parts II and III, and the full-version map, will be released later this month.
Please play Part I of the map and comment!

[Masterbadeend]

Shall I bétatest the other parts too?

[Ridder Blauw]

I haven't even played the map (it's loading!), but I already have a comment:
The map is to big. I would create a 'mod' which has the data files and not a map ini that's is VERY big.
That's why it takes very long to load (I think)

---------------------------------------------------------

Don't know why but it won't load :(

Looks awesome. I must go, though, don't have time to explain further. Looks good, I'll be back.

[Crusard]

Sure

Too bad nobody else can test so we are 3 players :S
(BPK get hamachi working? )

It seems to work fine for everybody else :(
Besides, I wanted to make it map.ini so anyone can play it online without any downloading or installing
