^YAY FOR N00B DETERENTS!!!!!!!!!!!^
anyway, to start this topic off, THIS GAME PWNS YOUR SOUL.
'k, while this topic covers both games, and since I'm assuming readers have played the first one, I'd like to begin by addressing the differences in the new version:
1: (drumroll*wow,I'mskippingtothebestpart,lol*) CUSTOM HEROES*! that's right, in BFME II you can create your own hero to use in skirmishes and multiplayer; complete with customizable looks, stats, and hero powers!!! (Once I start going on the 'net, BEWARE MY GORZAK MOLSTEROFSOULS *yeah,downsideisthenamesareshorterthanI'dlike*!!!!!) another downside is, while you can make millions of different custom heroes, you are limited to one preselected-custom-hero-of-your-choice per game. plus there are annoying limitations when choosing your hero powers. BUT I CAN STILL MOLEST YOUR SOUL, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
2: NEW RACES: since the campaign focuses on a special 'War of the North', Rohan and Gondor have been fused into a new 'Men of the West', and the main races of good have become: that's right... ELVES AND DWARVES!!! (finally, my friend will stop complaining about being stuck with just Gimli) and the bad guys haven't been left out either: INTRODUCING THE GOBLINS AND ANOTHER HERO, A DRAGON*!!! (The Hobbit fans, unite!
) also, a new aspect for both sides: NAVAL UNITS! and MAN, I'VE GOTTA STOP USING THESE CAPS LOL
3: A NEW BUILDING SYSTEM: theres good, there's bad, and there's ugly, but I'll have to save it for later, 'cause there's way to much to cover.
*NOTE!!! about those custom heroes and the dragon, slight problem: according to the box, they are some of a few features, including maps, AVAILABLE ONLY WITH THE COLLECTOR'S EDITION. as I was unable to find any plain editions as of yet, I have yet to confirm this, but hopefully they'll ATLEAST KEEP THE CUSTOM HEROES...
well, I'll be back with more stuff when I can be arsed, BUT FOR NOW, USE THIS THREAD TO REJOICE!!!
ps: for those of you that know BFME II has been out for almost a month: SHUT UP. I was well aware of the date. I just couldn't get it 'til yesterday.
edit: patch version 1.03 came in recently. it was a pain to download. almost half an hour of waiting... but then, there was alot of stuff they had to fix. man, I didn't even have time to discover the glitches they fixed. be sure to get it though. there was a lot of stuff that makes the races more evenly balanced.
