February 28, 200619 yr I have a 20$ copon at target and was wondering what game people thought was better... (this is to hold me over until NWN2 and TES4...) Deadly_Nightshade "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
February 28, 200619 yr Wait, why are you choosing between two poor titles? Pick something better. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
February 28, 200619 yr Author ok, feel free to recomend other things... "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
February 28, 200619 yr Two very different games... BFME is better for your money though, since BF is basically just multiplayer and the single player bots aren't exactly the sharpest of knives in the drawer. I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast
March 1, 200619 yr Okay, do you mean Battlefront, (Star Wars 3rd person shooter) or Battlefield (semi modern day 1st person shooter) And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth unto Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be, In Nomine Patris, et Fili, et Spiritus Sancti.
March 1, 200619 yr Ok, let's think about this. Which game is mentioned in the thread's title? I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast
March 1, 200619 yr Ok, they are two totally different genres. If you want Battlefront, go get Battlefield. It's better in every way, except it's not Star Wars, but I'm sure a mod will come out eventually. If you want Battle for Middle Earth...well I hate RTS games so I won't touch this one.
March 1, 200619 yr battlefront one is not a very good shooter... 2 is one of the all time greatest but one has to small of maps, and is quite boring because it's just take and hold battles. BFME is unique... it can feel horribly slow because your base is confined to X number of build spots for EVERYTHING you need. Only one resourse but it can feel incredibly slow coming in. The game play is very unbalanced in terms of what each side should do. Gondor/rohan=play turtle until your attack force is hitting the unit cap, Mordor/Isenguard=keep attacking to keep the other guy away from your base. the reason it's like this is because Gondor and Rohan have walls that are easy to defend. while modor doesn't but gets a heck of alot more units to the group. for twenty bucks I'd pick up Warhammer Dawn of War instead.

March 1, 200619 yr GET MORROWIND! Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.
March 1, 200619 yr Author GET MORROWIND! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I already have it... (and I ment Star Wars Battlefront) Deadly_Nightshade "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
March 1, 200619 yr GET MORROWIND! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I already have it... (and I ment Star Wars Battlefront) Deadly_Nightshade <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I enjoyed Battlefront, though I did wait until it went Platnium Hits on xbox before I picked up a copy of it. It's got all the elements for a great game, but something is just not there to pull it all together. 1-10? I'd go 6. 7 if anyone was ever on live for me to play against anymore. They did do much better on the sequel, (which is a bit of a rarity I know) kind of like they lost focus in the middle of making the first, and realized it, and concetrated better on the second to make sure they got it right. The sequel I give a 8. BFMC (Also known to some as Battlefield 2) is one of the most annoying things I have ever played in my life. Again, lots of great elements, but the maps are WAY too big. If you don't have a vehicle nearby, you are in for a frustrating time on foot, and you'll get sniped LONG before you get anywhere. If they'd shrink all the maps 25% I'd have probably enjoyed it better, 35% and I'd have loved it. And I am that guy who manages to respawn three seconds after the whole team left the area with all the vehicles, that my luck. Run run run, get sniped, repeat. Very frustrating.

March 1, 200619 yr Battlefield Modern Combat and Battlefield 2 are NOT the same thing. BFMC is a bad console game. BF2 is an excellent PC only game. They share nothing but the word Battlefield.
March 1, 200619 yr BFMC is Battlefield 2 for the xbox. That's what it's billed as anyway. And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.

March 1, 200619 yr Battlefront 2 is a very good Star Wars game and MUCH better than #1. It can also be very long and could hold your interest until NWN2 is released. it's also more expensive since it came out a few months ago. I LOVED it on PC, not so much on PS2. Battle for Middle Earth, I found it too easy and short but you have skirmish mode and, well, it's LotR and it has some cool new RTS concepts(as far as I know). It could also be less pricey because it's been out for about a full year now. BfME is like Kohan with Gandalf and a demon of the ancient world... SWBF2 is like Battlefield with Jedis and DARTH frakkin VADER... I would get BfME because I recently finished SWBF2. Actually, in your situation I would get Dragon Quest 8, or maybe Digital Devil Saga 2. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
March 1, 200619 yr Since the original post says he only has $20, he's clearly looking at the original Battlefront. I heard it's way inferior to Battlefront 2, so I'd save your money.

March 1, 200619 yr Well then, I'd say pick up Battlefront 2 and be prepared to shell out an extra twenty or so. It's got much more going for it on the single player side, and there's still a few others playing it online. I enjoy it pretty well.
