Addition: Battle for Middle Earth Thread

It would be nice if you added "Battle for Middle Earth" to the modlisting, since it will be out in a couple of months and already has several mods being developed for it. The game is made by the same team that did Red Alert 2 and CNC: Generals, and thus many people in those modding communities plan on modding B4ME.

Hot damn... that looks awsome! I'd just assume that - as with most movies - they'd sell out to some crappy developer who'd make a pathetic little game just to cash in on the movie, but that looks brilliant!

yeah, this game looks pretty brilliant, it should be a blast to play, im pretty stoked for it to come out

You've forgotten to realise that developers have already proven that bad movie-to-game licenses have been nearly wiped out, thanks to the recently released Chronicles of Riddick. Most games released about movies have been a hell of a lot better than they used to be, and this is no exception

Crummy LotR console cash-ins, when will they stop?

Actually, Middle Earth has been in the making for 6 years or so.

Erm, seien, you aren't talking about this game are you?

No, I'm taking about Pong

heh, i've been watching this game for few good months right now, the trailer is truly amazing, with all the morale things, the realism (?) and breathtaking graphics

That's pretty close to DNF development time.

Yeah, but they were underground much longer. Unfortunately it looked like a wc3 clone when they showed their first screenshot or two

Good thing it's far from a Wc3 clone, and a hell of game! I can't wait to play Helm's Deep on my PC

Get Quake
There's a map with 10,000 knights and a remake of the Helm's Deep fortress... Suffice to say it runs choppily

No thanks, I'll get Battle for Middle Earth

I want a good-looking game

Or Doom even. Nuts.wad has 100,000 of assorted monsters.

Added.

Big thanks to Bart for the images, and smurfbizkit for the information.

This will be modDB's first game over the 100 mark!
