Looks pretty cool, but I think they're basing it off of the Battlefront system a bit
too much

Yeah it looks like they are just building off of Battlefront. Oh well, I guess this is Battlefront III.

IGN: I think that's all I have to talk about based on what you gave me. Is there anything that we haven't hit on that you wanted to mention?
Eric Gewirtz: Well, just the interesting story that is the origin, the way it was created. This is the team that did Star Wars: Battlefront I and II. . .
Interesting... I doubt it's Pandemic, it's probably just guys that have moved on from there. From everything I've researched people typically don't stay at one dev company for more than a few years.

This game does sound cool, and Pandemic is definitely working on this one:

Well I'll be bugger'd. So long as this comes out on PC and is moddable, I'm all over it.

I've imagined a couple of times what a LOTR Battlefront-style game would be like. Guess I don't have to imagine anymore... I hope this is good.

All I know is, I'll be ticked if Luke's animations get in the game somehow. They used those enough already! >.>

HA ha ha!
That would be hilarious.
This looks really good actually, I think they improved the graphics, cause they look sweet!
If it's Moddable, AND runs on the same system, (which it sounds like it does) think of all the cool new .msh's.

Looks pretty good, and does look a LOT like BF2. I've only played one LotR game, and it kinda sucked...
And Syth, you linked us to the second page!

Sweeeet... This could be our next big game.
None of the others seem to be catching.

I dunno, if we did, we'd might as well change our slogan to "Get More From Your Pandemic-made Game"
I think the core of this community is still Star Wars, personally

I'd be up for doing a SWBF 2.5 mod from LotR: Conquest if mod tools come out

WOW this is great! Can't wait.
That'd be funny if they use the same engine and our modtools would work with it

Oh please no! The Zero engine in it would not be funny, it would be highly irritating. And it would probably crash within 5 seconds because there are too many units on the field.
The only internal part that I do hope they keep is Lua. It's my #1 favorite scripting language.

I disagree. If it's not an uber-updated version of Zero I'm walking. I'm getting to old to learn a new engine.
