BF2 Standard... Perhaps Euro Forces, since it's only $10 if people want to pick it up, it's a cheap way to get a few extra good maps, etc.

Special forces.... meh... I don't personally think it's worth the $30 or whatever...

what do you mean by none of the expansions? is there expansions for UT2K4 or HL2? or are you just talking BF2?

I would LOVE to play some Yahtzee and Monopoly... Oh bring it....

I'll also introduce you all to the wonders of a board game called Sequence.. It is a game that can turn groups of friends into bitter enemies. For real.

I've found that no game can turn best friends into blood enemies like Risk.

Don't forget these other official games:

Why are all of the games FPSs?

I recommend GTA2, Soldat, Liquid Wars 5, and Civ 4 as great LAN games.

oh man I SO wish I could get good at strategy games... last year I tried really hard to enjoy Rome Total War, but ended up giving it to checkmate because I was so bored to tears by it. If I'm gonna buy another strategy game this year, should I get Civ IV or AoE?

Dammit!

I agree with you Prime, I would call myself a hradcore RTS player and I did think RTW was Boaring and drawn out... sorry QCH

BFME2 wipes the floor with any RTS currently, even BFME1 was pretty good, if you liek to build mass armies and just fight. Like I said give me the go ahead and I could possibly get BFME1 copies for the guys


In my arsenal of RTS I have the following

All C&C Games "decade Pack"
BFME1
BFME2
Starcraft
Warcraft I
Warcraft II
Warcraft III
Nemisis of the Rome Empire
Age of Mythology
Age of Empires 2
Age of Empires 3
Age of Wonders
Empire Earth
Empire Earth 2
War Hammer 40,000

& probably 6 more unknowns I bought played for a few days and cased

You might like War of the Ring. In BFME2 there is a Turn based part of the "WOTR" it is very much a risk style game play with the many different styles of play. It allows you to do auto resolve and RTS and BFME2 just looks so much better than the other games I mean come on it is LOTR's

I played the demo. I quit because my archers couldn't shoot over the walls. That's pretty stupid. Walls are strategically useless if you can't shoot over or down from them, and I play with lots of walls.

If I click on my archers, and tell them to attack the enemy on the other side of the wall, and they don't do it, that's a flaw in the game, not a special attack...

Okay lets think about that for one sec. take it in a real life perspective... if there is a 40 ft wall in front of you and you want to shoot the people you and your guys can't see directly on the other side... your only option would be to bombard over the wall and hope the people are on the other side where you are shooting. It is no Flaw... Bombard isn't 100% accurate it is add for the purpose of having walls.

You might not like it as it is a key to micromanagement... Some people don't like Micro..

If you played me you wounld't Get walls up.... It would be to late

Also EA has a 1.03 patch dfor the game which buffs walls and adds a ton of fixes... the Demo can't be patched

You're a rusher? I hate playing strategy games against people who rush. It's not a strategy game anymore when you're just trying to see who can destroy the other's base the fastest.

Playing AOE3 online has become a farce now, everyone rushes, and nobody gets past the Fortress age. I'm sure that a lot of 'strategy games' have online play communities that are like that. I much prefer playing against friends during a LAN, so that I can punch anyone who rushes or resorts to another cheap play tactic. It's the strategy game equivalent of a 'rocket bitch'.
