Lord of the Rings Conquest sequel

[DaddyFatSacks420]

Im starting this thread to get people to speak up if they want Lord of the Rings Conquest 2. the first game was amazing and never got the recognition it deserved, EA's servers were always horrible for the game and they were shut down in a year. The Lord of the Rings Conquest game needs to be resurrected. War in the north is cool but there is nothing remotely like the game play to LOTR Conquest

People want to play Lord of the Rings Conquest. it doesn't matter if its new servers or a sequel but something has to be done. We need Warner bros. to take notice because they are the ones who own the rights now

YES PLEASE!

This was one of my favorite games of all time for the multiplayer. I played this game for hours and played it more than any other game I ever had. The multiplayer is unmatched by any other shooter or even the uncharted multiplayer. There was variety and the matches were usually very even and came down to the wire. There was never a ridiculous time limit on the matches (for capture the flag at least) so games could go on for hours. If there was a time limit for a match it was VERY long, not like the standard 10-15 minutes.

If they would get the servers up and running for the first one again or even release a sequel that was identical to the first one I would play it in a heart beat.

I think you are right, it never got the recognition it deserved and the people who did play it were doing so on a daily basis. There was a very tight-knit group of people that I played with and it would be nice to find that again!

Thank you for shedding some light on this game, because I truly miss it. PLEASE BRING THE GAME BACK!

I respect your opinion but...
Personally, i do not want a Conquest sequal. Conquest was fun at first, but then quickly got repetitive. The campaign was entertaining (unless you were a hardcore Tokienist, in which case you were probably horrified). However, being his nonstop -unable to move- by a warrior got a little annoying, or being backstabbed by a scout... the multiplayer needed more diversity.
I'd rather they put time and effort into making a Middle Earth RPG like Skyrim... but in middle earth. They almost did this a view years back, making a game called 'The White Council', however the game was cancled to make Conquest (another reason why i don't like conquest).
The White Council was everything I though an LoTR game should be: a vast open world, intriguing characters (and relationships using technology from the Sims), storyline, middle earth...

Conquest was not too bad , but there are too many flaws which make the game pretty boring in the end . Only four races , and four classes for them all ! Lol ! In Star Wars Battlefront there were more classes and races . The gameplay itself is pretty repetitive and the fights are getting really annoying because the commands are not accurate . The Mages are overpowered , and Orc Mages ! What a joke !
Scouts were heroe killers , but what the hell a scout can stab With King in the back , KILLING it instantanetly ? Since how long Aragorn has an axe ? and Gimli , why does he have fire bombs ? Same for Witch King ? An Axe ? No mace ? Sauron is lame ! So weak and so fast ! The heroes and utits are all steroids dudes , too much OP or underpowered for some .

Maps are really too small , too linear too . Campaign was a way too short , and lot of big mistakes ( Moria reclamied ? WTF ? ) were darkening the final result .


So I don't really want to see a new Conquest if it has the same flaws .

I would love a Skyrim-esque LOTR game, I think that would be great. I do remember hearing about the white council and then like that it was gone, which is ashame. In retrospect, I dont think a LOTR conqest 2 or other type of sequel will be made since it was an overall disappointment (even though it wasnt to me) and financial loser. Also, I dont see how a sequel could be made since they already used most of the places that could be game maps. Personally I never cared about the accuracies of characters abilities or weapons, I really just liked the competitiveness of the multiplayer and trying to master all of the classes. I would definitely settle for them bringing back the multiplayer servers for the original conquest. Or at least letting console gamers host and take part in private online games.

I would love a sequel with the same idea, but the entire game would need to be revamped imo.

The original was horrible IMO. The gameplay was clunky and classes were overbalanced. Then you had hundreds of wizards flying across the battlefield. Nah. I'll past on a sequel.

Play one of Xbox Kingdom Under Fire games. They should satisfy you. Crusaders works on the Xbox 360. They are basically Action-RPG's RTS games. You command an army and a hero and when commanding troops, the game plays as an RTS but once your hero's troops engage in melee, you take control of your hero and can freely attack people.

At times, there's hundreds of people fighting on the battlefield. AI allies included. The games have high fantasy settings with orcs, elves, dark elves, vampires and ogres. There's also dragons and giant eagles. The game has a very amazing plot and the story is brilliantly told.

Conquest was suppose to capture the war aspect of LOTR and it failed so terribly that even Satan ended up crying and he's evil!

If a LOTR series is going to be revived, then it should be Battle For Middle Earth. BEST RTS ON XBOX 360 PERIOD. Halo Wars and Command and Conquer haven't got anything on Battle For Middle Earth 2. Even off-line, the game is the beast because of the addictive skirmish mode.

Amen. I'm still playing the first one to this date; never played the second one, always wanted too because I've heard its great, buy as it is no longer being sold for the PC i don't think I'll be able to.
However, with the Hobbit coming out you might get your wish with maybe a BFME: Hobbit edition

P.S. anyone here play the Xbox 360 version of BFME2, as it is the only one they sell now I want to know if its worth it on the Xbox
