One very big difference you didn't mention - in the BFME 1 campaign you keep your armies and get resources from all the territories you conquer - there's nothing like that in BFME 2 where the campaign is just a set of missions.

@HippiSnacks Жыл бұрын

BFME 1 is one of the best RTS games ever made. There could be more hero’s and I would like Aragon to be with the Gondor faction. But other than that it’s perfect.

@KawfeeKun Жыл бұрын

Bfme 2’s overworld grand campaign mode (war of the ring) lets you actually fight battles in real time like total war was amazing and while also letting you have that huge map to conquer and is often overlooked despite how epic it was.

@YahyaBek Жыл бұрын

Whats make bfme unique ist the way of play, almost nothing similar to other rts games. On bfme 2 it is like a mass and chaos. Only armies die and come others. On bfme i would almost cry if i lost a battalion. What is more beautiful than a lvl 7 or higher battalion

@Carlito.undercover Жыл бұрын

Can you explain this difference to me a bit more? I am trying to get into BFME2 having played BFME1 back in the day, I am not really enjoying the loss of armies and just waves and waves of back and forth armies.

@YahyaBek Жыл бұрын

@@Carlito.undercover The two games are different, yes almost same animation and controls, but 1 more like Quality vs Quantity (1 battalion can with leadership kill 5 others). In Bfme2 it is about fighting with waves until one of the 2 has no money. Don't get me wrong, it is also great game, but for me i like bfme 1 play style much more. U need to try both to decide ur self

I started playing BFME II first, but I learned to love BFME I more, since you have less units, you can level them more, heroes are not so OP and it has more similarities to the movies.

I think BFME2 is way better because you have the freedom to build your structures anywhere on the map. plus play more defensively, which is how I would play a RTS game. basically C&C Generals vibe. BFME1 is too basic and everything gets very repetitive after a while.

The LOTR BFME game series will probably be available on GOG soon, along with an announcement for either separate BFME 1 & 2 remasters, or they will combine both games and expansions into one big remake/remastered game, Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle-Earth Ultimate or something along those lines, that way they can justify a full price tag for it, in the meantime we can buy and play the GOG released originals to tide us over, I'd happily pay £20 each for 1/2/expansions from GOG, hopefully they work with Windows 7 not just 10.

BFME1 is for me. I remember seeing trailer for it in the Return of the King game aaaaall the way back in 2003 and I was hyped instantly. Been returning to first good or evil campaign ever since once in a 5 years or so. BFME2 wasn't the same as I was huge fan of LOTR movies, not so much of everything else. I enjoyed RotWK a lot though.

@lisboah Жыл бұрын

In terms of campaign, I prefer BFME1. The final score after we fight in a region, the fact that we can create an elite army throughout the campaign and the optional quests were actually kind of fun. In terms of gameplay, I prefer BFME2. Not only it has more factions, but I prefer the upgrade mechanic better. Rather than waiting for the buildings to reach the next level in order to get the upgrades we want, we can spend resources to speed things up. I also like that we can build anywhere we want, instead of being forced to go across the map looking for building spots. That way we can spend more time building and improving rather than having to stay vigilant of our enemies destroying our buildings.

Obviously. 2 failed not only in lore and balancing but also game mechanics and formations. The only advantage 2 had over 1 was powers… That was literally it… PS After they united 2 countries in 1 in the 2nd game: Gondor+Rohan they had to nerf the crap out of their units, in order not to make that faction OP, which made the entire game completely stupid in terms of lore/balance…

For some reason the BFME games had bad compatibility with newer OS versions, Win XP is the best one to play them on, which is why it's a good idea to have a decent XP gaming rig for playing the classics like the BFME games, the Black & White series is another good example of needing an XP gaming rig to play them properly, hopefully GOG will be announcing the BFME games to be available on there soon.

BFME2 is imo better because it takes alot from the book, whereas BFME1 is only based on the movies. Love the movies, but the books is where the real magic is. The best Bfme2 experience is with the Age of the Ring mod, it fixes every problem with the original game and adds so much awesome content, including a campaign based on the events of LOTR that destroys the one found in BFME1

@onassi Жыл бұрын

BFME 2 > BFME 1 Mainly because there are more ways to win with each faction than in BFME 1. I've watched hundreds of BFME 1 games over the years, and basically you can guess right away how the game will play out and end based on the factions involved, because there typically is one (maybe 2) different strategies one can effectively use, whereas in BFME 2, things can take wild twists and turns simply due to the fact that you can build anywhere and have more potential units/heroes to work with

@drwt03 Жыл бұрын

I'm sorry, but how is the BFME 1 campaign amazing? I've never played either game when they got released and decided to give it a go now, and I have to say that the campaign was very, very mediocre. Most of the missions are just skirmishes, and the ones with heroes / unique settings are too easy and hold no surprises. Warcraft, C&C, Dawn of War and Co would like a word

BFME 2 (1.09) is much better. I've recently played BFME 1 after years and it is much less dynamic: "spell book" is smaller, there are less units, less heroes, there are no battle stances, there are less factions and less freedom. BFME1 units seem to be less responsive as well. The only good thing about the first game is you have better (arguably) campaign and build plots. But then you have War of the Ring mode in second game and build plots maps.
