"where was gondor when command point B fell" - Théoden, Bantha fodder

This is very lore accurate. The only reason Saruman lost the Battle for Helms Deeps because he couldn't capture the command posts

I love how Frodo is the most broken hero in the game. U can literally back stab Sauron to death no problem. U become invisible, u can fight while invisible and if u get behind any hero, u can instakill them with back stab.

The only time I ever saw my father cry was when we saw Return of the King in the cinema and the scene came on where Frodo is hoisted into the air by the Nazgul and drops 50ft in a T-pose to his death.

Gondor: "We don't have enough men to defend the country" Also gondor: "let's fucking attack Minas morgul"

Any movie can be turned into a battlefront-style game by just adding a lot of random dudes and murder

My most vivid memory of this game was attacking the Shire on the evil campaign, I finally got enough points for Sauron. Spawned as him and immediately got instakilled by an Eagle. I spawned, took like 3 steps and it swooped past and carried me off. I wasn't even mad.

Me and my sister still play this to this day when she’s in town. It’s always the first thing she asks to do lol. The game is mindless fun but so absurdly unbalanced it’s amazing they released the game lol

One of my favorite memories was my friend becoming Sauron in the Shire on the evil campaign only to instantly get grabbed by an eagle and die.

This game was great, very limited and simple but just mindless fun

I never understood why this game sort of fell under the radar. It’s an ingenious idea to make a Lord of the Rings game in the style of Battlefront, and it really feels like you’re in the movies.

I'd love to go back in time, show this game to Tolkien and record his reaction. According to his son, Tolkien probably would have hated the Jackson Trilogy for having "too much mindless action" so I can't imagine how he'd respond to this!

Honestly I don’t know why more franchises haven’t used the Battlefront formula.

As someone who played the shit out of Conquest, spam abilities. They're busted. Particularly the fire circle from the mages, just melts fodder.

This game was actually awesome, they totally recreated locations from the movies perfectly. They had secret moves you could do as hero units and This game wasn't forgotten the online servers got pulled for battlefield 3. I was like 5-20th on the leaderboards when the servers died :'(

I played this game as a kid. I remember loving it and playing Split-screen combat. its a fond memory for me.

"where was Gondor when command point b fell" had me in stiches I wasnt ready

I used to play the hell out of this, you could use the basic assassin to backstab and instant kill bosses, it was so fun but broken as hell, not to mention the Evil campaign was great

1:55 “dark brotherhood initiate” had me fucking weak 😂

Honestly, one of my favorite games when I was a kid. Brings back memories.

Every time a battle ended with "it is I, Normal Person, come to do what [main character] could not" I cackled with laughter

"Where's the first book." There weren't any large scale battles in the first book. The biggest battles in Fellowship of the Ring had only 9 people (i.e. the "fellowship") on the side of the good guys.

Man there are so many great meta jokes in here. My favourite was ''Did you know that I broke my toe when I kicked that helmet?''

MY GOD that's a trip down memory lane. I remember playing this game so much, even on like 20 fps since my PC back then was terrible for it. Such good memories.

LOTR: conquest is the closest thing we can get to Star Wars: Battlefront III.

The fell beasts just dropping Frodo was the best thing I've seen all day

all I remember from this game is that it changes the lore so some unnamed assassin guy backstabs all of the main enemies instead of anyone significant fighting them

"We have him now, men, he's stuck between two tents!" -JRR Tolkien

That thumbnail is so meta, I'm not sure if you're a genius or totally insane

When I was 8, I saw this game selling at Office Deport of all places, and I thought "Man how cool would it be if it was just Battlefront 2 but Lord of the Rings... but it probably isn't. It's probably lame and I, as an 8 year old who doesn't get that many games, shouldn't get it." And every time I hear people say "it's literally just Battlefront 2 but Lord of the Rings" I get a little bit more depressed that I didn't have the crystal ball to see that I was right all along.

I didn’t forget this game. I own a copy. Still play it now and then. Wish it had more to the game. Like a Conquest mode like Battlefront where you chose a faction and conquer Middle-Earth for Sauron or Liberate it and you can make multiple armies to lead with their own individual leaders you play as or your own custom character.

7:23 GoT season 8 in a nutshell

I completely lost it when the Witch King steals Frodo and it just pans to Frodo falling to death.

One of the best games I’ve ever played, it’s one of those to play with the boyz on a Saturday night . 10/10 Frodo is a OP scout also Orc Capitan Price , I love that

this was such a badass game i wish it came back, so severely underrated

I played this game to death with my brothers as a teenager. Definitely a flawed game, but it’ll always hold a special place in my cold, dead heart.

"Alright random archer, Aragorn's dead, you're up!" "What the fu--"

I love how they still have the voice updating you in battle sound like he's talking over a radio lol

I absolutely love your videos man. Your broad range of pop culture knowledge and all things I enjoy to play and watch is awesome. I appreciate all the references you put in your videos too, keep it up, can’t wait for the next video!

4:35 and Frodo die doing a T pose

I lost my shit at televangelist gandalf especially at "If you want blessings of aluvatar upon you ,you must give me $500 for a private jet"

Oboe: "It's a fair rematch. Gandalf and 500 soldiers vs the Balrog." Lore: "It was in fact, not a fair rematch. Gandalf did not bring nearly enough meat shields."

i never forgot this game, it got laserburned in my 360 when my brother knocked it over, this was like 13 years ago and i still think about that moment like twice a week

This game when it came out was massively addicting and the online play was so good I am so sad they stopped this

I remember me and my brother getting HEATED during split screen PVP of this game, we would do Hero battles with no AI, only scout on this one map that was basically a dark hallway with destroyed pillars in it and a pit of fire on one end and try and stab each other in the back.

i remember playing this as a kid. played with my friends in split screen; seem to remember playing as frodo and ganking them from invis, one got mad and broke his controller. good times.

This is not forgotten, I LITERALLY think about this game every single day. I used to play the demo ALL THE TIME on the PS3, and I could never remember its name!

Last I checked my mate and I had the world record for the evil campaign on co-op. Sadly it's not official as we didn't record it but we were just messing around and beat it by a fair amount

Frodo T-posing while he falls to his death is something that I never knew I needed to see

I loved this game as a kid. Got it second hand for 8 bucks and immediately went holy shit its battlefront with lotr where could it really go wrong

3:50 knowing the lore of Balrogs that actually is a fair rematch.

0:26 the first movie was not apart of the War of The Ring. The first battle of this war was Helm’s Deep as all the other things we see are ambushes and raids. The Battle of Isengard happens at the same time. The Battle of Osgiliath is the third and at a similar time Aragorn and the army of the undead defeats the Corsairs in the South. The battle of Pelenor Fields happens as Aragorn sails north on the stolen Corsair ships. Rohan intervenes but the Battle of Pelenor Fields doesn’t end in victory for the good guys until Aragorn arrives. As the bloody Battle of Pelenor fields goes on Sauron send a massive legion of Easterlings to fight in the Battle for Erebor or The Lonely Mountain. Lastly we have the last gathering of men only counting to maybe below a thousand fighting at the climax that was The Battle of the Black Gate which happens right as Frodo and Sam made it to Mount Doom and the ring was destroyed by a clumsy Gollum.

Mindless fun. Best way to describe this game. Also, this gameplay is literally an IGN reviewer

I remember as a kid playing Battlefront 2 thinking "It would be great if they did this for TLotR" and then later I ended up playing this at a friend's house.

This really was how Rings of Power handled the lore isn't it...

“Forgotten“ I literally played this just a few days ago and it always was kind of one of my favorite LOTR games

The fact that I have never seen you use special powers hurt me greatly. Most heroes are really fun just going full zerg with maxed special bar :)

I’d never be able to forget this game I played hundreds of hours of it, absolutely adore it still it felt really ahead of its time

I remember the multiplayer beta being one of the top 5 gaming experiences ive ever had

I LOVED this game. I remember playing it when I was very little. Never knew how to do the multiplayer options, thus never could play so. However I had great fun playing with the AI. About a year ago, I revisited the game and completed both Good and Evil campaigns. 10/10

I remember the dark campaign's first mission being the most difficult thing in the game. Loved it though when I was younger

You’ve just unlocked a memory and I love you for it. Bashing out the campaign with friends on this are some of my best memories from early highschool

Love how he was like, this is hard, and wasn't using any of his abilities in the first level

This was literally the only game my dog ever decided to chew on and I will never forgive him for it.

The day oboe said “bussin” was the day my soul left my body

Lost but not forgotten I will forever remember this as an amazing game

okay "where was Gondor when command point B fell" is comedic gold.

Nothings funnier than playing as Sauron in hobbiton and dying after getting carried off by one of the eagles,he just disappears into the sky with the bird 😂

I used to play this all the time when I was a kid.

My buddy and I played the Isengard level a couple of months ago. At the end we baited Saruman out of the tower to see if the AI ents would pick him up and throw him. They did not, in fact he murdered like 70 of our guys (ents included) before we got bored and killed him ourselves.

2009: Wow what a great game! I wonder what we'll get in the future! 2023: Here's a game about Gollum lmao

This was like my favorite game back in the day bro, so underrated: deserves a remaster

I assumed this was hyperbole, but it's like literally just BF2 in LoTR. Can't believe I didn't remember this game

This was my favorite LOTR game that I'd played. Yeah, it's technically not as good as some of the others, but man, it was just way too fun for me

**Legolas runs in to an oliphaunt's leg and fucking dies** That still only counts as one!

"I'm playing on controller by the way, which is why I can't hit a single Urukai Grunt" also "E to climb ladder" 1:00

I hope one day they make an Ancient Rome themed game like this

This was such a fun game to play on Xbox Live. I used to know how to get out of all the maps and explore the outer boundaries. You could use a warrior and if you did an air attack just right you could enter whole new sections of Minas Tirth that were not normally accessible.

Gandalf in the thumbnail: these orcs ‘bout to learn today

I remember playing this game in Walmart on the demo consoles and I was so blown away at the time XD

I never forgot this game. I used to play this all the time with my friends in high school. It was so funny watching them pilot legendary heroes only to instantly get killed by my rogue.

I was playing this a couple days ago no joke. I do really wish there was a remake of this game that fixed the balance issues

I remember split-screening this with my little brother on PS2, and him killing me as the Balrog with a shitty hobbit archer lol

Gandalf is just like hold on let me sheath my sword in my hood real quick.

I remember playing this against all my friend in split screen and then playing solo I loved playing as that specific type of troll with the armor on lol

I PLAYED THIS ALL THE TIME WITH MY FRIEND. Good campaign is not as fun, but in the mines of moria you can watch everyone "Rally at THE STAIRS!" Only to push each other off and jump to their dooms. Sad music and everything plays its amazing. Also, makes were so op and out of place I loved it. Rogues too! Ever seen sauroman or Gandalf just get decked by a dude with a dagger? It's amazing.

This is such a nostalgic game. I remember my sister and pulling up the 1v1s and assassins back stab 1 hit kill was stupid as heck

holy shit I lost it at frodo just being dumped from the fell beast lmao

This was kinda cool, i remember seeing gameplay for the game as a kid and some years later i saw it on sale. Played it all the time up until Shadow of Mordor came out lol

I never forgot this game. It was so epic. Such a cool concept.

Frodo had some 10/10 AI. Exactly like the film. I could barely tell the difference from the real thing.

Playing as Aragorn makes this look like a prototype of Shadow of Mordor lol

"Mom can we get shadow of war" "No we have shadow of war at home"

This man really didn't use any powers for so long. Legendary YT Plays. Love it.

I remember playing this with my cousin, every time he managed to get a hero character I’d just swap to the assassin and backstab

I think the thumbnail alone might be a product of the direct hand of God working through the channel owner. What an epic crossover lmao.

Having just played MW2 again a few weeks ago, this reference was funny as hell.

I loved this game. I was responsible for discovering several popular out-of-bound glitches, with my most cherished accomplishment being at the black gate. Spam a move that pushes you forward (easiest with Legolas's shield surf or a warrior rush, with you needing to be attacked to glitch in if other class). You want to press your character's body into the pointed metal triangles just beside the gate in the nearby rockside.

"So I ordered some Lord of the Rings miniatures...." Ok now I have to see them. Because Moria Goblins are what got me into tabletop.

The thumbnail photo may be the most clever fantasy mashup of all time
