Mm, some do.

The bulk of them though say "EA" something Hmm....Uhm.....dunno lol still though when you're up for a game let me know. :P really addictive stuff.

 



I really like the game.  Instant stealth kills are fun to pull off.  The archer and mage are both fun to play as well.  I imagine the warrior is fun to play when you figure him out too.  I havn't spent enough time to really figure them out yet.  They're the only class you can't just pick up the controller, learn the basic buttons, and have fun with.  You really have to know what you're doing with them.

Anyways, do you have to complete the tutorial for the single player stuff?  All i've done is multiplayer.  Oh, and i'm playing it on the 360, so it is up on xbox live.

Oh, and the trolls/ents are player controlled.  They spawn in the back at times and you press a button at them to control them.  At times gandolf and (cant think of the name, the thing from the mines of moria) are controllable.



The Knights X+R1+O Combo is unreal. but leaves them open after there done using it.

So with that Scouts > Knights.

Only issue with scouts, is the fact that there energy is there achiles Heel and if you have none left you WILL be someones bitch by anyone in any class.



The demo is really fun. But scouts are super cheap.

Not really.  All they have is the one hit kills.  If they're discovered they may as well lay down and die unless they're fighting complete morons.  Also, depends on the map.  They're nearly useless in the castle map because it's all close quarters combat.  the archers and the mages are really powerful there.

One problem I see right now is, ents are way weaker than trolls.  I don't even bother grabbing an ent when I see one.  They seem to have half the health a troll does, and their attacks are twice as slow.  I've tried using an ent 4 times, and i'm not sure i've hit anyone yet.  Every time the ent finally gets around to attacking, the enemy is usually 10 yards away already.  Plus they're super weak against the archers fire arrow.

Also, every once in a while, the games graphics go to hell.  This game really seems more like it's in a beta state rather than an early demo for a soon to be released game.  Oh well, it's still a lot more fun than I thought it would be.



What does the game come out btw?

And yeah, the graphics are NOT amuseing just decent.

And wtf? Scouts are awesome i've taken down a Knight without using the backstab ability.

You just gotta know how to use there energy correctly.



Like I said before, most people don't know how to play knights yet.  They aren't a pick up and play kinda class.  Unless you one shot them, you won't win against a good knight.  They're really powerful in the hands of someone whos learned how to play one.  It comes out january 13th.  Think i'm gonna make one of my friends buy this for me as a wedding present.  Don't really wanna spend 60 dollars on it, but free... that's another story. =P  Also, the way they run the servers, they could let 360 and ps3 people play together.  Would be nice for the ps3 people.  I hate playing most games online with my ps3.  Such a pain sometimes.



The demo is really good, I agree. The single player was far too easy, but hell, it's a tutorial level, it's meant to be easy. I liked the Battlefront influences in a LoTR game.

The multiplayer was great too. It was like a team shooter, but not a shooter at all. It was... different. In a good way.

And the full game has splitscreen, although the demo does not.
