Anyone play? I got them from my neighbor this morning...he said he can sell them for 200 each easily. It looks really hard to find for the PC, since EA doesn't make them anymore.

Sadly, the first one doesn't work on my PC at all (keeps saying compatibility issues, even if I set it to windows xp) and the dvd is scratched from his dog. But, I got the second one up and running. Haven't really had time to do any long games though, but I did a 15 minute game to see if it worked.

The graphics look good, gameplay looks better than most strategy games I've played. Seems really unique, and definitely (judging by watching my neighbor) one of the better LOTR games that have been made, strategy wise (has there been other strategy ones since?).

I'm probably gonna end up 7zipping it up and putting it in my mega.co account to send to my friend. Might upload it here since the game is so hard to get, but I don't know how multiplayer would work using the same copy. Hey, the game isn't made anymore so, in this case...shouldn't be any problem at all.

As for multiplayer. Here is a link to a multiplayer mod: http://www.moddb.com/games/battle-for-middle-earth-ii/news/t3aonline-for-bfme2-is-released
