Why didn't this get a bigger front page story?? Who cares about a new Lord of the Rings milked game, bring on a mod success!!! Support these devs they make our games fresh and innovative. To bring us the Katamaris and the Gods of Wars not a 31st Tomb Raider sequel. Bring on talent!

For Singleplayer, go for COD or whatever, but for online action, this game will be numero fuckin one. and thats final. Unless Quake Wars actually comes out this year, AND delivers whats promised, RO:O could very well be MP game of the year, me thinks

I really liked this game when it was a mod (I actually bought ut2003 just for this mod)... but the problem with it was that not enough people played it (probably about 2-3 servers at any given time with players in them). My guess is that since it is a realistic mod made for just about the most unrealistic game made, ut2003 players just weren't interested in it.

I guess we'll see how steam helps this problem.

Bought when I get my next paycheck. >$30 is an acceptable risk for the promise of a game unlike any I've played before. Same reasoning I used for Darwinia, and it paid off in spades.
