I was coming in here to post a thread on this. It should be awesome. I love the Battlefront games, and I love LOTR... this should be pretty damn solid.

Here is IGN's article on it...

The Lord of the Rings: Conquest, the studio's semi-spiritual sequel to its Star Wars: Battlefront work. The game will allow players to jump into any battle seen in the films, as well as some extras, and let you play out the battle any way you see fit.

Conquest will let players take control of many of the characters and creatures from the series and pit them on any of the franchise's famous battlefields. From Cave-trolls to Oliphaunts to the Balrog and even Sauron, practically the entire universe will be available for battle with up to 150 characters on-screen at any one time. Up to eight players will be able to clash online, with four players able to play cooperatively through the main campaign either online or via four-player split-screen. And with two distinct campaigns to play through, including an original take on what would happen if Sauron regained control of the One Ring, Pandemic promises plenty of scenarios to wage battle through.

"Our Pandemic Studios creative teams have years of expertise bringing giant battlefields to life," says Andrew Goldman, Pandemic Studios co-founder and general manager. "We've always wanted to harness our experience in a fantasy universe with warriors, archers, mages and castle sieges. Of course, there is truly no better fantasy world to recreate than the enormity of 'The Lord of the Rings' realm."

"We'll freely admit that we're rabid fans of The Lord of the Rings fantasy," says Josh Resnick, co-founder and general manager at Pandemic Studios. "Our experience creating massive, rich, action-packed games means that The Lord of the Rings: Conquest will give fans exactly what they want: full control of the blade, bow and magic to fight its epic battles any way they want – even if they choose to play from the evil side."

The Lord of the Rings: Conquest is set for release in the fall of 2008 and will hit the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.IGN

This game is going to be ten tons of awesome... seriously. As a huge Battlefront fan this just became my most anticipated game for the fall... well... outside of Little Big Planet anyway.

I have such a mixed track record with LOTR games, some of them I've loved, some I've hated.

I will definitely be keeping an eye on this though, to see how it comes out.

I really cant wait for this game. :D

Frodo with a lightsaber?? F'IN AWESOME!!!!

I don't understand why people always bring up Battlefront! It's a lame wannabe Battlefield game but with a Star Wars skin. This game looks like LOTR + Battlefield, not Battlefront!AtomicTangerine

I liked Battlefront, but I always thought the combat itself was a bit shallow. Hopefully Conquest won't suffer the same fate.

And with that... Any excitment I had just disappeared. I would like to be wrong, but I can't believe that the same studio that put out an average shooter that coasted along on a license will put out an epic licensed game worth playing. Then again, if you guys actually like Battlefront, you will be in for a treat. For me, being a Star Wars game isn't enough to save it when I can play Star Wars games that are actually awesome.

But since I don't like being so negative... What this game really needs are those giant tree things from the second movie. Sure, that movie bored me to death, but just having giant trees was hilarious and awesome all at the same time.
