Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth II [Gameplay HD] 16:9

Read Description! Last edited on 28.01.2012
Gameplay from "The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II"
on Forochel map. I used "BFME2 Widescreen Enhanced" so its was finally playable.
Getting fed up with peeps not knowing how to search widescreengamingforum,
Here is the page for TLOTR:TBFME2 on WGF..
http://widescreengamingforum.com/dr/lord-rings-battle-middle-earth-ii

Get the BFME2-Widescreen-Enhanced-Mod-1.0.zip
This mod just deletes the fog and elevates the camera so you can see a lot more of the battlefield. If you dont mind playing in 4:3 AR, but you are annoyed by the camera being to close to the ground and not letting you see the whole battlefield, just get this mod.

If you want to play in 16:9 (keep in mind the in-game menu is stretched)
Edit .ini file if you want custom resolution.

After you install the "BFME2 Widescreen Enhanced-Mod"
open the newly created shortcut.

In-game menu is stretched but the rest is in proper aspect ratio.

I recorded this at 1920x1080 because i have some problems with my monitor at 1280x720.
I apologize in advance for those rough cuts in this clip.
Windows Movie Maker sucks! Wax 2.0 sucks!.
I couldnt get this vid done in those editors.
So what i did is: i cut whole gameplay into pieces that i wanted. Then joined them into 1 video and converted it to mkv.
MKV Encode was: 10min 12sec, 4mb/s, 1080p, DXVA compliant; and filesize was 306,4 MB.

At first bitrate was 6mb/s, but youtube compression is so high, that it could be wast of time, so i end up with 4mb/s.


Here are some comparisons:

Now little info about this clip. It starts with the menu; I then choose skirmish and decided to play as Dwarfs against Mordor forces on difficult level. There is also 'brutal' difficulty level. But it takes a lot of time to beat it.
Besides, Dwarfs seems to be pretty much tough, as opposed to Gondor forces or Elfs. But Mordor isnt bad too.

Anyway, i like some ideas in this sequel, but i think i like more the first BFME.

As you can see, there is a little of preparation at the beginning of this vid. I build some mines, then a "barracks" to create dwarfs.
I also wanted to show some graphics improvements over the first game. Not much, but still...
Anyway, this vid is still about battle. Nothing fancy here, no heroes or Balrog in this battle, but...

Oh, everything is set to max (no AA), running quite good on Radeon HD4650, intel q9300 (3GHz), 4GB RAM at 1920x1080.

@austin840052

aarrgh,

just read the description, its updated

[aotayde2]

I have the same question as djaism. How do you make it to 1920x1080 or even 1920x1200? I tweaked the .ini file but didn't seem to notice the difference between that and the highest res in game (1600x1200)???

Lil help please. Thanks!

[Q36BN]

@aotayde2

are you guys blind or sth?

everything is in the description

[Bayg247]

what would you recommed to run this game extra fast with the same high graphics cause im in the market for a computer but i just wanted to be sure

[Q36BN]

@Bayg247

guys, this game is quite old now.

It doesn't have high system requirements

If you read the description, it says i can play this game quite smoothly on ati HD4650 at 1920x1080. This GC was one of the cheapest when i bought it.

[Avedisk4792]

how can i play this game widescreen on my laptop 1366x768 please help

[JohnnyFalIout]

Okay guys - I've done this myself, thumb this shit up.. to get 16:9 the easy way on Widnows 7 or vista. go head towards the windows home button (The start button) on your desktop - the one that opens the menu. Type in this EXACTLY without (") "%Appdata% You will find MY battle for middle earth 2 files, open up the options file and set it to your native format, mine is 1920 1080.. this will make it playable in 16:9!

[JohnnyFalIout]

@Q36BN You'll need to be a little more informative, you are in possession of one of the few Battle for middle earth 2 videos at 16:9 - I'd personally like to let's play this in a video, but I have to have it at 16:9, the links you provided do not work at all. and the Ini file doesn't seem to exist for me.

[kidyakuza]

I thought this game will be the same as War in the North. I just started to like War in the North.

[bearclaw93kkz]

@aotayde2 you can change the screen resolution in the registry files, make sure you make backups though
