Similarly, just because RE says it will play like AoK doesn't mean it will. Here's the deal. Many old AoT and Aoe3 players have gotten into the closed Beta. A lot of them have lost interest very quickly. They aren't allowed to say why, but if old school "Age of" players are already quitting the game (I read something about there being difficulties finding a 1v1) then I think that it doesn't play a lot like AoK... either that or there's some other big issue with it. Doesn't sound like an AoK remake but some weird RTS/something hybrid. Not likin' the sound of it. | ||

only played AoE1 and 2 before, and this looks like a 5 step backwards from where they started the series... | ||

http://www.alienwarearena.com/news/247/age-of-empires-online-limited-closed-beta-giveaway/ I've been following AoE:O a bit more and after my initial anger at the cartoony graphics, I have to say the gameplay looks really good. Also I think the graphics may look a lot better on your own display where you can see the detail more. Head over to gametrailers.com and check out some of the newer graphics, the gameplay looks really interesting. | ||

I don't expect much but just having even a decently fun traditional RTS would be great. I just hope the MMO type stuff doesn't really get too important or involved. | ||

At least AoE 2 has aged pretty well. | ||

From what I've played of beta (admittedly not that much, and none spent in multiplayer) it seems like this is just AoE 2 with new graphics and less races. The MMO aspect just seemed like a non-essential extended tutorial of sorts. Correct me if I'm wrong though, because I'm only a level 7 or so. | ||

I can't put my finger on it. It is kind of like ranting BW-SC2, except you will definetely be right when you rant about how much AoEO ruined everything. The charm is just gone from the game, I can still pick up an AoE2 game every once in a while but Online just disgusts me. Especially the whole levelling system. It is kind of like AoE3, except slow as fuck and this actually blocks you're tech tree. AoE3 was at least only upgrades and you could get the really essential ones pretty quickly.

If you are here you probably already have either BW or SC2, go play those. Better games in every single way imaginable. And if you don't, then go check out the sports and games forum, there is a lot of better games out there for free. Or alternatively: Clicky! | ||

I agree about the leveling system, but it seems like the core game of AoE2 is intact. Looking at the tech tree, all the same buildings are there and similar units. I wasn't an avid AoE2 player so I don't know the intricate details of the game but it seems like people who like AoE should at least give this game a shot and not put it off as cartoony or dumbed down. | ||
