With a lot of people starting to play AOE 2 again I also wouldn't be surprised if we see a couple of tournaments. Aoe 2 already has a very active scene and with this they could really grow! All hail viper the flash of AOE2! | ||

To be honest I am surprised more companies have not stepped up on the "retro" remake trend. It is a way to rehash tired IP in a "cool" way instead of beating dead horses. Sony did this they put out a few games in Hd on the ps3 and square has FF X HD coming | ||

I wish they would add in a A-move button. The only thing I disliked about the game was lack of a-move button. But then again, you could set units into different settings so that they would engage enemies when in sight.. I remember there was like community mod that included 4 additional races? Microsoft should pick up on that and upgrade the game! | ||

On Youtube one of the comments was "This isn't HD" to which the reply was "It's in 1080p, it's HD." For people who don't care, don't buy it. It's a ***** to get this game to run on modern computers, it's annoying as heck to host multiplayer games with the original client thanks to rotating IPs, and colouring is off. This remaster is awesome and I will buy it.

I used to be on the same page as you with the no a-move thing, but you can set a patrol point and it does the same thing as a-moving (basically, it's p-moving). EDIT: Game is only $15 if you can find 3 friends, it's on for 59.99 for 4 copies. | ||

At least AOE2 didn't have a free mod that basically did the same thing (that I know of at least). | ||

Its fratured between several unofficial patch versions and several gaming platforms. If this rerelease could manage to unite everyone, that would be really cool. | ||

I just hope that Microsoft and steam really work on the multiplayer and give the game the support it deserves: implement solid multiplayer matchmaking, bring out at least a few balance patches and support the custom map community. I really hope this will be the opportunity for all AoE gamers to unite and get together under one roof. Right now, the community is so fractured, it's just sad. As we speak, you have players on voobly trying to bash AoE HD and hoping that things stay as they are...If you don't want to play on steam, I don't mind but do not come and spew BS about how much it costs when the majority of gamers are playing cracked versions of the game they never bought lol... | ||

This is taking me back to my childhood when my first real multiplayer game was AoE2. My first gaming clan was an AoE2 clan. The first time I ever got truly upset by a game company was after the AoE2 servers were just shut down. While the campaigns were fun and enjoyable anyone who didn't play much online back in the day owes it to themselves to play some of the custom games. They were unbelievably fun. We aren't even getting into how great just regular multiplayer is or the really great single player for this game just the custom games alone (if they're re-created in Steam workshop) justify the $20 price tag. So long as the online is stable, it's easy to make rooms for your friends to play with you, and the match making works as intended this will be the best game to come out for a long ass time for me. + Show Spoiler + I am legitimately excited to spam chat sounds to people again. | ||

If you're already active with the AoCZone community and know how to get games up and running, yeah it's worthless. However, there are a LOT of people who can't get it to work. For starters, there are way too many different community-made patches and it's not clear which one you should get. After that, it's annoying getting multiplayer going. This HD remaster negates both of those problems; this is what a lot of people were waiting for. I hope Forgotten Empires gets on Steam Workshop. | ||
