 I don't mind for content updates but I really hope they will try to balance the game. And I'm crossing my fingers for a good multiplayer platform ^^" | ||

You are paying $20 for the multiplayer experience, which you can have for free on gamespy/gameranger, besides i hardly think the community will make the switch. Whaaat...? Ok the game has neglible graphics improvements, the main improvement is the addition of resolution's (which is a huge bonus for anybody looking to replay the game nowadays, and anybody looking to try it out) With the re-release alot of people will either re-buy it, or buy it now to play as its not got shitty resolutions / graphics and looks 100% terrible in the modern-era, this will attract ALOT of people, believe it or not, compared to the original. The community wont make the switch? sure...Better netcode, matchmaking, untold more players, workshop (good mod support) is a real downer right. The community will jump at the chance imo. Although i think the price is a little steep, but it will no doubt drop after a month or two. I think £10 / $15 is a better starting point, people could justify that (even if its a little high for a HD remake) for the HD + Multiplayer but £15 / $20 is just a bit too high, hence all the complaining here, i think all the other prospective buyers will think the same too, which sucks as it coul dhave really resurged the community | ||

The biggest issue is that there won't be matchmaking for Forgotten Empires, which pretty much everyone plays now. Years of work by most of the pros and modders isn't going to go to waste for easier matchmaking (AoFE already has better graphics/resolutions, the only thing that really looks much better in HD is the water), which is the only thing most players care about. People will probably stay on GR/GAR/Voobly. | ||

The controls are terrible, and looking at a lets play, I can see that the guy playing has more control options than me, for example, it seems his crossbowmen have a hold position action which is certainly not in the vanilla game I'm playing, which only has a "stop" action. WTF? In most AOE games there's a button to show "advanced orders" which would give you the different stance buttons. Also I don't think AOE3 is the best way to prepare. You're better off getting age 2 or if you don't care for "piracy" then actually Age of Empires Online would be a better choice, as the gameplay closely resembles that of AOE2, the only major difference is that some units take up more than one point of population. | ||

When people quit playing the AI is all that is left. Nah. The AI was fucking awesome. I remember playing on the hardest difficulty..and at a certain point in the game you would suddenly see a long line of red slowly crawling towards you. I remember playing lan with my brother, killing trees with catapults to make fortifications in the woods and try to win from the AI that way.  But yea..as a child everything seems awesome, maybe in retrospect the AI was a bit dumb . | ||

It does NOT mean high polygon. Metal Gear Solid 2 HD is the same as Metal Gear Solid 2 except no jagged lines, no-one complained about that. I don't understand why there's so much misunderstanding on this being an HD rerelease and not a remake. | ||

I did play it when i was younger but it was a while ago and i'm pretty certain i wasnt very good. Are there camera location hotkeys? Can you bind buildings to hotkeys? Also i heard something about there being no true a-move - how does that work? | ||
