AC2 has one of the best graphics

but gameplay isnt that good
and you have to pay monthly fee to zone.com to play

you have to pay for AC1 too
but AC1 has good gameplay as alot of problems are fixed

stinky do you know your stuff? I have both (aom and wc3) and find wc to be overly repetitive and i dont like the rpg in rts mix.. my opinion.. I havent played ac2 but have heard that besides the visuals, the game isn't ready for the big time

Jason what the hell would you know about a game in its big time? You havent ever played a mmorpg in your life(and if you did its probably that gay black moon or 4th coming games) and I wouldnt consider that hacked version of warcraft 3 u have a "full" version. You should think b4 you talk so you wont get owned..... again....

LOL!!



i do think AOM is over-rated

all the old schools like me still play AOK just for the fun's sake
and whats the purpose of games?
fun!

yup
AOK and Armada 1 and Battlefield 1942
first two are for old time's sake

WAR3 is awesome
used to play the beta for such a long time until war3pub closed their server...

those were the fun times with tower maps and so on...
those single player movies are awesome too
cant complain about multiplayer....
i prefer it over AOM
AOM's gameplay isnt my taste anymore
I prefer AOK better too
