from what ive seen, this game will be in dev long after RTW gets released, perhaps they will pull a valve on us all, and keep pushing the release date back and back.. heck HL 2 is now the next Duke Nukem Forever :p.

personally i wont be buying it, ill be waiting for the middle earth mod for RTW.. one that EA will no doubt try to get legal action against cus it will kill all sales of thier game :p

RTW will be here by chrsitmas, BfME probably wont be out till early next year. Watch where the hype goes ;)
