BRB gotta re-install a 20 year old game instead of playing anything in my backlog
post
And those custom maps? Fantastic!
I never played the first one, but I absolutely loved BFME2 as a kid. It was a shame it didn't have the same campaign as 1, following the story of the movies/novel. (Tbh, I don't remember it having any campaign when I was a kid, but looking it up now it seems like it did.)
In 2023, it even received a major fan-made expansion/overhaul: Age of the Ring, which is still being updated (most recent update: May 2025, with comments after that update referencing "a future update").
I lost my original set-up disks for this, and can't find any replacements online. It's very depressing that I may never get to play this again.
BFME2 is still my favorite RTS of all time
Yeah I absolutely love it. There are still people playing it, modding it, etc.
Age of the Ring even recently released a standalone version of their enormous mod so you don't have to figure out how to install the original game to play their mod.
