Well, when i started playing BFME2 i thought that the AI was incredible. But now, after playing a little while longer, i can tell that there are some small flaws in it. The main thing that is kind of disappointing is that when you start off on a new skirmish or what-have you, you can build a wall, anywhere, and your enemy attacks it... at first i was like, "holy crap!," but now i have learned to exploit the computers need to attack walls by just building a wall away from my buildings and putting some towers to pick off the little boogers, this helps at first by relieving the pressure the first few waves of attacks and gives you time to build up your resources and army. (85% of the time anyways).

I must say though, that this is by far my favorite RTS ever. They have improved the original and even though the "Create-A-Character" isn't as good as i had hoped, it still Rocks My Socks Off. But the true gem of this new version of BFME is the addition of the "War of the Ring." Its like playing risk with Middle Earth! And even if you think you have the AI figured out, try playing a few enemies at the same time and its...
"how do you say, ah yes... AWESOME!"

PS. One other note, i love the fact that you don't have to build a little cookie cutter city like on the first BFME. I like being able to engulf myself in middle earth and put building anywhere i want. this is really an improvement!

Thanks EA, you did something really really right.
