Can't belive people fell for this one...

DON'T TRUST ANY NEWS UNTIL APRIL 2!!

 

[Mooreberg]

How is this a joke? Is this funny to anyone?

HAPPY MARCH 31ST, BRO!!!!1111

 

[ultratruman]

Why would you be so cruel

 

[TheSadRanger]

The screens are very telling as well. They look like a mod for BFME1/2 not models from a generation of new hardware.



Compared to a custom model for BFME

It's been a while since I've played but I'm pretty sure some of those models are BFME2 assets as well

 

[ArjanN]

In these types of April fools its not the joke that is funny but peoples reactions to it, the angst in here goddamn priceless.

You must love troll comics...

 

[Lingitiz]

Fuck this.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

HAHAHA, WHAT A GREAT JOKE.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

lol! So cruel to fans of this franchise.

 

[marlowesghost]

The pain lingers.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Fuck this shit.

 

[jaypah]

That's fucked for fans. If this was Mega Man I would have lost it. Not cool!

Can't belive people fell for this one...

DON'T TRUST ANY NEWS UNTIL APRIL 2!!

Agreed. They can announce Metroid 5, Half-Life 3, Banjo-Threeie, The Last Guardian and Shenmue III tomorrow for all I care, but I'm not believing shit until the 2nd.

 

[bryehn]

That's some cruel bullshit WB.

 

[Magnetic_North]

This isn't funny...

This isn't funny at all...

 

[UnderWaterTree]

 

[alterno69]

These "jokes"

 

[mnannola]

Hook, line and sinker. Damn.

 

[The Lamonster]

there is only one lord of the rings and he does not share power

 

[roytheone]

Ugh, I really, REALLY want a real battle for middle earth III. The second one is one of my favourite RTS games ever.

 

[JordanKZ]

*Proceeds to die inside*

 

[MattyG]

 

[Lord Phol]

Aw man that's just cruel, love the battle for middle earth games.

 

[evangd007]

April Fool's is the worst. The "jokes" are almost never legitimately funny and almost always "I wish this was real, fuck this" jokes. Hell they're not even jokes, just an excuse of a day for people to make cruel teases. Serves no actual funny purpose, and this is coming from a guy who loves comedy.

Who wants to mock up a Snake in Smash Wii U and MGS V Wii U website?

I'm seriously surprised nobody has tried to cook that up yet.

 

[DieH@rd]

Cruel.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Poor form...

 

[Deadpool_X]

Whois Info:

Whoa now...maybe we can leave out the dude's personal info? I mean, listing his personal phone number and home address is a little messed up...

 

[Korosenai]

Fuck this shit. I love battle for middle earth 2.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

 

[Shark Attack]

Whoa now...maybe we can leave out the dude's personal info? I mean, listing his personal phone number and home address is a little messed up...

Pretty sure that is GoDaddy info

 

[Darkroronoa]

They should not joke with stuff like these..

 

[RdN]

Damn, this one hurts.

 

[antitrop]

Where's the joke in this?

 

[Lucreto]

I loved the second game and I got excited for a second.

 

[SJRB]

The idiot in the marketing team who thought this was funny deserves to get fired.

 

[friday]

I thought April fools announcements were supposed to be kinda obvious and funny, this seems like a very legit announcement. Also not funny.

 

[Samus4145]

There's a hit counter in the Source. Someone wants to laugh at anyone that visits.

 

[NullPointer]

Fuck off if this is an early April fools joke, BFME1 is one of my favorite RTS games ever.

This so damn much. If this is a joke its a bad one.

 

[weevles]

There's a hit counter in the Source. Someone wants to laugh at anyone that visits.

wow. Feeding on fans' tears...

 

[Com_Raven]

please don't be april fools

this sounds like a load of shit. what is middle-earth enterprises?

Only, you know, the company that owns Middle-earth

http://www.middleearth.com/

This is the kind of joke I hate- too early (obviously aimed at US/ Europe where it was still March 21st) and just a straight up "lulz here is a game you would love, just kidding".

That's why I think Blizzard always has the best jokes- clearly fake, but all good-natured and with alot of effort put in actually...

 

[makingmusic476]

This is a particularly cruel joke. ='(

 

[matrixman92]

"You know, we truly are The Battle for Middle Earth III: The Battle of the Five Armies"

 

[Xaero Gravity]

I fucking hate April 1st...

 

[bathsalts]

Going to go out of my way to find the most dirt cheap copy of the next Batman on Nuveem or stacked gmg vouchers.

 

[The Cowboy]

I fucking hate April 1st...

At this rate they should just change April fools day to March 31st, it really seems like people don't quite get April fools day is April 1st (i know its April 1st now, but this was put out yesterday and it was March 31st for almost everywhere)).

Also, April fools should be "OMG they are really doing this?, that's really weird!!!. Wait, LOL April fools!", not "OMG i want this so bad, I've waited years for this again. Wait, April fools? - bloody gits".

 

[Tainted]

I fucking hate April 1st...

April Fools day was amusing about 10 years ago.....but to me it's just become tedious. You may as well just not read any news at all between Mar 31-Apr 1, as it is just become a pissing contest to see who can come up with the biggest 'joke'

 

[Flunkie]

What a shitty fucking joke. Assholes.

 

[NyMartin90]

Damn I fell for this, BFME was one of the greats. Now I don't know what's happening to my favorite genre other than Total War

 

[Olengie]

I want this to be real. <|3
