You guys serious? There's still no thread about this?

What's basically going on is that Steam is selling an old game with revamped graphics for 20$.

There are still quite a few issues that need to be fixed from what I've heard. I haven't played the game yet. No rating system and bad quick match settings, not to mention a buggy game.

Still, there are almost 90k people (mostly noobs though, mind you) playing. It looks like aoe2 could take off for round 2 as an active game.

Who's going to give it a shot?

More importantly, I don't remember who's in charge here, but wouldn't this be a nice opportunity for them to increase traffic hugely on this site?

TL is to starcraft what age of empires is to this site after all ;)

I tried it out. Lag and oos are pretty big issues atm. Almost every time someone resigns, the game freezes, at least for me. But in 1v1 its alright most of the time.

The whole region thing is fruited up imo.

It does have ranking, but no public leaderboard. Here is one that some player made though, does the job just fine: http://aoe2stats.com/

I was like #2 or 3 iirc, but then i lost a bunch of points to OoS error because noobs alt-f4 ragequit instead of hitting resign11. So after not playing for a few days i'm down to rank 100 or something. I'll maybe pick it back up once lag and other issues are solved tho.

This is so dumb. Voobly already offers everything that AoE2:HD gives except that it works. =\

It's just like creating a 3rd server except with less support than both GR and Voobly.

Ah so that's why I couldn't find the thread about it. :/

But I don't go to the AoM section of this site, that's why. :P do you play?

Well imo AOE2 HD didnt bring much new things in the game. Like high resolution and some graphics bugs, also other bugs are already fixed, and updated on Voobly.

So yes it seemed to be nice that Microsoft remade it and released again but I think its not so great. I dont even liked that new stlye of graphics but this is only my personal opinion, However the facts are that they will leave aoc alone again and willnot maintain .

So if you want to play AoC i really recommend to do it on Voobly than buy it on Stream. Voobly offers many other advantages too but its your choice guys.

Cheers.

balance is unchanged so hf vs aztec on good GA or playing vs. the rich amount of viable civilizations such as huns/huns/mayans/huns/huns/huns/mongols/huns/huns/huns/franks/huns/vikings/huns/huns/mayans/huns
