Anyone else think this is awesome? More game devs should update the classics to run on newer PCs at any resolution.
I love AoE II. I passed it on to my yonger brothers and they love it even more. But there are problems with the old online service so we can't play multiplayer all together. I trust Steam enough to know that it is finally possible.

Anyone else excited?
ya i used to love the conquerors
back when microsoft could actually make a decent game
hun rush ftw
i still havent had as much fun on any game as i did on aoe 2
sadly it was ruined by cheaters
tfw i even managed to beat cheaters legitly who let the game run on too long as i was a epic boomer and well most cheaters were just noobs anyway and couldn't into hotkeys or micro.
but yeah that ruined the game for me when people have to pull out cheats to beat you. & the worst thing its usually some 12 year old with a trainer who couldn't even into cheat engine
& i was like top two-three in my country, there was only 1 other dude from nz who could beat me in a 1v1 but i beat him half the time too.
probably wouldn't take me long to regain my skills but yeah i havent played in years now and rusty as hell
man those graphics look so freakin epic compared to what it was too
multi monitor support!
make the interface changable so i could have say my map and chat windows on one screen and just play the game on the other without having to use eyefinity
i used to love zone and how it worked WHY did microsoft get rid of it for that monsrosity that is windows live games
or that other piece of garbage site they put up that i now forget the name of.
thats when i started losing all my respect for microsoft, they stopped patching aoc which led to the rise of cheaters, then they got rid of zone and before you know it everything sucked. lol.
i miss my 5+ hour epic battles, 3v1's that my allies had quit after i told them not to and i still won
i miss the game changers like sending in 100 suicide paladins to desecrate the other players economy while they fought elsewhere and the sound of multiple resigns at the same time and all the old taunts
i miss just playing this with my dad and totally saving his ass every game, it was the only game we both liked and that he really played.
AoE II was my child hood.
Can't wait for the new steam version to come out so I can play against/with my friends and new and old players (with better graphics) and won't have to use GameRanger.
