Loved the second and third game, I played the third one so much, like each level 5-10 times, hopefully this game is as good.

That doesn't make sense. How can we visit places we know and see characters we know when the game is called the War in the North. The majority of Lord of the Rings is set in the South. Unless its about the Dunedain or the wood elves in the Mirkwood but those aren't recognizable characters and places.

The Battle For Middle earth II took place in the Northern theatre of the War. It also included characters from the Lord of the Rings. I suppose they are being a bit unspecific with this statement.

Basically it's because developers are being far too liberal these days with the source material.
