In his latest Fighting Talk column, MMORPG.com's Adam Tingle pits Dark Age of Camelot against Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. As Adam says, this week's column is new versus old, elderly versus snot-nosed. Which one of Bioware-Mythic's games will come out on top? Read on to find out! Let's get ready to RUUUUUUUUMBLE!

Since the creation of this series of versus articles, my life has changed. Just last week I made an almighty mess in the Kitchen when Tomato Ketchup faced down Barbeque Sauce; a few days previously I offended my girlfriend by forcing her breasts Into a Thunder Dome “two boobs enter, one boob leaves” type of affair. So to keep within my current mental state, here is another article offering my meager, inflammatory, and often mistaken opinions. Enjoy it you delicious bastards.

Read more Fighting Words: DAOC vs WAR.

not gonna read the article, i will clearly say war is not even or never will be on daoc's level of gameplay, war was a huge step down from daoc , that is all

nice try but every1 that played daoc hated war because of the failsauce it was

DAoC is dated visually, but still stands as one of the greatest MMO's I've ever played.

Seems ironic that WAR came AFTER DAOC - if DAOC had been the successor with War's advanced graphic capabilities, we'd have a true winner on our hands today.

So gameplay has equal weighting/importance to newbie experience mkay.

Doesn't even remotely resemble a competition. I'm afraid the WAR camp is going to be non existant. DAOC 2 please.

Broken link. Love the commentary on a non-existent article :)

This is THE Internet - since when does NOT reading anything NOT give us the right to rip it to shreds?!

Not even a contest, DAoC wins hands down.  Better graphics do not a good game make.

You don't have to even read the article because it is so blatantly obvious.

I still play Daoc after all these years, tried War and didn't like it.

haha beat me to it^^

You know what they say about opinions.....

I wont slam you for yours but 52-51? Sorry but War isnt even in Daoc league. IP issues aside mythic learned nothing about what made daoc great and avoiding none of what made it suck when they made War.

There are more problems with this than can be quickly listed.

Just to start, comparing an ancient relic of a game with a relatively new release is just one of the bigger ones. Then talk about which DAoC you mean; pre-ToA, post, non-ToA, frontiers etc.

Pretty silly comparison all around.

Normally I would side with you  and agree with your ratings. However DAoC vs WAR is like putting  a hogtied poodle covered in A1 in a cage with a hungry lion. DAoC aside from graphics is a far superior product. Score should have been closer to 70-30.

I agree with this, I like Warhammer but it realy should have come out more like 60-40 or a bit more.  Personally for PvP I'd give War a 7/10, but for endgame I would give it a 1/10, it is quite simply put the worst endgame I've ever seen.

i dont even doubt it: Daoc

WAR end game 10/10?? LOL!

It was the main reason most people left the game, the end-game is terrible!

SIlly karat!

You can't hogtie poodles!

hahahahahahahahahahahah 10/10 Endgame? hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Sometimes a fight is just a waste of time and money because its too lopsided. Nice attempt at another fight, but its just too lopsided. Sad sad sad. Wish it was a close fight.
