Extremely simple (i.e. crude) models for all characters and ship top-of-the-line graphics cards to all the players, more like it. I haven't seen LOTR, but is the battle of Helm's Deep the one in Two Towers where thousands of folks are killing each other?
If so, to get something like that you'd need the characters to have less polys than anything on N64, maybe even stick figures, and even then everyone would need a GeForce FX and it isn't even out until next month.
