Most of the "non canon" things in the game are things that Tolkien never really went into detail or talked about, so I don't really see much of a problem with them. It is based on the movies of course, but except for this mod, there isn't a single LOTR game that isn't. To be fair, even the mod takes great inspiration from the movies. A lot of designs are obviously at least inspired by the movies, and the Rhudel faction, Uruk crossbows, and Uruk berserkers are as well. However, if you're looking for a game that wasn't inspired by the movies, there were 9 games published before The Fellowship of the Ring movie, though most of them are probably pretty hard to find at this point. Your best bet is probably Lord of the Rings online, which as far as I can tell, is based on the books.
