m1k3y Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Play BattleForge For Free Right Now http://www.gameinformer.com/NR/exeres/5487...120CB4199FF.htm "Phenomic’s online RTS for free – for a price. And that price is free. Just what the heck is going on here?! It works like this: BattleForge is an RTS game in which you buy trading cards that act as your in-game units. The original strategy was to get people to buy the game, and then purchase more trading cards online to flesh out their arsenal. But just two months after the game was released Electronic Arts are trying a different strategy, allowing gamers to download a free-to-play version of the game featuring 32 of the 200 cards available. Pretty smart, huh? The “Play 4 Free” version of the game also includes all of the community features and scenarios of the retail game, as well as the recently launched Renegade campaign in its entirety. While this might irk some gamers who already paid for the game, the influx of new gamers to play against is certainly a good thing, making this a win-win situation for RTS fans. In today’s announcement Electronic Arts were also quick to mention its “Play 4 Free” version Battlefield Heroes, which is currently in closed beta. Is this a new trend for Electronic Arts? Will “Play 4 Free” games replace traditional demos? Will Electronic Arts ever try a free console version of one of its games? Only time will tell – until then, try out BattleForge, or you’ll really hurt EA’s feelings…" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
