Crack open an ice cold Old English and pour it directly onto the street. The MMORTS Battleforge is going offline permanently October 31st of this year. It's always a bummer every time an MMO closes its doors for good. No matter how many people still play in the end, there is an excellent chance that folks made allies and built friendships in game. Not to mention spending countless hours grinding for greater rewards that they will never see again.
BattleForge, EA Phenomic's card-trading-meets-RTS game, has received another expansion entitled the Lost Souls Edition. As you might recall, BattleForge is a free-to-play game where you can purchase BattleForge points for real money which you can then use to buy booster packs in-game or use to trade with other players for specific cards via an auction system. The Lost Souls Edition introduces 120 new cards, 28 of which are from the Twilight and Lost Souls factions (14 of each), previously only seen as enemies in the game.
The above screen is the first shot from EA's Battleforge that shows off the game's DirectX 11 support. The game's developer and EA have announced that Battleforge is the first game to feature DX11 support, though you'll still need a DX11 card to take advantage of that. Currently only Radeon 5870 and 5850 cards support it.
Battleforge is getting its first official expansion pack called the Renegade Expansion. The new expansion adds two new races, the Bandits and Stonekin - as well as a new dual orb feature.
Battleforge has had quite the wild ride in it's two months of existence. The game launched back in April to great reviews, but users and reviewers complained about the initial costs combined with the costs of booster packs. EA responded shortly after dropping the price, and then more recently cutting the price all together.
A few weeks ago the co-op RTS from EA, BattleForge, dropped in price. For $30 you got the full game, 3000 in game points and 64 cards to start with. The price and content of this hasn't changed, but there's a new option now.
Electronic Arts has announced that their co-op RTS, Battleforge, has dropped in price from $49.99 to $29.99. This isn't a temporary sale, nope, this my friends is a permanent price drop.
