Fans Bring Classic Lord Of The Rings Game Into The HD Era. Once upon a time, EA had the rights to the Lord of the Rings film series, and they made a bunch of games. Many of them were surprisingly good, like Return of the King, but two in particular stood out the Battle for Middle Earth RTS games. They were very good, combining powerful hero units with elements of siege warfare to craft games that didnt just make good use of the license, but were fantastic strategy games in their own right. They are alsothanks to the handover of the Lot. R license from EA to Warner Brossadly all but forgotten, since you cant buy the games anymore. That hasnt stopped a pair of fans from bringing the first Battle for Middle Earth, released back in 2. Theyve released a visual overhaul for the game that transforms the units and heroes from blocky little lumps into HD characters that more closely resemble their on screen counterparts. Designed for use on T3. A Online, a server that lets BFME live on after EAs official servers closed down in 2.
