Lord of the Rings : Battle for Middle Earth 2 backwards compatible.

So as you may know LOTR BFME 2 is not for sale anywhere. steam GGO. EA. etc is not for sale. and EA has been pretty dumb about their games. So I doubt they would do something smart like bringing back BFME 2.

So I thought "I used to play it on xbox 360" So hopefully if I vote for it. it can get noticed and reinstated... Well "Thank YOU" microsoft for taking the voting out of your feedback. actually scratch that. for reworking your feedback system. (they only
want to hear feedback for stuff they want to hear.)

But anyways. so I thought the next best thing is to get it on a discussion page.

It's funny cause even though EA doesn't sell BFME 2 I saw a guy who had an old activation code. he sent it in to their support. and they sent him a digital code for the DIGITAL version of BFME 2. (unfortunately they gave him "Rise of the Witch-KIng" expansion.
so is kinda worthless without the base-game.

Now I love this game. I remember building fortresses all through the map. trying to crush my enemies with just buildings. (and occasionally sending in fellbeasts to destroy artillery. )

But I really hope that Lord of the Rings : Battle for Middle Earth 2 comes to xbox one as a backwards compatible game. ^_^

P.S. (I have found big communities on steam and GGO that wanted a revival of it. But they have yet to be heard from.)

I haven't gone to WB (Warner Bros) yet cause I think EA still holds the rights to the game.

Battle for Middle Earth 2 on Xbox One

When will LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth 2 be backwards compatible for Xbox One?

 

Maybe in the future it will become backward compatible.

To think about it, 90% of the Xbox 360 library should be backward compatible.

 

'So as you may know LOTR BFME 2 is not for sale anywhere. steam GGO. EA. etc is not for sale. and EA has been pretty dumb about their games.'

I would have thought that because the digital game was not available to buy anywhere would have given you the obvious answer that EA no longer hold the rights to the Lord of the Rings??

The Xbox voting system had run its course and has been discontinued. I'm pretty sure MS still has access to the information gained from this. Just because we can't see it, doesn't mean they can't. It was going for a number of years, adding a few more
votes to a game won't make it so. In regards to games where the publisher no longer holds the rights, it wouldn't matter how many votes were cast, it won't make it a candidate for BC.

But I really hope that Lord of the Rings : Battle for Middle Earth 2 comes to xbox one as a backwards compatible game.

Another EA published game. This has also been de-listed, won't be made BC.

'I haven't gone to WB (Warner Bros) yet cause I think EA still holds the rights to the game.'

If that were so, all of the EA published Xbox LOTR games would be available to buy digitally on the Xbox 360, they aren't. Which tells me one thing, the rights to the LOTR are now solely owned by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

Sorry, but that's just the way it is with games based from a movie license.

 

Xbox Ideas is not be used to post votes for BC games. The form of voting has ended, please do not direct users to this page for this purpose.

 

I'd up that to about 95% personally, I think the 360 will go down as having one of the strongest game libraries ever

 

Great suggestion for a great game, the list of backwards compatible games is always expand based on customer feedback, so I would definitely recommend reaching out to let MS know directly!
