What is BattleForge Play4Free?

• The BattleForge Play4Free Client, which you can download here, offers you complete access to all areas and functionality of the game, including all content updates (new PvP maps, Renegade Campaign) made available since release.

How do I install BattleForge Play4Free?

• First you must download the client. Double click on the BattleForgeInstal.exe file and follow the instructions on the screen. You start the game by running the Bootstrapper.exe file. You need to have an EA Account to start BattleForge. If you already have an account, you just need to give the account details in the corresponding field in the Bootstrapper. If you do not have an EA Account, you can select “Create Account” to open an EA Account.

What exactly does BattleForge Play4Free include?

• Along with all functionality of the game, BattleForge Play4Free includes two decks consisting of 32 cards. You can play any scenario in the game, including the Renegade Campaign. With BattleForge Play4Free, you are also able to purchase Booster Pack and bid on cards in the Auction House. However, you can only offer a card in the Auction House once you have reached level 4 in PvE and level 10 in PvP. Direct trades and sending in-game mail with attachments are also blocked until you reach this experience level.
