“One could say, we’re crazy for mixing Xbox community leaders with PC community leaders, but that was the beauty of this community summit. The goal was simple—invite a well-rounded collection of hardcore Xbox 360 community leaders and The Battle for Middle-earth II PC RTS community leaders, listen to the devoted fans, and provide an open forum to collect feedback on the first RTS to hit the 360, The Battle for Middle-earth II. The community members truly opened their minds and gave some honest opinions throughout the event. I believe they came away with a true understanding of the passion and devotion EA Los Angeles and Microsoft have for their communities—and they had a good time playing the game!” | Newsflash:Community Leaders Preview BFME2
Eight of the most loyal and passionate leaders from within the Xbox® community and Battle for Middle-earth PC community recently spent the day at Xbox Headquarters in Redmond, Washington at the invitation of Electronic Arts. These lucky gamers were the first people in the world outside the development studio to play the final build of The Lord of the Rings™, The Battle for Middle-earth™ II for Xbox 360™. Attendees included Nate Kramer from gamereplays.org/bfme; Karen Straube from www.bfme2heavengamers.com; Danny Pena (Godfree), co-founder and host of www.gamertagradio.com; Michael Halford, Editor in Chief of www.xbox365.com; Matt Gerlach, Xbox MVP; Stephen Glickr from www.gamingsteve.com; Chris Paladino from www.dreamstation.cc; and Jason Ferguson of www.strategyinformer.com. The gamers were able to chat with Xbox VP Peter Moore, tour the Xbox Operations Center, and of course play BFME2! Our own Major Nelson and VideoMonkey were there to get a taste of the action.
