Custom Games Arrive in BFME Arena

A new section has been added under Play: Custom Games.

This is for everyone who enjoys the PvE and custom-map side of Battle for Middle-earth. Custom Games will let players queue up with others for custom maps such as Tower Wars, We Die as Gladiators, and other community-made scenarios.

To start things off, we have added the BFME 1 2.22 Co-op Campaign.

BFME 1 2.22 Co-op Campaign

Players can now queue up to find a partner, or party up with friends, and try to complete the campaign as fast as possible.

Leaderboards are kept for:

Fastest time per map

Fastest full campaign completion

The campaign unlocks step by step. Completing Level 1 unlocks Level 2, and so on until the full campaign is finished.

This gives PvE players a new way to compete, improve runs, and climb the leaderboards without playing standard PvP ladder games.

Custom Maps Coming Next

The Custom Games section will also be expanded with more custom maps later.

If you know a good custom map for BFME 1, BFME 2, or ROTWK, please send us the details so we can look into adding it.

Please include:

Map name

Where we can find or download it

Which game it is for

Required patch

Required map version

Any recommendation is welcome. The more good maps we receive from the community, the better the Custom Games section will become.

Enjoy this new feature!
