Set in the same expansive universe of their classic Battlecruiser 3000AD, Universal Combat and All Aspect series , Line of Defense gives players a vast array of gameplay possibilities, as they craft character classes that suit their play styles and battle across land, water, air and space.

Players will engage in combat as one of two opposing sides fighting for control of military bases across various continents on contested planets and space regions. As an infantry marine with access to various weapons of mass destruction, engage in frontlines combat using land and naval vehicles, as well as various aircrafts and gunships. Take the fight from planet to the regions of space above the contested planets as you fight for supremacy and for all that is good – or evil – in a massive game world.

Featuring twitched based pure PvP mayhem with various character progressions, classes, abilities and attributes, all set in a massive open persistent game world, experience the future of sci-fi warfare as you've never seen it before. Especially not of this scale and scope.

Through careful iteration and testing, the 3000AD team has been rolling out big hunks of the map and, most importantly, infantry combat is upon us. 

Starting at 2PM EST on the 13th and running until Midnight EST on the 15th, the LOD Free to Play weekend will feature the aforementioned infantry combat, the huge maps, and  the Starter Kit, which will allow people to get in for free. 

All the Early Access tiers  (Commander, Ambassador, Emissary) will also be 50% off for the duration of the weekend. 

After the free to play period, the Starter Kits will be locked and the EA tier prices will return to normal.
