No it's not and it will be some time before it gets under the free download category.

While AoE isnt free, and I dont think it will ever be, I know one RTS game that's free for download and its extremely good. In fact, its one of my all time favorites - Ground Control. Get it from FilePlanet here:

or get it from the September 2004 Digit DVD.

What a coincidence! I recently read a magazine that carried an interview with Bruce Shelley, the head at Ensemble Studios (makers of AOE), and he made a statement that Microsoft had considered giving AOE free with Windows!
How cool would it be if that had happened.
It would be even better if they bundled AOE 3 with Longhorn :wink:

@rajkumar_personal: There is absolutely no indication that Microsoft will bundle an MGS game along with Windows anywhere in the foeseeable future. Pointless even thinking about it.

@drvarunmehta: Man, thats some news. :D I wonder which OS they were planning to ship it with. Has to be Windows ME or Windows XP, one of these two. :lol: Anyway, that just shows how much money they wanna milk out of their franchises. Heck, the AoE2 gold edition didnt drop its price from 2500 to 700 bucks until a couple of months ago here. And considering how ridiculously priced all their games and their expansions are, I seriously doubt how they even give Pinball along with Windows. Heck, it was so irritating when people purchased Microsoft Plus! and found that the Hyperbowl and other games were just extremely limited trials again and if they want them, they had to fork out more and more money. Heck, the Plus! game packs cost more than Doom 3 and Half-Life 2. :D
