According to the official website, Line of Defense is a free-to-play (some paid content will be available) sci fi MMORPG to be released by 3000AD, Inc. Players take the role of a Galactic Command (GALCOM) military marine or a Terran insurgent soldier, and battle for control of various military bases spread across four continents on the planet Lyrius. First and third-person combat views are available, along with land, sea, and air vehicles.

Despite the flurry of MMO first-person shooters heading to our rigs over the next year, there’s never been a game which has successfully delivered on the premise of hundreds of soldiers and vehicles all facing off against each other on 100-kilometre wide battlefields in order to determine a common victor. The promise of uninstanced PvP on a grand scale is something few developers have ever tried to tackle, yet 3000AD are looking to do exactly that with the free-to-play sci-fi MMO, Line of Defense.

A special limited-edition,“First Issue” comic based on this upcoming videogame will be featured at the DC Entertainment booth at San Diego Comic-Con this year, as well as E3 and several other trade shows during the year. It will also be made available through various online outlets.

For many years the Terran military forces of GALCOM have been engaged in various conflicts with the Insurgents– a splinter group of military personnel opposed to the Terran governing body. In a surprise move, the Insurgents setup shop on the long abandoned planet of Lyrius, previously used by GALCOM for weapons testing, R&D and other forms of military operations. This move wouldn’t normally warrant a deep space troop deployment, except for the fact that the Insurgents were rumored to be developing a super weapon on the planet. The“Firefight” comic tells the story of the brave direct action team sent by GALCOM to neutralize the threat and destroy the weapon.

Written by Ricardo Sanchez (Resident Evil, Telara Chronicles, Alganon), Firefight features interior art by Brian Ching (Gears of War, Batman: Arkham Unhinged, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic) and Cover art by Puppeteer Lee (Blacklight Tango Down, Storm Lion).

“Right now, in all of my 14 games I’m nowhere near 10,” Smart tells me, referring to the videogame review scale, in which a “perfect” game is considered a 10. “I’m somewhere near a 6 … but I’m not going to keep trying and keep doing this when I’m 90.

“It just doesn’t work that way.”

I’m sitting in a hotel room in San Francisco with Smart and his PR handler, just a quarter mile from where the most famous game developers in the world have gathered for the 2012 Game Developers Conference.

Smart is dressed, well, smartly. Nice shoes. Casual, but expensive-looking shirt. Gold jewelry. A self-confessed millionaire, he carries himself with the air of a man who has come into money, but still understands the value of hard work.

On the desk in front of him is a laptop computer running the product of that work: Line of Defense, his latest game.
