Battlefield Heroes announced!


Attention Heroes!



Today we announce Battlefield Heroes™, an all-new Play 4 Free cartoon-style shooter that will bring classic Battlefield gameplay to an all new audience and setting. It’s fun cartoon-style graphics and gameplay caters to players of all skill levels. It is easy to pick up and play but with robust character customization and a deep online meta-game, gamers can spend hours building up their characters and conquering the world.



“There’s something here for all types of players -- be it our core Battlefield fans or casual gamers. With the new online model, we will continually add new content to keep the game fresh and keep players engaged, while integrating player feedback in real time. As a game developer, it is such a cool new way to make games.” says Ben Cousins, Senior Producer for Battlefield Heroes.



Battlefield Heroes is being developed by DICE in Stockholm and will be EA’s first title that is offered completely for free. It will be released for the PC as a free download at www.battlefield-heroes.com in summer 2008.

I'm with you on that.

This game seems like filler. Yes it's free and looks fun, but I would of rather had more content for the core game. Give us some more maps, maybe in a booster but instead of creating something to distribute freely they should have kept their players happy. Rant over.
