EA's new BATTLEFIELD HEROES - Free Game

[Instigator AG]

Thats right EA and free are in the same sentence. It appears EA will put out Battlefield Heroes this summer. This will be a cartoon style, a nice spin on the current Battlefield series.

"Battlefield Heroes is a brand new game from the team behind Battlefield 1942™ and Battlefield 2™. 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."

I wonder how many adds will this game have and how annoying they will be?. I really can't imagine EA and free being used in the same sentence so i'm quite skeptical about this. Maybe there is still some hope for EA but i doubt it. I hope it turns out to be as good as it sounds (if it weren't from EA).

edit: i just viewed the trailer and it looks even more promising

Looks pretty sweet especaly for being free. Hope EA goes through with this game.

Looks good, but you know how EA likes ads...

Knowing EA...heaps...as the whole game has been developed specifically to be ad driven.

Looks pretty sweet especaly for being free. Hope EA goes through with this game.

I don't know if I'd rather pay for a game without ads or get the game for free but be bugged by ads all the time...

Looks good, but you know how EA likes ads...
Yes, they love their ads and I think it'll show in this game :lol:

[alfhenrik]

Well slap me silly and call me Bob...:ahhhhh:

According to this LINK (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/51557), Battlefield Heroes will not contain ANY in-game ads...

Rather, the advertising revenue will come from the title's official web site, which players must visit to launch the game. A bright yellow "Play Now!" button will be prominently featured on the page, along with news posts, details on purchasable items, and, of course, banner ads.

The animation style reminds me of TF2.

I wouldn't mind banner ads on server selection screens and product placements ingame such as billboard ads though. Acutally, I prefer that to annoying website ads.

The animation style reminds me of TF2.

I would say it was heavily inspired by TF2 :smile:

Haha, I've been looking at this just right now, and wanted to post about it here. It looks like a sweet and funny game. This should be fun to play with a friend and online. :) I'll play with you guys if you decide to download it and play it! :)

I would say it was heavily inspired by TF2I would say its a direct ripoff.

[Methious]

Direct ripoff?

When was the last time you actually saw a new game idea? It's kinda like Hollywood there are no new ideas in Hollywood they just recombine old ones.

Games are the same. Is Company of Heros a ripoff of CnC probably, I have both anyway. Long as it plays well, I don't care if they pulled it out of their butt.

Hmm that's a surprise, it might turn out to be an enjoyable game after all.
I would not mind a few ingame adds cause the game is not meant to be realistic in the first place, but this way is even better.

[PP Mguire]

Direct ripoff?Id say TF2 was pretty original for it to be rip'd off by EA so quickly. Id say thats probably why its free.

Euphemisms my friend, euphemisms.

[RhinoMaster]

I heard a rumor that you had to PAY in order to get upgrades and stuff to your weapon kits.


At least that's what My Clan Buddies are saying

[MrX]

I heard about this yesterday. Free is good. :)

[Walmartshopper420]

free??

[Walmartshopper420]

yeah no doubt

That would not be surprising at all, let's hope it's just a nasty rumor.

[PP Mguire]

Euphemisms my friend, euphemisms.Nah, Valve had a hit on their hands so EA decided they would make their version of the game. Thats the only explination EA isnt trying to make money off this.

[tomato]

EA needs their piece of the pie :P

Can't be sued for profit sharing if there are no profits to be shared. ;-)
