Battlefield + TF2 = Battlefield Heroes

Garav · 22-01-08

The devs at EA seem to be inspired by TF2 and are planning a cartoonish looking version of Battlefield which will be free!!!

Battlefield Heroes

I'm guessing the catch for the free part is gonna be ingame adverts.

Looks interesting.

Will check it out!

Edit :

EA has announced it will be releasing a free Battlefield Heroes game in the summer.

Developed by series veteran DICE, it will be a cartoon-inspired war game powered by advertising and micro transactions. This is known as "Play 4 Free".

Aimed at the mass market, the game will offer a downloadable client, lots of character customisation and hours of shooting madness.

Its fresh art direction will help it stand out, too, just like Team Fortress 2 did last year. Oh, it looks quite similar. Perhaps it's just a coincidence like the Burnout Paradise cover image.

"There's something here for all types of players - be it our core Battlefield fans or casual gamers," said Ben Cousins, big cheese at DICE.

"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."

Head over to the Battlefield Heroes site to keep up to date with its progress.

Micro Transactions?... Screw it. Cheap TF2 Knock-off anyways.

This is a great venture from EA IMHO.....shud kick some real balls.

^^ Ad's + Pay as you play?.. No ways..

Its a TF2 + MMORPG Rip-Off.

EA....and that too FREE...wao , I am not dreaming for sure !

halluc1nati0n · 23-01-08

It's a good move though ....

UnR3aL · 27-01-08

EA have announced that despite being a free download, the game won't be available to players in places like Australia, New Zealand, Japan...South Africa, and...oh, Mexico. Anywhere outside the US and Europe, actually. No reason was given for the snub, so we're tossing up whether it's something to do with the title's in-game advertising or simply EA waking up on the wrong side of their big, cushy corporate bed all week.

EA + free stuff + no bad news = hard to digest

A trailer was released. The game reminds me of Freedom Force.

Ad1tya · 29-02-08

LOL... It looks like fun actually.....

Scorpion · 29-02-08

Yup I am gonna play that more than tf2 I am saying it from now only

MaxAxe · 29-02-08

simply put ... its cell shaded ... the initial concept was used in No One Lives Forever and Grim Fandango .... at that time cell shading was not available. ... on regular 3D animation cell shading has been used .... ITS NOT A TF2 ripoff (inspired maybe ....

)

NOLF and Grim Fandango weren't cel-shaded, and neither is this.
XIII is the only cel-shaded game I know of.
