Battlefield Heroes : new, fun and... free

If you have liked Battlefield (1942, Vietnam, Battlefield 2...) and spent hours playing one of this FPS (First Personal Shooter), you will definitely look forward this summer 2008 to download for your PC this new game proudly developed by DICE and brought by Electronic Arts (EA) : Battlefield Heroes!

New graphics, obviously as you can see it on the picture ("fun cartoon-style shooter", like Team Fortress by Valve), but a new business model as well. Indeed, EA will release it as a free game (download only) and earn money on advertising and micro-transactions.

There's not many details yet, but you can read the Press Release here, or simply visit the official website : www.battlefield-heroes.com.


PS : Meanwhile, you still can (re) discover Company of Heroes (and its stand-alone extension : CoH Opposing Fronts), a spectacular and clever RTS game (Real Time Strategy) taking place in Europe during WWII.

Work hard, play harder!
