Battlefield Heroes

Genre: First-person Shooter · Platforms: Windows · License: Freeware

Battlefield Heroes is a cartoon-style action game. It's a fun first person shooter which caters to players of all skill levels – easy to pick up and play, but with deep character development.

Like previous Battlefield games Battlefield Heroes also has a class system, but has been reduced to three basic classes: the Soldier, Gunner, and Commando.

Vehicles:
The game is set to start with three types of vehicle per side: Jeeps, tanks and planes. The current vehicles are based loosely on real-life ones, and include the classic American WWII styled tank (M4 Sherman), an American Jeep, a German Panzer division styled tank (Panzer IV), a German Kübelwagen, a British WWII styled aeroplane (Supermarine Spitfire), and a German WWII styled aeroplane (Messerschmitt) for dogfighting. It appears that players can also climb onto the wings of planes and fire their weapons from there.

"The game features context-specific third- and first-person shooter perspectives. Heroes will be the first Battlefield game to be released under Electronic Arts' new "Play 4 Free" model, which will see the game released for free with revenue generated from advertising and micropayments. Advertisements will appear on the website and the 'front-end' of the game although none will appear in-game, while micropayments may be made for additional items to customize the appearance of players' avatars without any gaming advantage. The game is said to be placing less emphasis on skill and strategy, and will be less demanding on computer specifications than the previous games of the series to increase the audience base. In addition, a system will be in place to match players of similar skill levels together for fair play."
