Battlefield Heroes Review: The Great (Cartoon) War
EA have really got behind the whole "free to play" thing of late, announcing it'll form the basis of future Tiger Woods and Need for Speed titles. The first such game to test those waters, however, is Battlefield Heroes. More »

Battlefield Heroes Beta Is Back On The Menu, Boys
Late last year, EA shut down the Battlefield Heroes beta, claiming they had a little house-cleaning to do before it could be re-opened. Well, cleaning's done, because the beta is about to come back. More »

Slightly Strange, Awesome New Battlefield Heroes Trailer
Don't get me wrong, I am really looking forward to this game, but machine-gun-equipped, war-crying, kilt-wearing cartoon characters is a bit over the top. In this new video we get a look at all of the chaotic hilarity that will ensue in Victory Village. You can download and play the game free of charge later this year on PC. -

Battlefield Heroes – Battling The Stigma Of Battlefield
Accessibility is the keyword for the Battlefield Heroes dev team and I’ve never been happier to hear it. I like my WWII shooters just fine, but they do start to feel a little stale after the fourth or fifth version; and it gets really hard to get into a series once the established fan base is dead-set on going after the blood of noobs in multiplayer. And now that Battlefield has gone back in time and to the future, where else can the series really go?

Battlefield Heroes Not Coming This Summer
EA's gritty, nay, visceral take on free-to-play modern combat - Battlefield Heroes - was originally slated to appear over the Summer. Thing is, Summer's already here, so what gives EA, you holding out on us? Oh, it's been delayed? Right. Noted. The announcement came during EA's conference call yesterday, with the promised addition of new "social networking features" meaning it's being held back until the end of the year. In the mean time, we've never seen this screen before, showing the game's "bad guys". Cartoon Nazis or the Max Headroom Army? You be the judge.

Sign Up For The Battlefield Heroes Beta
Is the gritty realism of Battlefield: Bad Company not your particular cup of tea? Chris over at EvoGamer shares with us the website where you can sign up for the beta test of EA's cartoony alternative, Battlefield Heroes. Of course the main game will be free when it comes out, but it always helps to get a leg up on the competition while keeping an eye out for bugs you can keep to yourself and exploit at a later date.

Battlefield Heroes: Enjoy Your Two Maps!
DICE's casual stab at Battlefield may be free, but that doesn't take away our right to complain, outlined in the gamer Constitution. Sure, Battlefield Heroes looks cute and looks to feature the same well known gameplay at zero cost, but two maps? Surely, you can't be serious. They are, as producer Ben Cousins explains to Gamasutra that in typical Battlefield development cycle "we bust our asses making 50 maps, and then within six months of the game being released, everyone's playing two maps. The two best maps. So, we just decided to make just the two best maps, and not the other kind of maps." More »

Battlefield Heroes Screens, Pretty And Such
Here are a slew of screens from EA's upcoming free web game Battlefield Heroes. To catch the promo video if you missed it, be sure to hit up our impressions of the game. Oh, and while you're at it, don't miss our eyes-on of Mirror's Edge, either. Seriously, that's a game you need to mentally bookmark. Yes, we just said "mentally bookmark." And if you have a problem with that, you can take it up with LeVar Burton. More »

Battlefield Heroes Impressions
You may think of EA's cartoon-influenced Battlefield Heroes as a poor man's Team Fortress 2. The thing is, you'd be fairly right to do so. The game will actually be free to play for anyone with a web browser and, yes, in person it looks just as much like TF2 as you'd think—but that's not a bad thing, necessarily. More »

EA Reveals Cartoony, Free To Play Battlefield Heroes
Big news from the Digital Life, Digital Design Conference in Munich today, as EA reveals the latest game in their online warfare series - Battlefield Heroes.

On top of the change in graphical direction, the game also features an all-new price point for an EA PC title: free. More »
