This is an awesome 3rd person shooter that, while styled similarly to TF2, has a completely different gameplay style. Battlefield Heroes is a cartoon-style action game currently under development by EA Digital Illusions CE. The game features context-specific third- and first-person shooter perspectives.[4] 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.[5] 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.[6] 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.[6] In addition, a system will be in place to match players of similar skill levels together for fair play.[7] Battlefield Heroes features a modified conquest mode providing each team 50 tickets and eventually one flag at the start of the round. Killing enemies will reduce tickets and holding more flags than the opposing army will also grant a multiplier to the team. It is possible to win by owning more flags than the enemy and by killing fewer of them. Matchmaking will also be a feature to keep players of the same level together. Players will be matched against other players of a similar experience level. Developers of the game have talked about levels going as high as 40 or 50. The two armies are called the National Army (possessing a red base color flag) and the Royal Army (possessing a blue base color flag). The game is third-person only at this point, but senior producer Ben Cousins has stated if first-person is really wanted, it may be added in at a later date. Spawn times are five seconds (compared to previous Battlefield games' 15), allowing for less waiting and more action. Players do not pick spawn points since the game has an "Intelligent Spawn System" putting players closest to the nearest battle. Three maps will be available on release. [3][8] The point system in Battlefield Heroes is being called the Metagame (non official name), which allows characters to fight for a territorial position during each match. The land gained is then recorded as a win for each army, and at the end of the week everything is added up and both armies are given money based on percentage and land conquered. Players can choose whether or not to participate in the Metagame.[3] Like previous Battlefield games Battlefield Heroes also has a class system, but has been reduced to three basic classes: the Soldier, Gunner, and Commando.[3] I'm in the close beta, but due to a Non Disclosure Agreement, I can't tell you much. I will say however this game is of excellent quality and for those of you with nothing else to do, downloading this game and playing it in your free time will be worthwhile. Anyone else looking forward to it?

Did I spy a first person view on the plane Not too sure about the game, but it's free I suppose. Then again I could just play a game I already own... Doesn't seem to have any long term appeal.
