Attention Heroes!

“There’s something here for all types of players -- be it our core Battlefield fans or casual gamers. 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.

A Q&A about the game has been released to community sites. For the latest news always check out www.battlefield.com.
1. What’s Battlefield Heroes?
Battlefield Heroes is a new cartoon-style Battlefield game that’s completely free to play. This ‘Play 4 Free’ type of game is new to EA so we’re excited to be leading the charge! It’s going to be available this summer and we’ve worked hard to make the game appeal to both our core fans as well as people new to Battlefield. It’s easy for anyone to pick up and play because of the intuitive controls, fun cartoon art style, and community features, but at the same time there’s real depth and strategy for people like us who are passionate about gaming.
2. Is this BF3?
No, Battlefield Heroes is not Battlefield 3. Battlefield Heroes is one of many Battlefield games in development by DICE, including Battlefield Bad Company for PS3 and Xbox 360. We have not made any announcements regarding Battlefield 3.
3. How’s this different than any other game out there?
It’s mainly different because it’s FREE! But this is also a new take on Battlefield games. Battlefield Heroes combines the classic sandbox gameplay of the Battlefield series, but we are also adding loads of new stuff - a fun, over-the-top setting and art style, simpler controls and interface, and a deep character development and customization system. Because it is download for free and ‘Play 4 Free’, it really changes how we approach game development – we can add new content to the game at any time, we can respond to the community’s feedback with tweaks and changes and we can make the game YOU want to play.
