With in-game ad billboards appearing in recent retail copies of Battlefield games, some players were wondering if Battlefield Heroes would take the same route. GameDaily BIZ was assured, however, that this would not be the case, with ads only appearing on battlefield-heroes.com and in the game's menu with no ads during gameplay. The game itself, however, will draw on EA DICE's years of experience in the sub-genre they helped invent – with the ultimate goal of making Battlefield Heroes appeal to old and new fans alike.
"We've designed the experience to appeal to the core fans as well as new players," explained Cousins. "The classic Battlefield gameplay is very much retained, with infantry, land vehicles and aircraft fighting simultaneously in large open levels, an emphasis on teamplay and tactics and a sense of not being bogged down in the politics of war, but we've also been very careful to make the game as accessible as possible to non-core fans. The game is free to download and play, will run on a low spec desktop or laptop, contains matchmaking so you play with people of equal skill level to you, and the game itself is simple to understand and pick-up-and-play whilst also being possibly the deepest Battlefield game to date."
"In terms of visual customizations, the characters are made up of about fifteen different parts, all of which can be customized - heads, facial hair, helmets, jackets, boots etc," he continued. "In terms of gameplay customizations - the player unlocks new weapons, skills and abilities as they play, choosing specific character traits as they go, very much like an RPG. There are many hundreds if not thousands of combinations of different Battlefield Heroes soldiers, from a gameplay point of view."
