It's been less than a month since we last saw Battlefield Heroes at Austin GDC and a few new details have emerged. To kick off our time with the game we witnessed a short demo on one of the two maps called Seaside Skirmish. This is a small coastal town that includes plenty of tanks, planes, and flags that are up for capture. Anyone who's played any iteration of Battlefield will find the experience familiar.
Of course, the experience has been adjusted to appeal to a much wider audience. Firefights last much longer than in a shooter like Call of Duty 4, allowing players to react and adjust to an attack. Tanks and Planes are also less affective to take away the annoying occurrence of constantly being blown to smithereens by vehicles. The colorful graphics, the drag-and-drop customization system, and a third person view are all meant to make the game as approachable as possible.
Unfortunately we still didn't get to look at the web site or item store that will accompany Battlefield Heroes. We'll have to wait longer to see the Theater of War meta game that accompanies the core shooter and uses player's experience points to play a Risk-like game on a grand scale.
