Free to download and free to play...and it's from EA. Surely theres a catch

Just watched the first trailer and it looks to be a mix between the other Battlefield games and Team Fortress 2.

i think the only real catch is in game advertising? like pepsi on the walls etc. not 100% sure. but i do know it is free.

Anything FREE is nice
I'm looking forward to it... should be fun.

Yes, there is. You can't play it.

Battlefield Heroes looks interesting! Pity, then, that
I wont' be able to play it, as EA have announced that
despite being a free download, the game won't be available
to players in places like Australia, New Zealand,
Japan...South Africa, and...oh, Mexico. Anywhere
outside the US and Europe, actually. No reason was
given for the snub, so we're tossing up whether it's
something to do with the title's in-game advertising
or simply EA waking up on the wrong side of their big,
cushy corporate bed all week.
Australia & Others Will Miss Out On Battlefield Heroes

I'm sure by the time it's complete, the game will be avail to us.

looks like fun, hope we'll see it

EA have now confirmed that it will still be available outside the US and Europe, however according to Internode, support for the game may be limited outside those two regions, and this may also affect the ability to provide 'official' (i.e. ranked) local servers.

This is old news, its been confirmed that it will be available outside of the us for a while now, that noob kotaku site just never updates :/

Am I the only one that thinks this game looks a bit "cartoonish"? compared to BF2 and BF2142.

 

[Fudzy]

Argh, I watched the trailer and was hoping to see this on the Xbox soon. I hope they get sued by Valve for the blatant TF2 cartoon style ripoff

 

[saffakanera]

I dont like the idea of a battlefield/team fortress bandwagon, free or no.

 

[AutoX]

When will we be able to try this out?

I could be wrong about this but doesn't EA own Valve/Steam?

...that video was the best... I was crying from pain I laughed so hard!

No.

... No, but having said that, Not YET sounds like a good answer too.

EA buys everything up that it can.

Any idea on ETA?

OT: Got Battlefield Bad Company yesterday. Awesome so far about an hour in, those destructable environments are superb.

 

[medicnick83]

Nah eh... I'm guessing maybe 2.3 months ETA.

But that's just my opinon.
