Once again, EA demoed its colorful and cartoony Battlefield Heroes at the EA Summer Showcase today. While the game remains in the popular Battlefield franchise, it's a departure from games of the past in several ways. The first and biggest is that it's free to play and will largely be supported by advertising in between games and on the web site. Second is the game's more playful style, which also includes visuals that aim more towards fun than realism (think Team Fortress 2 and you've got it).
Revive Network kept fans happy with a few long dead Battlefield titles, but today that all stops.
A Battlefield Heroes remake is now available. The open beta can be downloaded right now, with players populating servers once more.
Battlefield Heroes is scheduled to shut it's doors on the 14th July.
Due to dwindling player counts EA most likely decided now was the best time to retire the third person shooter of the acclaimed Battlefield series.
Battlefield Heroes officially launched on the 25th June 2009.
