oooo shiny, looks like BF2 one of the better games of the franchise

[Caleo Global Moderator]

Nifty, but western developers pretty much suck at the whole free to play thing. More often than not, it's more "try for free" than free to play.

[Richard Hammond]

Battlefield Heroes was play for free but they made a huge mistake by trying to make into the TF2 of Battlefield, this is more BF2 than anything which is a good thing as other than Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942, BF2 is one of the better games of the franchise.

Launches november 30th..llooks like bad company meets battlefield 2...hope they dont screw this one up...dice..if your listening..we still want BF3!

[Crisp]

I'm also to beleive that it's going to be browser based, as an official tweeted...

@bfplay4free is PC only, but WILL run on your PC, even if it isn't a dedicated gaming rig. Drop the gamepad and get back to the PC :)

Battlefield Heroes was also browser based that launched game fullscreen, dont see what the problem is?

Not exactly. It had browser integration for launching/updating, but the actual program is an exe that installs to your programs folder.. not some flash/java/html5 game which is what "browser based" implies.

[Richard Hammond]

Right and considering its made by the same dev team that made Battlefield Heroes why would they suddenly turn it into a flash/java game?

Browse based just implies that it is configured and launched from a web browser and not launched like a regular game.

^This

It's like Cloud Computing, where the graphics and stuff are delt with on their side and it's streamed to your PC.

All you need is a PC capable of running like... YouTube.

That's the launch date of the beta, not the final game :p

Can't wait though :D

looks good, Hopefully it will play better than heroes did (was not impressed with that game too glitchy) Also reminds me of Quake live.

Moved Here

It's an interesting combination of Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 2. The music alone filled me with feelings of nostalgia. I'm definitely going to check it out.

Battlefield Heroes was pretty good except for lag and some other problems. I hope this improves on it all and makes the game go back to the traditionals!

looks interesting, but since i have bad company 2 i don't really a see a point in this for me...

Aren't you bored of BC2 yet? I'm and it's nice to have an alternative.

And even nicer, when you don't have to pay for it.

[AbandonedTrolley]

Without sounding daft, what's the chances of this running on a Revo then? As they do have the ION chipset?

i was done with it for a while, but then the last patch they fixed pretty much every beef i had with the game and i'm addicted again.

I had no "beef" with the game, so I didn't really cared for the last update. It didn't change for me anything, didn't add new maps, weapons or gameplay modes and as most of my friends already got bored of the game way before me, there was nothing left for me with the game.

[ApuBo]

i like the sound track, hope i can get it somehow.

IMO, that gameplay looks superb. It looks very PC-centric, which is great -- none some lame knockoff. I love the simplistic HUD, also (I know that's kind of a random comment, but a big pet peeve of mine are overly complicated HUDs).

Should definitely be possible. May have to run it at a lower resolution, but I would imagine it would be playable without all the bells and whistles.

STRIKE AT KARKAND! One of the best bf2 maps ever. Officially gonna love this.

[C++vid]

Looks pretty good IMO.

Let's just hope it's compatible with Google Chrome (unlike Battlefield: Heroes :shiftyninja:) lol.
