[Official] Battlefield: Play4Free


Recommended Posts

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.

Same here. Felt like I was in high school all over again :laugh: .

I had my nose in the air about this one until I watched the trailer. It definitely looks like a lot of fun, and I will give it a try. The only thing that I wonder about is how EA is going to monetize this down the line. It would be cool if they limited it to advertisements and apparel (hell, I would probably buy some stuff for my soldier), but I have a feeling they'll start offering up more powerful guns for cash as well.

Looks a hell of a lot better than Battlefield Heroes though.

Strike At Karakand?! :woot: That's like my favorite MP EVER! With BF2 being my favorite MP game ever! :D Holy Crap! I am stoked! Cannot effing wait! :cry:

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

Exactly. (Y)

If I get the tank when the round starts, watch out. :laugh:

Looks exactly like BF2, why not just go play that.

It's even lacking content in comparison.

From what I see its more like A combination of BF2, BC2, and a little bit of heroes, making for a more casual game than bf2. The graphics are slightly updated bf2 graphics, its free to play, probably doesn't have the ridiculously slow bf2 server browser, will probably have more servers as its a free to play game (I can't even play bf2 anymore, every server is infantry only karkand or a jets only flight simulator fest :p)

I can definitely see why one would want to play this over bf2.

Fair enough, from the videos I just didn't see the point :) Probably because I never was a huge BF fan, except BF1942 and a bit of Vietnam.

Are you one of those that just roam around the first checkpoint and kill everyone immediately as they spawn?

Yeah you are such a fun competitor >_>

I've already been through this multiple times on this site, and i swear it was with you as well, but no, i will actually play the entire map. Yes, sure the first battle of the match usually tends to take place on that hill going into town and sure with a good engineer i could just keep the match there and thats it, but that gets old really fast. And that area is actually pretty far from the spawn point. I have never nor will i ever spawn camp. I actually play Conquest mode the way it is meant to be played, so i will capture and defend points. I probably know the roads of karkand better then i know my own roads in my neighborhood and i can drive the tank the entire time backwards if i wanted to. I am just good with a tank and enjoy driving them. Just as there are people that are good with the copters and prefer that. So way to make a comment about me being a fun competitor without having any clue.

I'm really liking the game's concept... but am I the only one who think it looks just like BF2, if not worse? (graphics wise). I know I've got a bit of nostalgia goggles going on, but I played it not too long ago, and I have to say the graphics on this are less than impressive.

Ah man DL I can't wait for this! Me and you are going to have to get some games in together (Y)

No doubt man! You know we will get some matches in. I am really looking forward to it as well.

I really am curious since this is PC only, if there are going to bring back the more robust squad system, basically the way it was in BF2, and not the stripped down version we have come to know thanks to the game being consolized. Not that squad system in the Bad Company games has been awful, but it is definitely not the way it used to be. I loved having commanders and squad leaders, so I really wonder if it will come back, and if it does not make it into this game, it better make it into BF3.

I know exactly how you feel dude being elected to Commander felt awesome in BF2 and it really did work well! I loved that system and the day BF3 comes out is the day I am going to build a BEAST of a Gaming Rig for that game alone! Cannot wait!

I think you should play bf2 again, these graphics definitely look better.

    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a surprise reveal from Activision that wasn't related to Call of Duty. The Microsoft-owned publisher revealed a brand-new Spyro game, confirming the return of the series that last had a brand-new entry appear nearly 20 years ago. Watch the new Spyro: A Realm Beyond trailer above, which shows off a new look for the iconic dragon. While most of the trailer is a rendered cinematic, the very end does feature a snippet of gameplay captured on PC. The development team working on this project is Toys for Bob. This is the same studio that delivered the Spyro Reignited Trilogy remasters that brought back the original games for fans. "We are huge Spyro fans ourselves and we are so excited that 'the adventure continues'," says Toys For Bob Studio Head, Paul Yan. "I know the wait has been excruciating but we’re so thrilled to finally come out of stealth and confirm that a new Spyro game is indeed what we’ve been up to these past few years." As is evident from the trailer, Spyro has grown since his previous adventures, and that means he is better at flying too. Players will be able to fly around with freedom for the first time in the series this time, and not just inside mini-levels. "In Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Spyro will experience the freedom of true dragon flight," adds Yan. "He’s small, but mighty, so we had to do a lot of different experiments to explore how he could be both nimble and still be very physical when actively pushing his way through the air." The studio promises the return of whimsical worlds to explore, with plenty of treasure and activities to find. There is a new antagonist coming in to threaten this peaceful world too. Moreover, Tom Kenny is returning to voice Spyro. Spyro: A Realm Beyond is releasing sometime in Spring 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
