- if you wanna play a battlefield for free you'll play bf:heroes
- if you want a cheap battlefield with a pretty big community even now you'll just play bf2...just about 15$ with all (3 i guess) expansions and the latest patch...
- if you wan't none of it and just the latest battlefield with all the classes which are in bfp4f and destructible worlds and you'll play bfbc2 (which is not expensive now either)...

i really don't get why they don't just focus on their already released titles and maintain them?!
instead they go for another battlefield title which is neither unique nor new (or relevant), since there are so many (free) shooters in the bfp4f style out there...

And if you want a GOOD Battlefield, you'll play Battlefield 1942

sure...1942, vietnam, bfbc, 2142...whatever you want
as i said...i just don't get why another bf title which is in no way new but just mashing up stuff from other titles (and not even all the good stuff) - and all titles so far had something new in a particular way, didn't they?
i just thought i mention the latest titles of the bf series

Not really liking the "Play4Free" part of the title, it sounds silly
Anyways, sounds pretty sweet, much more interesting than their other f2p fps, bf:heroes


Yeah, i was going to take it out but then i forgot lol.

Admin could fix it up if needed.

I was talking about the title of the game itself, not the title of the thread

I think this is kinda cool. Even if it is just a mash up of other games, it is free.
I have lots of friends who have to pay for school, pay for their place, food, you know, that kind of stuff, who can't afford games right now. But, they still want to play.
So it'll be kinda cool.

Anyway, the more like BF2 it is, the better. BFBC wasn't as good, but BF2.. ♥♥♥
you are perfect porcelain.

sure it's good that it's free...but there are already sooo many games in the style of bfp4f which are also free...and there's also already bf heroes...
i just don't think it was a smart choice...that's all i wanna say

and about bf2...sure it's a great game!!! i totally agree. but comparing bfbc2 to bf2 is like comparing cs and hl2dm, you know...

Interview about the game and how the match-making system works etc. You won't get people with high skill or "toys" against you if you aren't high enough etc.

Its by EA so they will find some way to stuff it up completely and make it suck.

With BF2 their patches had fixes .... for their patches. BC2 is a system whore and has uninspired lacklustre gameplay, and boring maps.

Don't hold your breath for this.

What a huge disappointment, but I can't say I'm surprised. I doubt us BF fans will ever see a true BF3. By that I mean PC focused BF game with 64 players, jets, mod support, ect ect.

Things have just gotten worse over the years, and BFBC2 was no exception. Awful balance, lack of patches, lack of maps, and no mods.

I'd be wary.

Battlefield Heroes was initially a fun filled awesome fest until they went and destroyed it for everyone who actually wanted to PLAY4FREE.
The core gamer is the bastard middle child of the casual and hardcore gamer. He invests the former's effort and cries when he doesn't get the latter's results.

I still think that Vietnam was the greatest disappointment in the franchise as a whole. That had the potential to be the coolest, but it was glitched to everloving shit.


Things are slightly less glitchy on consoles though... 2142 was another bad glitchy one, just everything so choppy

Awesome, Battlefield 2 is probably my favourite PC shooter of all time (that or COD4).

Bad Company was trash.

Might be good, at least the music was good in the trailer. Hope it will get a proper server listing, when I played heroes it was quite hard to join on a friend, but that was in late beta.

The last good Battlefield game was Bf2, which is more free than this will ever be.
I wouldn't even think about wasting my time on this.
