The newest addition to the beloved Battlefield franchise, Battlefield Play4Free was released yesterday. As its name so unsubtly informs, it marches under the oh-so-popular “free-mium” banner. This means you can play the game for absolutely free if you want to–but you always have the option to pay for better weapons or experience points if you’d rather not wait to earn it over time.
"EA's free-to-play titles are shutting down in 90 days."
I always meant to check out Battlefield Heroes, but I always ended up turning back to Team Fortress 2. I guess I'm not the only one.
Such a good feeling to know a game I'm still playing 3 and a half years later is still making enough money to keep going for many years yet :)
Easy Studios - the other guys that make Battlefield games - have introduced the classic Battlefield game mode Rush in Battlefield Play4Free. The game mode is live as of this morning, ready to play right now.
Rush Mode, if you're not familiar with it, is an objective-based game mode in which players take turns defending and attacking points on the map. The defending team begins with 2 M-COM stations that need to be defended, while the attacking team is bent on destroying them. Attackers can either successfully plant charges on the M-COM stations or inflict enough heavy damage to put them out of commision.
First-Person and Third-Person Shooters quickly became one of the most appreciated subgenres in the free to play segment, offering the great quality usually seen in some triple-A titles. Better still, some of those triple-A games are gradually becoming free, such as Team Fortress 2 or APB: Reloaded.
Here is a great Top 10 of Free to Play Shooters for 2012.
Game is good. Try it out ladies.
Dated engine
BF2 with lower res textures
Maps are half the size of the orginal game.
Everything is a cash shop in this game.
You're better off playing BF2 vanilla or the Project Reality mod.
Don't waste your time.
Did I mention the countless hacks available for this game.
I enjoyed it!
