PC Games has made an exclusive interview with DICE about Battlefield Heroes.
Some details:
- Pick one character and you level him up through the game.
- 3rd person rather than 1st person.
- Vehicles in the game unlike Team Fortress 2.
- Historical war setting.
- Much simpler than Team Fortress 2.
- Customizable solider: 15 parts to customize - gloves, hats, trousers, bags. Distinctive items.
- New players separated from hardcore players.
- Open beta in the summer.
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.
DICE need to slow down a bit...
I think they're spreading themselves a little thin trying to juggle 3 Battlefield titles at one time.
third person? that definitely raised my interest level.
Eek! I'll give that a miss..
