NZGamer writes: "Not many things in life are free, but Battlefield: Heroes is. Heroes is the next instalment in the Battlefield series from DICE and Electronic Arts; this title, however, is not about providing a realistic warzone experience like the previous games. EA's objective was to provide a free, fun and easy game to the community, and it is made free thanks to the wonderful world of advertising, made fun thanks to a whacky sense of humour, and made easy for new and casual players.
Heroes features three classes: the Soldier, the Commando, and the Heavy. The Soldier will be balanced and the general default class, the Commando is more of a special ops character armed with a cloak, landmines, and a sniper rifle, and the Heavy will be the slower, more powerful character armed with giant machine guns and a large amount of health. Players can also gain ranks that give you access to new outfits, accessories, and abilities."
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.
