"When I joined the team we started talking about what character classes we wanted. In previous Battlefield games you were a soldier who picked up a kit and assumed that role. For Heroes we wanted to take a different slant on that idea. We wanted you to own your Hero.

Revive Network kept fans happy with a few long dead Battlefield titles, but today that all stops.

Battlefield Heroes officially launched on the 25th June 2009.
For a free game, this looks pretty cool.
