The freely distributed Battlefield Heroes is a cartoon-style third-person-shooter, in the Battlefield series. There are no advertisements in the game and players aren't penalized for not paying. You can pay, but all you get are extras, such as unique clothing and an ability that doubles the experience points you gain."
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.
