What is Battlefield Play4Free?
Battlefield Play4Free is an all-new free-to-play game from the same team that created Battlefield Heroes. It’s a first person shooter with realistic graphics and is set in the modern theatre of war – featuring the opposing forces of Russia and the US battling it out with modern weapons, equipment and vehicles.
What are some of the features in the game?
Battlefield Play4Free combines features and content from several different Battlefield games. We call it ‘the best of Battlefield’
•32 players!
•New updated PC engine with HD console quality graphics – high resolution artwork and post-processing effects
•The weapons and equipment of Battlefield Bad Company 2
•The factions and classes of Battlefield Bad Company 2
•Maps are updates of classic BF2 maps like Strike at Karkand
•Vehicles are familiar BF2 classics (Yes, that includes helicopters and jets!)
•The leveling, abilities and deep visual and gameplay customization of Battlefield Heroes
•Free-to-play, quick to download and low system specs like Battlefield Heroes
How long have the team been working on it?
We started work in January 2010, with a full team working on it since August.
Why did you make this game?
Community feedback (LOTs of it and for that we thank all of you) and our own research into the Battlefield Heroes audience and free-to-play shooter fans generally told us that you are pretty hardcore, and the majority of you actually really like and want modern, military-style shooters.
So we decided to take what we’ve learned from Battlefield Heroes and create a brand new, modern, military shooter; taking the most popular features of Battlefield Heroes and bringing them into a whole new setting with the help of content and features from other Battlefield titles.
When does Battlefield Play4Free come out?
Closed Beta will start November 30th, 2010. Open Beta is scheduled for early 2011.
Can I use my Battlefield Heroes account for Battlefield Play4Free?
When registering for and once you start playing Battlefield Play4Free, we encourage you to use your existing Battlefield Heroes account, but you can’t move characters between the two games.
What kind of items will there be in the Battlefield Play4Free store?
Very similar to the selection for Battlefield Heroes. Visual customization items, weapons, widgets (although they won’t be called that) etc.
How do I sign up for The Battlefield Play4Free beta?
Easy! Go to Battlefield.Play4Free.com and enter your email address (make sure to use your existing Heroes email address if you already play it) – we’ll contact you with a beta key as soon as a slot opens up for you.
Are there any other ways I can get access to the closed beta?
The very first people to get access to the Battlefield Play4Free closed beta will be key selected members of the Battlefield Heroes community.
There will be other ways to get access, keep checking our Battlefield Play4Free Facebook and Twitter for details.
How can I stay up-to-date with the latest Battlefield Play4Free news?
The best way to grab the latest news and updates from the Battlefield is to follow our Facebook and Twitter
Are you stopping work on Battlefield Heroes?
Absolutely not! Our Battlefield Heroes work plans are unchanged. These are some of the things that are still coming:
•Deep Space 2
Take the Isaac look a step back in time and enter on the battlefield dressed as the alien slaying engineer from Dead Space 2
•Two more game modes
•Christmas Specials
Join us this festive season as the temperatures chill and the battlefield becomes a more ruthless war zone than ever before with bone chilling colds and the seemingly endless snow fall. Not only that, but you will also have the chance to get your hands on never before seen goodies, including... scoped guns!
•Bug Fixes
Along with all of these awesome new features and epic chunks of content we have been working hard on fixing many of those pesky bugs you have been reporting to us. With the help of your feedback we are crushing those bugs.
What is your priority – Battlefield Heroes or Battlefield Play4Free?
Both are prioritized equally. Battlefield Heroes already has a huge community and is a very important game to us (it’s EA’s biggest Play4Free game). Battlefield Play4Free, however, is in a heavy development phase and therefore needs quite a bit of attention too.
What game is better, Battlefield Heroes or Battlefield Play4Free?
Despite sharing a lot of similarities, both games are very different in feel. Battlefield Heroes is more light-hearted, arcade-like and cartoony. Battlefield Play4Free is more serious, realistic, violent and gritty.
We enjoy playing both.
Will I be able to use my Battlefunds in Battlefield Play4Free?
Yes! As long as you use the same account for both games, your Battlefund balance will be shared between both games!
Can I use my VP or HP in Battlefield Play4Free?
Nope – Battlefield Play4Free will have two new currencies to replace VP and HP, so these will not be shared between games
I’ve been playing Heroes forever, do I get a reward for this in Battlefield Play4Free?
We are working hard on creating lots of cool connections between the titles, but are not talking about them at the moment. Imagine unlocking cool stuff in Battlefield Play4Free if you have done something (hit a level, done a mission) in Battlefield Heroes, and vice-versa. We want you guys to play and enjoy both games, so we will work on rewards for doing so.
So you are just trying to get us to spend money in two games then? Damn money-grabbing EA…
Definitely not. You guys are free to choose whether to buy Battlefunds or play for free in both titles. The vast majority of Heroes players never spend any money, and we expect this to also be the case for Battlefield Play4Free.
We also expect Battlefield Play4Free to bring in a whole new audience, who were put off Battlefield Heroes by the cartoony graphics and less serious feel of the game.
How does Battlefield Play4Free relate to Battlefield 3?
Like our connections with Battlefield Heroes, we are working on deep connections between Battlefield Play4Free and the upcoming Battlefield 3. If you plan to play Battlefield 3, we would advise you get into Battlefield Play4Free at the earliest opportunity!!

I never played 1942, but in my opinion, BF2 is the best multiplayer FPS game I've ever played and I believe it will stay that way for a while.
This does look promising, though. I foresee a lack of content, though.

you would be surprised, free to play games usually bring in a lot of money and lots of content. (if done right anyway, and no, BFH was not done right)FFLink wrote:

This looks pretty decent. BF2 was awesome, and this basically is BF2 but with better graphics and shit. This shall certainly do until BF3 comes out!
Wasn't that 1943?Stingray24 wrote:

So, pretty much, it's BC2 changed to look like BF2 with the character customization of BFH?
For me, BC2 isn't a terribly great game, and having it set in Karkand doesn't change that. Might be worth a look though, I'll be keeping my eye on it.

I believe it said they would have jets and helis. Which makes it a lot more like BF2. Maps should be bigger to accomadate the jets and helisSup3r_Dr4gon wrote:

If the choppers fly like they do in BC2 I will............go rawr.
1942 just felt like a deathmatch game. Jump in, shoot stuff, get bored after a round or two, leave. You never felt like you really wanted to win every round, just kill as many people as you could before you left. On the other hand, in BF2, you wanted to win the rounds, use teamwork etc. The stats system made it a bit addictive too. Maybe I just knew more people online who played BF2 and played with them often, but I never had as much fun with 1942.Miggle wrote:

stats system ruins these games imo
I'll definitely take a look into it.
As for a remake of 1942, I think Battlefield: Korea would be a better alternative, as opposed to doing either modern warfare or WW2 and considering there's no games I can think of set during the Korean War.

Even putting 42 into the BF2 engine would be a big improvement - more trees, squads etc.
Bullshit, bf2 didn't give me the feel of fun that 1942 did.Finray wrote:

The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.

Don't get funny with me. It was great, whole new world to me and had a greater impact than bf2. With the airplanes, tanks, ships, and boats and the epic theme they tried to bring in the game. Battlefield 2's theme just gave me intense infantry fighting and the oh shit a tank, not to mention bf2 ruined dogfighting with airplanes.HaiBai wrote:

i don't know, i've never played 1942. i was just saying that usually you'll always think the first game you ever played was the best because you miss the memories.War Man wrote:
