Battlefield Play4Free Announced, Coming In Spring 2011

That looks cool! Cant wait!

this looks amazing cant wait to play

Hopefully it won't go the way of Heroes..

No comments on the fact that jets are coming back to the franchise? JETS ARE BACK! That is the biggest thing I got from the trailer. Gives me hope for BF3 :)

Interesting way to continue the series, wonder how it will turn out.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET THE THEME SONG?! 
 
Anyway, the game looks cool, but i doubt that its gonna be better than original BF2.

Loved the Metal Rendition of the Battlefield Theme, Awesome and I might even check this out at some point.

ehh...guess i'll give it a shot. My expectations are pretty low though.

This had better be better than Battlefield Heroes.  That was an atrocity.

Hmm seems like EA is fighting against themselves for market share now. Bad company 2 Vietnam Medal of Honor, Battlefield Heroes now this. Guess they are trying to cover every FPS aspect that people wanna play, though I would guess they overlap is large. would guess that most people that care will buy the full fledged game and not deal with Free2Play games.  

Looks cool, but I'll wait for battlefield 3...

Whatever! It's not DICE making this game! I'll try it but I'm probably going to stick to Bad Company 2 until DICE goes to unleash the behemoth that is BF3!

It seems cool but at this point I just really want Battlefield 3!

They've changed Strike at Karkand, the best city map in any battlefield game. Fuck this game.

Oh wow, Battlefield 2. I remember playing this SIX YEARS AGO!

MICRO TRANSACTIONFIELD 

" Best thing about the trailer for this is the theme song "

So much for that rumor of  bringing BF2 maps to BC2. Thanks for letting longtime fans down yet again at every step of the way, DICE.
 
PS: Brad, Play4Free is an existing EA program that Battlefield Heroes, NFS World, Battleforge, and others fit into as well. You can't just call this game "Play4Free" and expect to make the sense you think you do.

I'll give it a shot like I did Heroes but I'll end up going back to playing Bad Company 2 cause I can.

I'm still "hurt" by what they did to Battlefield Heroes. It was fun until they raised the prices of items bought with VP (VP was earned, for free) and took away any incentive to play unless you paid. I hope they don't do that with this new Battlefield game.
 
But I'll go back and play a round of BFH, and try it when it comes around.

Damn, I had almost forgotten how the BF-theme went. Stupid Bad Company :/

" Best thing about the trailer for this is the theme song "

Dude - it's a mix between BF2 and BF:BC 2 assets. Maps and vehicles are BF2, running on an updated BF2 engine (doesn't seem to be Frostbite) and the weapons and gadgets and classes are imported from BF:BC 2.
 
If they've got permanent weapon unlocks for purchase, I might just get me my favorite for each kit and then mix it up with in-game currency. Then again, I'm probably not going to be serious about it since there's gonna be BF:BC 2 Vietnam amongst tons of other games too.
 
Too many games for me to consider spending time on F2P gaming really.

Sweet. I already play BF:H but that thing has some weird issues with using tokens to buy new items. I bought at least four new characters and they never showed up in my profile to use.

Is Battlefield becoming EAs Call of Duty, but instead of 1 game a year, 3?

Ugh. Good for those that are in to free-to-play online games with cash shops. I was hoping for some Battlefield 3 news. Also, I fear that these reduced class numbers in Heroes, Bad Company 2, and Play4Free is a sign of things to come for Battlefield 3.

Battlefield is always worth a look, and I like taht they keep tray these different free-to play and downloadable games.  

I'd rather just pay the $50-$60 and have it over with. 
 
They're clearly prepping a new generation of gamers for BF3, at least.

I have 10 bucks that say they are going to fuck this one up even worse than bf heroes.

Probably a much smarter move to put "play4free" in the title. Might not be elegant, but it certainly gets the point across.

may as well just go buy BF2, i mean it's practically free by now right?

I think I'd rather just play Battlefield 2...

Yeah, Strike at Karkand!

Free game; can't really complain, if you think about it. No doubt they'll pull other F2P's and make 'elite' stuff achievable through paying real money at launch, but it's still a free game.

It's basically a stripped down Battlefield 2 - or at least that's what it looks like. If you already have BF2 there really is no point in getting this.

" Why do they keep announcing stuff with battlefield except what everyone actually wants....  "

" That map looks like Strike at Karkand, aka best battlefield 2 map (they just have to do something to balance out the bridge chokepoint...) "

What a terrible name. Other then that it's neat I guess? I think I'd rather just pay $60 upfront for a more quality game, though. At least, if Heroes was any indication.

" Why do they keep announcing stuff with battlefield except what everyone actually wants....  "

To everyone wondering why to play this game: go play BFH sometime. It's nice and relaxed, because you're only playing against idiots. The better question is why not play it?

Cmon Bf2 is like, 10 bucks. just go buy it and get a good game

" Guys this is battlefield 2 wtf "

Very good music.

" I wish EA would concentrate their resources on their current products, not keep spreading themselves so thin across so many others, namely BC2 and the vietnam expansion. "

EA REALLY wants in that microtransaction/ad supported market that Zynga is dominating in

So this is separate from Battlefield 3? Interesting, EA continues this effort to throw everything at the wall at once with Battlefield and a surprising amount of it is sticking.

This looks awesome O_O
