Commando (light), Soldier (medium), and Gunner (heavy) are the available character options. Like previous Battlefield games Battlefield Heroes also has a class system, but has been reduced to three basic classes. Players can choose whether or not to participate in the Metagame. The land gained is then recorded as a win for each army, and at the end of the week everything is added up and both armies are given money based on percentage and land conquered. The point system in Battlefield Heroes is being called Metagame (non official name), which allows characters to fight for a territorial positions during each match. Two maps will be available on release, but a third map is in development. Players do not pick spawn points since the game has an “Intelligent Spawn System” putting players closest to the nearest battle. Spawn times are Five seconds allowing for less waiting and more action. The game is third-person only at this point, but senior producer Ben Cousins has stated if first-person is really wanted it may be added in at a later date. The two armies are called the National Army (possessing a red base color flag) and the Royal Army (possessing a blue base color flag).
Developers of the game have talked about levels going as high as 40 or 50. Players of each level will play with other players within a couple levels of their own. Matchmaking will also be a feature to keep players of the same level together. It is possible to win by owning more flags than the enemy and by killing fewer of them. Killing enemies will reduce tickets and holding more flags than the opposing army will grant a multiplier. Gameplayīattlefield Heroes features classic Battlefield-gameplay with a variety of classes and vehicles.īattlefield Heroes features a modified conquest mode providing each team 50 tickets and two flags at the start of the round. In addition, a system will be in place to match players of similar skill levels together for fair play. The game is said to be placing less emphasis on skill and strategy, and will be less demanding on computer specifications than the previous games of the series to increase the audience base. Advertisements will appear on the website and the ‘front-end’ of the game although none will appear in-game, while micropayments may be made for additional items to customize the appearance of players’ avatars without any gaming advantage. Currently planned for release for Windows-based PCs in summer 2008, Heroes will be the first Battlefield game to be released under Electronic Arts’ new “Play 4 Free” model, which will see the game released for free with revenue generated from advertising and micropayments. The game features context-specific third- and first-person shooter perspectives. Battlefield Heroes is a cartoon-style action game currently under development by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE an EA Company).
