EA is ready and set to launch Battlefield Heroes- one of a kind cartoon FPS game. The has become old owning to Valve’s Team Fortress 2 included in The Orange Box. This game looks the same as TF2 the only difference is you don’t have to shell money for it. Yes! EA is not going to charge a single penny for this game.
The game as TF2 is online multiplayer game which looks quite the same. Somewhat a mod for the old TF2. But the game is quite different. The tanks in the game looks like designed with most care and the characters seems like real players masked in the game cartoon skin.
This might be an open challenge from EA to Valve and EA might also be successful in sucking some market space from Valve for its FPS release. The official website is Battlefield Heroes.
EA recently launched a game trailer. After watching the trailer video I was really amazed by the gameplay.
The game has 6 characters each with its own cause. Like in TF2. (Further I am not going to compare the both.) The game also seems to have details regarding the character specification as it changes its dress from the tip of its Helmet to the end of its trouser stitch. The skeletal structure remains the same only the clothes change. Making it eat a little less resources in the actual gameplay. The soldier seems to have some AOE(Area Of Effect) healing which means healing to all around him for a specific distance.
The cut scenes are directed strategically giving it the Classic Battlefield feel. The game trailer reminded me of the good old World War time with the maps , planes and tanks. The game is dated to be launched this summer as stated by EA. The game would be free to download to all. But I think soon after you download the real EA will clash with some subscription fee for further enjoyable gaming time.
Personally I didn’t care for TF2. I hope this one is better.
