I must say, it looks way better now than when we first saw the pictures. This actually looks pretty fun, I'm loving the planes in particular.

Looks nice and stuff, but im not won for this amazing thing called 'free to play', it makes me shiver :micropaymentlol:.
Also, this fabulous "Casual Gamer" guy, he must be really awesome, every company goes down his alley.

I'd bitch about the theft of TF2's image, but it's free, so you can't complain really...kudos to EA. And I don't say that often.

one hopes this will get a console release, like a XBLA game or something. although, then, probably not for free - which would be fine by me.

Sounds cool. This and Quake Live - looks like I won't spend a cent on software this summer. Two very promising online action games...for free and legal, PC Gaming is definitely in disarray;-)

This is looking very good indeed. I have high hopes and do hope to see a console release. BF on the 360 was great fun.

I was a big fan of BF 1942 back in the day, but thanks to my out of date PC I wasn't able to join the BF2/2142 party. Looking forward to retuning to the Battlefield!

Why do people want a console release when you can play it for free on a pc? Surely everyone has a pc capable of running it?

Nice to see EA trying something new. However the article by Eurogamer fails to mention that EA has bought in a lot of the talent to make these new games just like it bought in the talent to make its old ones, how long till they start milking the new talents ideas.

Probably because this article is nothing to do with EA's business practices and more to do with a new game...

No-one else thinks that no first-person option is a bad thing? There hasn't even been a good third-person multiplayer shooter yet... can they nail it? (Gears multi really didn't work that well.)

I'd prefer a first-person option, but I can understand why it isn't there. Other than that, it looks pretty much like my internal perfect shooter.

Download should be pretty small, traditionally the main thing in the bf series that takes up most of the game code has been the maps and as there's only going to be 2 at launch it should be fairly small.

the game client will be free - but you will have to pay for additional items and goodies. Its a totally new business model EA are bringing to Europe - which they currently use with FIFA in the Asia markets

I'm happy about this (it would be churlish not to be) and I am hoping that Valve respond with more support and evolution of TF2.

Double win!

Actually looks alright! Fingers crossed...

They've got my attention with the bit in the trailer about not constantly getting annihilated by 15-year-old FPS maestros... To be as good as them you need to either play way too much, or be a prodigy, and unfortunately neither of those applies to me.

I play a bit of Battlefield 2142 but usually get frustrated as I don't play it enough to be on a level with most people online, so I often end up frustrated with dying so much. If they can fix that, they've got my attention.

You guys know Team Fortress 2 didn't invent cartoon graphics don't you? It's a logical (and frankly long-overdue) step for game makers to try and do something that isn't trying to look... y'know, real.

I know cartooney games have been around for years, but this looks more like wartime propaganda art than Team Fortress anyway.

"There hasn't even been a good third-person multiplayer shooter yet"

GRAW 1 and 2 say hello! Conker Live and Reloaded says hi too.

@Slipstream

Thanks for the reply. I haven't played Conker Reloaded, but I did play GRAW 1 on PC and it was first-person. According to wikipedia, the 360 version had a first-person option too. The devs obviously weren't that confident in their third-person view. And what really bothered me about BF Heroes is that the developer justified third person without any reference to quality of gameplay but just because they reckon you have to constantly stare at the character's ass to get a connection that'll make you want to keep coming back and upgrading it and therefore also seeing ads.
Still, if the 360 version of GRAW was fun in third-person then I stand corrected. And if Heroes is free then I'm not complaining.

3rd person has me very worried this is gonna be a casual gamer letdown. If it works like Jet Force Gemini's over the shoulder aiming then hats off to Dice, but looking at the video it isn't :(
