Richard Hammond Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 oooo shiny, looks like BF2 one of the better games of the franchise Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/951180-official-battlefield-play4free/#findComment-593343064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleo Global Moderator Posted November 5, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted November 5, 2010 Nifty, but western developers pretty much suck at the whole free to play thing. More often than not, it's more "try for free" than free to play.

Richard Hammond Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Battlefield Heroes was play for free but they made a huge mistake by trying to make into the TF2 of Battlefield, this is more BF2 than anything which is a good thing as other than Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942, BF2 is one of the better games of the franchise.

Crisp Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 I'm also to beleive that it's going to be browser based, as an official tweeted... @bfplay4free is PC only, but WILL run on your PC, even if it isn't a dedicated gaming rig. Drop the gamepad and get back to the PC :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/951180-official-battlefield-play4free/#findComment-593343118 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Hammond Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Battlefield Heroes was also browser based that launched game fullscreen, dont see what the problem is?

Caleo Global Moderator Posted November 5, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted November 5, 2010 Battlefield Heroes was also browser based that launched game fullscreen, dont see what the problem is? Not exactly. It had browser integration for launching/updating, but the actual program is an exe that installs to your programs folder.. not some flash/java/html5 game which is what "browser based" implies.

Richard Hammond Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Right and considering its made by the same dev team that made Battlefield Heroes why would they suddenly turn it into a flash/java game? Browse based just implies that it is configured and launched from a web browser and not launched like a regular game.

All you need is a PC capable of running like... YouTube.

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted November 5, 2010 Veteran Share Posted November 5, 2010 looks good, Hopefully it will play better than heroes did (was not impressed with that game too glitchy) Also reminds me of Quake live.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted November 5, 2010 Veteran Share Posted November 5, 2010 Moved Here It's an interesting combination of Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 2. The music alone filled me with feelings of nostalgia. I'm definitely going to check it out.

Crazysah Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Battlefield Heroes was pretty good except for lag and some other problems. I hope this improves on it all and makes the game go back to the traditionals!

I'm and it's nice to have an alternative. And even nicer, when you don't have to pay for it.

AbandonedTrolley Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Without sounding daft, what's the chances of this running on a Revo then? As they do have the ION chipset?

Pupik Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 i was done with it for a while, but then the last patch they fixed pretty much every beef i had with the game and i'm addicted again. I had no "beef" with the game, so I didn't really cared for the last update. It didn't change for me anything, didn't add new maps, weapons or gameplay modes and as most of my friends already got bored of the game way before me, there was nothing left for me with the game.

Ayepecks Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Interview with the guy behind it all + game play footage. IMO, that gameplay looks superb. It looks very PC-centric, which is great -- none some lame knockoff. I love the simplistic HUD, also (I know that's kind of a random comment, but a big pet peeve of mine are overly complicated HUDs). Without sounding daft, what's the chances of this running on a Revo then? As they do have the ION chipset? Should definitely be possible. May have to run it at a lower resolution, but I would imagine it would be playable without all the bells and whistles.

C++vid Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Looks pretty good IMO. Let's just hope it's compatible with Google Chrome (unlike Battlefield: Heroes :shiftyninja:) lol.
