EA Digital Illusions CE AB has contracted with Even Balance, Inc. to integrate PunkBuster Anti-Cheat software into the soon to be released "Play 4 Free" cartoon-style shooter known as Battlefield Heroes. We will soon be opening a section on our website to support PunkBuster for Battlefield Heroes.

This game looks like good mindless fun, sort of a mix of Battlefield and Team Fortress. :)

Check out the trailer if you haven't:

Not even sure if you can even host your own server

TPCG: How do the servers work, will it be like other BF games where you can browse a list of servers?

BC: We haven’t worked out the exact server model, but there’s no server browser in Battlefield Heroes, it’s like an Xbox Live game where you just hit ‘Play Now’ and we match-make you into a server. If you want to play with your friends you make a group and all play together. What we may add in the future is the ability for clans to – with a micro-transaction – hire a server just as they do now, and that would be a server which they would have preference for. Obviously if there’s only three of them on that server we would match-make other people into that game, but that would be a place where they’d be guaranteed to have a space.

Guess you need to reg an account in good old EA style, then it will be a bit more hard to get hold of new CD-keys all the time as in other free games out there.

Lets hope we don't get so much reduced fog submissions in the game ;)

That's what I read and if true PBBans will only support it clientside like Warrock. There hasn't been any official details how servers will work.

EA DICE's upcoming free-to-play PC shooter Battlefield Heroes has been delayed and is now expected to arrive late this year, publisher Electronic Arts announced today. EA CEO John Riccitiello announced that the game would now launch at the end of 2008, with the developers shifting focus to implementing better "social networking features."

Also EALA's squad-based first-person shooter Tiberium (PC, PS3, Xbox 360) has been delayed, publisher Electronic Arts today revealed in a conference call to investors. The latest word from Electronic Arts positions the title in its 2010 fiscal year, which runs from April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010. No further information was offered as to the cause of the delay.

I don't believe EA would release a game with out making a couple bucks on it. Maybe they'll just charge for partnership for servers.

Does anyone know if you will be able to buy servers for BF Heroes?
If you can only play by being put onto a random server without your friends by EA, this game will blow!

I'm hoping they allow you to buy servers, and select servers to join, because I love selecting servers to join in BF2 and BF2142.

Hello,

(have checked the REALLY long beta rules and various public announcements so it's all good)
There is going to be a 'friends' system so you can play alongside your buddies. The intelligent server selection will have your friends list as one of its criteria. Can't say much more without losing my beta key but it's awesome!
Advertising will pay for most of the game just the way the other 'play for free' games do. More info will be released by EA soon. Keep an eye on the bf heroes websites:
BF Heroes.org
Official EA BF Heroes Site

Cheers,
Pegasus
