''sans'' lol
@mpribe
I agree in most respects, however, free to play scares the crap out of me. A good example of this, although not a shooter, is LoTRO. Great game to play, I just did not have the time in the day to truly devote myself to a subscription model of more than one game. When it went free to play I was stoked. I signed up for the initial beta and got under way leveling up a hunter...except to get anywhere in the game you HAD to put out some cash. To top this off, if you could pay a subscription fee instead of cash for virtual items that don't exist, you would pay less. As such, while free to play is a good idea in theory, in practice it is a way for large corporations to get even more money out of their fan base. When a game is only free to play to a point, it is NOT free to play, it is a trial.

Sounds like it'll be good. I'm a big FPS fan and really can't stand the 3rd person view. Gotta go check out the battlefield heroes game now too. lol

I strongly agree. I quit some free online games due to cheaters. They ruin a game.

My questions:
Does it run on the old BF2 engine, with BFBC2 assets (excluding vehicles, in the trailer, they used BF2 vehicles)? Or did they port the maps to the Frostbite 2 engine? Will there be destructible environments? Or will they be static? Still, will most likely play, BF2 had a very arcade style of play, will definitely be enjoyable with BFBC2 mechanics, I hope they bring back proning.

C'mon to all you nay-sayers. What do you want for free? I'll probably give it a shot. I love online multiplayer mayhem.

EA really dropped the ball... after Battlefield 2 they were basically neck and neck with the Call of Duty Franchise. Since then however, Call of Duty blows them out of the water, even though the game play is better on the battlefield franchise.
WHERE THE HELL IS BATTLEFIELD 3?!?!?!? its only been like 5 years....

The free to play model is nice in theory, but is almost always so skewed towards the paying users that it quickly becomes no fun for the free users.

Looks like all the "positive" feedback from BC2 paid off. Trying to save your face in the community's face, DICE? Good start.
As a big fan of Counter-Strike and FPS games in general i'll try this game too. I'm sure that it will be a lot of fun, but CS is still my no1 FPS game.
