EA today announced Battlefield Heroes, a "Play 4 Free" game released this summer!

Supporting itself by Microtransactions and in-game adverts (sigh), the official blurb goes:

Battlefield Heroes™ is a brand new Play 4 Free™ game from the people that brought you the multi-million selling Battlefield 1942™ and Battlefield 2™

It's a fun cartoon-style shooter which caters to players of all skill levels – easy to pick up and play, but with deep character development

It will be released for the PC as a free download in Summer 2008

Sound familiar? Can anyone think of a game recently that's a "fun cartoon-style shooter" and that's "easy to pick up"?

No? doesn't ring a bell? How about the only screenshot released of the game. Does it look like anything you've seen or played before :p?

Of course, EA are "cashing in" on Team Fortress 2s success and dominance. Whether they'll pull it off is yet to be seen. Still though, it is free so we can't moan.

Games for Windows has a world exclusive in their March issue (Out next month). Till then, we'll play some more TF2.
