great news. I used to play BF2 a lot back in the days but it turned into a slow paced hide and seek game so I got borred. BF heroes looked good, it seemed like it would be something like TF2, dynamic, running around, fast paced game. When it was released, everyone was just hiding around corners, sniping, hiding, generally just camping around. So I got tired of that in like 3-4 hours. I presume not many ppl play it today for same reasons, hence the new free battlefield is coming out. I just hope there will be much less camping in this one because of a "reward" system.
