Battlefield Play for free
The word “Battlefield” is defined as a battleground, an area where a battle is fought or where the ground is under a sphere of contention. For a dedicated PC gamer, this word means something else entirely.
Since it’s release in 2002, the Battlefield franchise has had significant growth since the very first offering: 1942. Most notably, in 2005, with the arrival of arguably the best Battlefield game in the franchise, Battlefield 2. BF2 as it is known by its aficionados, brought us the epic clash between US Marines, China and a fictional Middle Eastern Coalition. BF2 gave you your chance to fight with M1A2 Abrams tanks, TV Guided Missiles, APC's, heck, you could even fly fighter jets. For the grunts out there you could be a SpecOps, a Sniper and even an Anti-Tank specialist. Your soldier had a role to play in this game. BF2 also had the Squad leader or Commander feature which made team work paramount and required you to work as a cohesive squad if you wanted to capture areas within a map and hold them from the advancing opposing force.
This is what makes Battlefield standout against all other First Person Shooters and brings us the "true" definition of the word "Battlefield".
This fall EA launched the next phase in the Battlefield Franchise with the Open Beta of what is known as Battlefield Play4Free. You can sign up for P4F, right here: http://battlefield.play4free.com (http://battlefield.play4free.com/)
When you sign up you enter battle as a recruit and you can enjoy maps that are culled from previous BF games: Strike of Karkand, Gulf of Oman and much more.
But you might be asking yourself why should I play a free game, I just want to play Battlefield 3.
Patience, all good things will come to us and this game is not to be ignored, the Battlefield Free4Play is being developed by a separate team called Easy Studios, which also operates from the offices of EA/DICE in Sweden. As we wade through Battlefield 3 trailer's, it is worth your time to get a taste of how BF works...especially true for all the CoD-heads out there who have never played Battlefield.
P4F is funded by Battlefunds, which means that you have the option of purchasing improvements to your character by spending money on choosing the right weapon for the game, but this is purely optional as it is not a requirement to upgrade.
I have enjoyed playing the game through the closed Beta and now it is your chance to play it, so please post your comments on the HackReviews.com forums and tell us what you think of this game.
