This is a shame, they have taken a model that could have easily made a good few bucks and instead alienated their player-base so as to not get much from anyone at all.

Er....so quit. Play another game that is free that you aren't paying to develop, patch, run servers, create content, maintain bandwidth. 1st law of economics....no such thing as a free lunch.

You and your friends go grab some toy guns at the $.99, spray paint them any way you want, make up your own back stories, powers, and costumes and tear the crap out of your mum's backyard. It'll be more realistic, you'll get exercise, and you can create any uber weapon you want and keep it for as long as you want you whiny cheapskates.

Me, I'm already donning my cardboard reinforced, tin foiled covered mech suit with high velocity nerf bullets for you oncoming flames...Oh, and it was all free.
Not staying inside playing videogames that depict such things, but using your imagination. I... am.... enlightened....

Its like EA is afraid of success or something.

Lackey: Sir, it seems Battlefield: Heroes is doing very well. We are making a decent profit from it, and if we continue to make the game accessible and fun we can attract players to the Battlefield franchise, especially after the Modern Warfare 2 outrage.

CEO: I think we should shoot our prices up, and for those cheap bastards who don't want to pay, we make them have to play so much to earn point that they eventually WILL pay.

Lackey: Uhh...actually sir most people would just get mad and quit Battlefield: Heroes all-together.

CEO: Nonsense! Now fire up my private jet, I have 5 Playboy Playmates waiting for me at my mansion in the Caribbean.

I was wondering when EA would do something to once again earn my loathing - lately Activision has been outdoing themselves with the jackass moves, so much so that EA was actually looking good by comparison. It was a profoundly disturbing thought - EA being terrible is practically a universal law like gravity, so it's kind of comforting in a way to know that EA is still just as bad as ever!

If anything, I was wondering when they would start charging for this game. I think its great and wondered how something like this with great production into it could go for free.

And now they ask that theres going to be a payment for it?
Why is this really a bad thing? Means more revenue into the game itself, and does not seem like it would be much or an ongoing payment system- and honestly from what I have played already, this is a game that I already would have expected to pay for- and would.

Surprise surprise.
The game wasn't good enough to keep me interested anyway. You're far better off spending twenty bucks on Team Fortress 2 with the promise of limitless free updates and no goddamn microtransactions. And a better game.

FFS EA, I thought you had changed? Your just the same money grabbing pimp you always were.

*begins to cry because he suspects TOR will be micro transaction based*

It's comforting to see EA in their old bad habits. ^_^ (i.e. try to rip you off like crazy) Some things just never change.

Technically, if you're willing to dumpster dive or take way the expired food from supermarkets, yes, there is.

Sad, sounds from the article like they were making a decent profit off the game before this. If you have more subscribers/customers and they feel like the game is a bargain they will be more likely to buy some silly novelty items with their money-such as that horse armor promotion for the Elder Scrolls IV. The only advantage this game has is that it's free-it's certainly not superior to Team Fortress or any other multiplayer FPS.

I gave up on this game the moment I saw EA was going to get involved. Poor developers, to have their little project torn to hated shreds like this.

I used to play this game. Stopped once this was out. I loved this game so much and I bought 20? of battlefunds just to support EA for doing something good for once but it looks like I was wrong.

I hate EA so much.

The great thing about this is, they managed to piss off all the paying customers too. A few months back they sold re-skinned weapons that just looked cooler. The new "uber" weapons (which give an unfair advantage which almost everyone who isn't a c**t, hates) directly replace the re-skinned weapons, making them worthless.

Oh well. It just helped to remind me that TF2 is a much, much better game.

lolz Just stop playing this silly flash game and buy an actual game! if you have a weak system i would advise you pick up a cheap casual game (recommend Plants vs. Zombies or the loot friendly Torchlight) that will hold you over till you find some other thing to occupy your time, like reading a book. Or if you have a strong system, play something else... for god sake its a stupid flash game (admittedly quite fun)

Kodos to EA for shooting themselves in the foot.

As for the Boycott comment, i resent that! I for one still isn't buying the PC version! though i'm probably gonna get a PS3 version along with my mouse controller \o/
