Go commando: EA/DICE's free-to-play Battlefield Heroes goes live
So, if you've been wondering why all the internet emergency lights were flashing this morning to notify you that EA and DICE's free-to-play, microtransaction supported debut Battlefield Heroes had stealthily just gone live, and yet you still couldn't find anything but a broken beta sign-up page, it's because the battlefield-heroes.com and battlefieldheroes.com are apparently entirely disconnected.
So, yes, BattlefieldHeroesMinusTheDash is actually live, though not even the game's twitter feed seems to be aware of it, and there is probably no better way you could spend the rest of your day than exploring its light-hearted (as above), entirely accessible brand of arcade shooting, as we finally return to the fields and see how it's shaped up since early beta days.

Welp, there goes the weekend.
But yeah, that was a rather unceremonial release. I swear I was signed up for the newsletter when the project was first announced but I never heard a peep. Oh well, heres to hoping I can finally stop playing BF:1942 and play this instead!

One caviat; Battlefield Heroes is using Punkbuster, which doesn't always play nice with Vista or Windows 7.
