PC - Battlefield Heroes - Battlefield Heroes will be available outside of US & Europe

One quick 'rumor squashing' comment from the Battlefield Heroes blog:

"A few news sites seem to be reporting that Battlefield Heroes will not be available in Australia. This is most certainly not the case. Battlefield Heroes is available as a free download from the web, and as such would probably be available even if you connect to the internet via a satellite dish from a small unheated hut on the steppes of Uzbekistan."

PC - Battlefield Heroes - Battlefield Heroes Not Available Outside Of US and Europe

Battlefield: Heroes - Free, Online - The Future?

PC News from N4G | Battlefield Heroes

PC - Battlefield Heroes - Battlefield: Heroes - Free, Online - The Future?

Electronic Arts are nearly ready to unleash their Western foray into a revitalised and radical business model. This summer Battlefield: Heroes will be free and only downloadable from the internet.

In a venture hoping to bring in both gamers who are deferred by Battlefield's steep learning curve and those not willing to shell out £40 at every new release, Battlefield: Heroes has a broad visual appeal (akin to Team Fortress 2, but we'll let them off in sake of progress), 15 minute matches and hopes to strip the game of its frenetic confusion and brick-wall difficulty.
