Haven't seen this posted so I thought I'd share. EA/DICE are coming out with a new Battlefield game that will be free to play. It is using Team Fortress 2's cartoon style graphics and can run on a rig as low as 1GHz CPU, 512 RAM, w/ a 64mb Video Card. It'll be advertisement driven. Instead of a low amount of health, you'll have a high amount of health. There's also a shorter spawn time. It seems they also are copying Call of Duty 4 with a new abilities system, which will let you use a special ability of your choice with many of them being unlocked as you keep playing.

No more Conquest mode either. Instead there's a similar game mode. Each side gets a set limit of lives, and capturing control points increases the total number of lives you take for every kill. To defend themselves from the "You ripped off Team Fortress" argument, they said this idea dates back to Battlefield 1942.

Other notes:

- Smaller Maps

- Intelligent Auto-Spawn Selection

- Planes will be slow, and every weapon will deal damage to them.

- No more prone. Crouching doesn't increase accuracy.

- You can choose to spend money if you wish to level up quicker.

- Free-to-play player and Cash players are equal.

- Game is played entirely in third person. If enough people complain, they'll add a first-person mode.

Ah, I'm sorry. I figured this would be atleast somewhat new considering it's an exclusive in March 08's Games for Windows magazine. I've never seen it posted despite me eagle-eyeing the PC forums. Well, atleast I hope someone else who hasn't seen it yet will get the news.

Yeah I heard about this a long time ago :P +1 for effort though man ;)

Anyway, I was reading the GFW article, and interestingly enough, DICE claims that they thought of the "cartoon" art style before Valve unveiled the new Team Fortress 2 look!

EDIT: Oh whoops. You already covered that in you OP :lol:

Cool, thanks for posting it, I didn't know about it at all. Thanks for making everyone read it twice so I can read it for the first time :P Sounds like it's gonna be really cool, if it lives up to that.

News to me - but better having this posted twice than have another oblivion vs morrowind bloody thread.

Sounds awesome - seems like they could actually make Battlefield fun to play (ouch!)

This is new info, but Battlefield Heroes was revealed a few weeks ago.

I don't know how I feel about this game. I always liked the more realistic graphics used in the past two games. This will be kinda like how they f-d up Zelda by making Windwaker cell-shaded.

But oh well, if the gameplay can make up for it, I'm game.
