EA Games have revealed their plans for Battlefield Heroes, a cartoon shooter with Battlefield style gameplay, which will be completely free to download and play later this year. >

The Team Fortress-esque cartoon style of the game will lend itself toward quick and easy access for a mass audience. A built in matchmaking system will ensure the fairest experience possible when dealing with such large numbers.

It’s one of those rarer occassions where we can congratulate EA Games on giving gamers what they want, at a reasonable price. We’ll pay good money for a game with a bit of depth, but if we’re after some quick fun, its still pretty unreasonable to fork over a few bucks. By revenue earned through advertising and microtransactions, EA are able to distribute this game to everyone, which is a win-win situation for all.

Battlefield Heroes will be hitting the web for PC downloads in summer 2008.
