Battlefield Heroes introduces Capture the Flag mode
If you have spent any time over the past 15 years or so gaming on a PC, you more than likely have played your fair share of Capture the Flag game types. EA has just announced the addition of Capture the Flag to Battlefield Heroes, and has shared a trailer to help spread the word. Battlefield Heroes is a free-to-play, browser-based third-person shooter where players take on the role of either a strong jawed Royal or the high-cheek boned National. The game has been running since 2009 and has seen more than 7 million users sign up to this never ending war, along with tons of additional content in the forms of new maps game types and costumes. I tried Battlefield Heroes a while ago, and for what it is, it is still a solid third-person shooter. It's a quick jump-in jump-out action title that can be played on almost PC, so long as you have a compatible browser. If you were looking to get your quick fix for a Capture the Flag game, you may want to check out Battlefield Heroes new content. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I've tried this game a few times but i dont like the way all cosmetic things and most new weaponry/buffs etc. all cost real cash. I know its free to play and they gotta make ther money somewhere but they could atleast let us get them from random drops in game, or from doing a set number of matches or something. They should do a XBLA version. 1200 points. Everything included. Job done. People still play this game? I'm stunned. I thought most people would be playing Battlefield Play 4 Free instead. 2:30 PM on 05.23.2013 Mech game Heavy Gear Assault gets a KickstarterDeveloper Stompy Bot Productions has launched a Kickstarter for a new mech game called Heavy Gear Assault, based on the popular Heavy Gear franchise.
