A few days ago,
GOONL!NE found an interesting hiccup on Electronic Arts’ press Web site. The publisher listed free-to-play PC shooter
Battlefield Heroes as an Xbox 360 and PlayStation release. Rumors flew, but now their wings have been thoroughly obliterated by the game’s executive producer, Ben Cousins.
“Contrary to rumours spreading around the Internet in the weekend we have no plans to release Battlefield Heroes on either PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360,” Cousins recently told
VideoGamer.
Pretty cut and dry, really. If you’re an avid console MMO enthusiast, you should take note that according to
a previous rumor, Microsoft isn’t keen on a free-to-play model anyway. Don’t expect too bang for your Xbox LIVE buck.

It isn't an MMO. It's pretty much just BF2 but with character customization.
On a side note WTF is with the first post.
MMO stands for massively multiplayer online. Is it massively? Not much, but yea. Is it multiplayer? Yes, in fact it's multiplayer ONLY, is it online? Hell yes.
Is it an RPG? Oh hell no. But brad didn't say it's an MMORPG, he said it's an MMO. Most online games nowadays are considered MMO, especially if you can ONLY play them online and ONLY in multiplayer.
Hence it's not an MMO. You can't just ignore a word for the sake of argument.
