With Battlefield Heroes, EA and dice have shown that the battlefield theme as client game with Browseranbindung works well. The game already has over 7 million registrations. But doesnt this if it now grabs the predecessor of Battlefield 2 in the browser? We tried battlefield Play4Free for several months in beta - and are disappointed. In the PC Games Preview, you will learn what bothers most.
Battlefield Play4Free is similar to Battlefield Heroes, a client game with browser connection. No-download also this shooter comes not from. Battlefield 2 is a classic and has together with counter-strike even modern games such as battlefield: bad company 2 or call of duty: black ops survived. Even today enjoy the shooter's multiplayer popular servers. After Battlefield Heroes successfully has been established in the network as a free client game dice dare now to detoxify the multiplayer giant battlefield 2 and also free. But: While Heroes is fun gun battles in the comic book style and so that brings a little liveliness in the otherwise drab Shooteralltag, makes battlefield Play4Free full on serious: graphical it adheres to the now six-year-old game and served even on the cards. So far there are only two beta in the closed: Oman and strike at Karkand.
Just like heroes, the game relies on fixed characters who drop in their level. While the character device you can set appearance and class and - other than in the full price games - no longer change! It is possible to create multiple characters, so that, for example, each has a medic, engineer, sniper, soldier, whose skills at the same time aufzuleveln is but difficult.
Currently, team play is in short supply. Currently, there is no squads or a commander. There is chaos on the battlefield. Battlefield 2 minus teamplay minus Commander
Although we noted Battlefield 2 as a model for battlefield Play4Free, unfortunately have been the core elements of the game of the scissors to the victims. The team play including, for example, is that there is still no squads and overall, the automatic server discovery not for clan is intended. Most one but we miss the ingenious Commander mode, which has made Battlefield 2 to a tactical highlight: A player took the role of Commander in and could commands give the players in squads, support packages send them, opponents with drones and satellite spy and finally fire mortar strikes. Instead of co-ordinated approach, previous matches looks rather out of control and headless: race to the start and all players (who know the map) to the corresponding first two flags and provide itself with the enemies then a back and forth. Vehicles (tanks, APCs and jeeps on the Karkhand, Blackhawks, Appaches, jets, boats, jeeps and APCs on Oman) are rarely used: frequently spawn players automatically "on the front" and get out of the vehicles in the main base with nothing.
By the fact that a player also no longer can, change the class without having to log off, the title loses another key element: the momentum! Watching it has made so great battlefield. It had to be just not from the front come in or for the purchase of arms to something set, but could react in the event of a kills by a tank, and select the engineer. You have the bad luck at a base of a tank to be shot at, can you not help, but help to his partner put on but, - due to lack of team play features rarely out. A vicious circle.
Graphic of yesterday
Graphically also Battlefield 2 today can pull out no trees, the engine for the SiteKiosk scaled so is not so promising. Textures are muddy, look and feel to Karkand very sad. It outweigh maue, brown colors, total players and vehicles are very old-fashioned and angular. Battlefield Play4Free, a unique feature, such as about the look or the Battlefield Heroes, humor is missing completely.
As the name suggests, battlefield Play4Free is free of charge. In the game, you collect XP and credits, with which one rises and free e-mail new weapons or items and "can hire them". Who invested real money in Battlefunds, can also buy weapons and items or obtain just faster. At least you need buy no new Battlefunds for the current title: who's still which to his heroes account, is can be used in the final version in battlefield Play4Free.

battlefield Play4Free is free of charge. But no fun gun.Battlefield Play4Free is quite unsightly, technically obsolete and been reduced to the coolest and most interesting features of Battlefield 2. Teamplay is available in the current beta version as well as none, the Games take place rather head and haphazardly, without to follow an apparent tactic. The Commander was abolished completely. To do this is that you can no longer change the class of his character in the game, but each must create a new character. Thus, the momentum is lost. Unlike Battlefield Heroes, battlefield Play4Free has also not humorous tips and a unique comic book look, which makes it special. What remains is a less interesting shooter, which is at least free of charge but in its basic functions.
