Battlefield Play4Free

Battlefield Play4Free is a first-person shooter developed by EA and Easy Studios. Based on the Battlefield series, the game features a modern warfare setting. Play4Free is built on a modified version of Battlefield 2's engine,[2] with improvements such as high resolution artwork and post-processing effects. The game is also less demanding on computer specifications, similar to Battlefield Heroes.[3]
As the game’s title suggests, the game is available to players for free online, under Electronic Arts' "Play 4 Free" model. Play4Free uses a similar micro-payments store system as Heroes. It was announced on November 5, 2010. The game is currently in open beta testing phase, which began on April 4th.[4][5] Closed beta codes originally started being distributed via email on March 17, 2011.

Gameplay

Battlefield Play4Free includes contents from both Battlefield 2 as well as Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The game has a leveling system, in-game shop and gameplay customization, similar to Battlefield Heroes.[6] The game supports up to 32-player battles. Players are chosen to play as Russia or the United States.[7]
Customization features at the start of registration include skin, hair color, hairstyle, and facial hair features.
Maps included in Battlefield Play4Free are essentially updates of classics seen in Battlefield 2, such as Strike at Karkand and Gulf of Oman.[8] Players will have access to up to 16 vehicles, such as helicopters, fighter jets and tanks, varying from map to map.[9] The upgraded Oman map from Battlefield 2 was launched on January 29, 2011.[10] Sharqi Peninsula was released on April 4th when the game launched into open beta. Various game elements such as motion blur and a gameplay style upgrade were added due to the new modified Refractor engine.
Classes

Like previous Battlefield games, Battlefield Play4Free has a class system, which includes Assault, Medic, Engineer and Recon. Assault kits include an assault rifle and the ability to resupply teammates with ammo. The Medic class is armed with a light machine gun and is able to heal teammates. Engineers are equipped with an RPG and submachine gun while being able to use their repair tool to fix vehicles. Recon kits utilize a sniper rifle and can use a motion sensor used to show enemy locations to themselves or their teammates on the mini-map.
Similar to Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the ability to wield shotguns and tracer dart guns is not class-specific.
