    if they all run as a single community this is a good thing. if it's free on XBL i'll definitely get it. if not, i'll just stick to PC.

    I could very much see this happening.

    Considering the game is free they make their money by making you purchase "certain things" in the game, I don't know if I'm allowed to say more but meh. So yeah by porting to XBL and PSN it would only increase their chances of making some profit.

    Plus from my experience this game would work brilliantly as a download on XBL and PSN.

    It's all opinion based, I tried the Beta (I got in), and it didn't appeal to me. I MUCH preferred Bad Company.

    Sure, it's free and all, but meh. If I don't like it, I don't like it.

    Still, it'd be a good idea, so long as it was still free, and maybe people could use PS$ and MS points to buy items.

        lol well technically the PS3 and 360 are getting Battlefield Heroes, it's just in the form of Battlefield 1943. PC gets the fun and chaotic cartoon shooter, consoles get the more graphic whored and realistic one

          its online-multiplayer-only, like BFH, but i haven't read anywhere that it's free.

          Basically it works like this.

          Battlefield: Bad Company was console only and a massive hit, so Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is getting a multi-platform release.

          The same is happening with 1943 but vice-versa, 1942 being successful on the PC and now being turned into multi-platform

          Both will use the frostbite engine (used in BF:BC) and will have the standard retail price as normal.

          Battlefield: Heroes on the other hand is a new territory for EA/DICE and gamers really. Although the idea has been done already (Combat Arms etc.) it hasn't really been done by such a huge, successful and well known company (or at least not to my knowledge and disregarding Quake Live which surfaced several months after BFH)

          It will always stay on the PC since it is just easier to maintain everything, hell they won't even allow the game to be downloaded from Steam since it is just easier for everyone to goto the site and download it once it is released
