Supposedly to be released mid year of 2008. It is now delayed and pushed back to 2009. Oh well I would rather wait than to pay.

About the game:

Heroes will be the first Battlefield game to be released under Electronic Arts' new "Play 4 Free" model, which will see the game released for free with revenue generated from advertising and micropayments. Advertisements will appear on the website and the 'front-end' of the game although none will appear in-game, while micropayments may be made for additional items to customize the appearance of players' avatars without any gaming advantage. The game is said to be placing less emphasis on skill and strategy, and will be less demanding on computer specifications than the previous games of the series to increase the audience base. In addition, a system will be in place to match players of similar skill levels together for fair play.

Reason for the Delay:

On July 29, 2008, it was announced that Battlefield Heroes will be delayed until sometime 2009. EA CEO John Riccitiello stated that they are going "to increase its focus on some of the social networking features".
