Free is good. Along with the words sex, chocolate, and Eliza Dushku, the word free is almost always associated with something positive. Free beer, a month's free rent, and buy-one-get-one-free are all great. But of course there are times when getting something for free isn't such a sweet deal. Free haircuts, free lint, and free root canals are bad.

As a culture we tend to be suspicious of things that are free. We've all been burned by deals we knew were too good to be true and trusted anyway. This attitude affects us in all areas of our life and especially holds true for video games. In a world where collector's editions sell for more than $100, it's hard to believe some people hand out games for free. Admit it, if someone gave you a free copy of Madden 10 you'd probably think it was broken.
Free or Dead
This leads us to EA's Battlefield Heroes, a free third-person shooter for the PC. Since it's gratis, there must be something wrong with it, right? Wrong! While certainly not perfect, BH proves that there are still some things out there that are worthy of your time, even if you don't have to pay for them.
Initially gamers will look at Battlefield Heroes and see a World War II version of Team Fortress 2, but don't let their similarly cartoony appearance fool you. BH has much more in common with its recently released XBLA/PSN cousin, Battlefield 1943. Both are multiplayer only games, feature fun modified capture the flag action, and offer three classes of soldiers and four maps. These games are so similar you could easily call BH, Battlefield 1942 1/2 , but luckily this free PC model has many features that make it unique.

Wow man,you picked the wrong place to advertise this here. How much are you paying Gamepro to post this stuff? I can't wait to find out how many of the regulars on this site actually went to this site,so I can laugh at them lol.

due to the lack of support for BF2142 I do not play EA/Dice FPS games anymoar, not even if they are free. I used to love the battlefield series, but EA/Dice abandoned its PC Roots to become a console whore.
