More Maps!
Hello Heroes! Gamasutra published an interview with me this week in which I state we will have two maps available for the launch of Battlefield Heroes. This news has passed around the net a fair bit overnight, which is odd as James and I mentioned this in our very first interview in Games For Windows Magazine in January. Some people out there on the forums have jumped to some conclusions following this interview, so...
...let's just clear up a couple of things. Firstly, we have no plans for selling maps for Battlefield Heroes. Our game design and our business model is designed around the fact that 95% of the people playing the game never pay a penny. We want this to be the best free game experience online and we will be delighted for 95% of you to play the game for hundreds of hours, fully level up your character and enjoy a long expansive experience without spending any money at all, ever.
Secondly - we are launching with two maps, but we already have one other in development - we are playtesting it as we speak and it's great. Should be ready in the months, if not weeks, directly after launch. We have a full-time level designer assigned in the game's post-launch team to keep making new maps (if you want more that is, we can make vehicles or game modes if you want instead) and we will be polling the community to find out what type of content you want to play.
So, to re-iterate. We are launching with two maps, we have no plans to sell maps, and more maps will be available for free soon after launch.

This Game is gonna be so Good!!!
rawr me wan now,me excited too.i am so excited i cant wait for this gaem to launch.oh and when is summer??i live in a country where theres no summer,spring.etc.etc only months
Ótima estratégia! Poucos mapas mas bem pensados... Realmente na maioria dos jogos do genero as pessoas tendem a se concentrar nos 3 ou 4 melhores mapas.
Vejam CS ou Battlefield 2 por exemplo.
i cant freaky wiat to play the game i heard 7days form now????
cool!!!!!!!
SA-WEET!
Um, No.
"i live in a country where theres no summer,spring.etc.etc only months"

do this game with ranks
YAY the more the better
some guy on here said his dad is part of the team and i think he said it would come out about june 26! yes i do know that is the same date as bf: bc! and no i am not getting confused!
I think that selling maps, woud be a good idea, look at WarRock for example, you can do that kind of style, it's not limiting you to not be able to play it's just that you have to pay to be able to access certain things
Cant have a game without maps and sounds kick ass btw keep it up we all cant wait im sure
That's just not the concept of this game. This game is scheduled to be entirely free, and that you only play for tweaks to your account and stuff.. Nothing game related like paying to get access to boosterpacks and stuff like that.
summer starts around june.
I am curious about something...if anyone can help... plz do...
are the maps going to have water? if yes can we swim and ride water veicles?
do you get to host your own server or is like aeriagames?
who are the 5% of people who have to pay, it says 95% wont pay at all, hmmm, cant wait for it to come out though
More Maps FTW!
well go with a map with really good sniper areas and great tank battle areas
