Battlefield Heroes is a cartoon-style shooter from the people behind the Battlefield series, and will be a Play 4 Free game when it launches in Summer of ’08.
Though to me it looks like a simple version of The Orange Box’s Team Fortress 2 (Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, since any game that achieves even 50% of TF2’s awesomeness is still going to be awesome.) Battlefield Heroes has some definite possibility, and it’s always hard to be the price of free.

Valve is on top of the gaming world right now, and their Steam system is a great way to get new games.
If you’ve been holding off on getting yourself The Orange Box (and if you have a PC, you NEED this set of games), or any of the other titles in Valve’s repertoire (BioShock, Call of Duty, Quake, etc.) then be sure to check out their first-ever Steam storewide sale.
Every game in every genre from every developer and publisher on Steam is now on sale, and you can save 10-50% through January 1st. Plus, if you’re trying to make up for a poorly chosen gift, they also allow you to give the gift of game to friends and family through the Steam system.

Buyers of Valve’s The Orange Box quickly discovered that Team Fortress 2 is one of the best multiplayer games out right now.
Using class-based warfare, players assume a role that they must follow until they die. If they want to be a medic, they must spend their time healing other players. If they want to be a pyro, they’re armed with a flamethrower and they must spend their time burning everything in sight.
Though it makes for great gameplay, it does bring up one question: Why is the only black character in the game a grenade launching drunkard?
Games aren’t necessarily known for their racial sensitivity, but this seems to go a bit beyond mere oversight.
What do you think? Was the black player’s role intentional, or did someone just press the black button at the wrong time?
