Electronic Arts today announced that Battlefield Heroes has three million registered players, less than three months after announcing the title had two million players. Additionally, EA released a new map called “Sunset Showdown,” where both factions must fight to control a building on a hill.
“Battlefield Heroes continues to grow fast with well over 50,000 new players joining us every week. Our players have already logged in over 1,300 years worth of game time and nearly 300 million kills over 150 million five-minute game rounds,” said Ben Cousins, General Manager, Battlefield Heroes team. “The vast majority of our players play for free, but if they want to customize their character or enhance their game with weapon upgrades or ‘widgets’ then there is a cool item for them in our store.”
The Play 4 Free title has had to endure some upheaval from its community of late, due to the re-balance of Valor Points earned in-game and Battlefunds purchased with real money.
