Battlefield Play4Free

Battlefield Play4Free is a free to play first person shooter and is the tenth game in the Battlefield series. It uses the Refractor 2 Engine used in Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142, supporting up to 32 players online in large-scale battles featuring jets, helicopters, and tanks. Battlefield Play4Free went into a closed beta on November 30, 2010, and went in to open beta on April 4, 2011. Battlefield Veteran players were granted access to the open beta four days early on March 31, 2011. Facebook and Twitter fans were granted early access on April 2.

Setting
Battlefield Play4Free takes place in a contemporary modern warfare setting, during a fictional war between the United States and Russia in war zones originally featured in Battlefield 2.

Gameplay
Battlefield Play4Free features only an online mode similar to Battlefield Heroes, albeit much more resembling Battlefield 2. Up to 32 players can simultaneously battle in maps from Battlefield 2 such as Strike at Karkand, Gulf of Oman, Sharqi Peninsula, Dragon Valley, and Basra in a modified version of the classic Conquest game mode named Assault, using weapons, vehicles, and equipment from both Battlefield 2 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The launch trailer, featured below, also shows off Operation Road Rage as a playable map, but it is not included as of yet.

There are four kits featured in the game, much like in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. These are the Assault, Medic, Engineer, and Recon kits. Each has its own specific weapons and gadgets it may use to contribute to the team effort, but every class may acquire a shotgun, similar to Bad Company 2.

Since Battlefield Play4free is developed by Easy Studios, the same developers of Battlefield Heroes, it uses a similar system of player customization. Players may acquire these customizations through Battlefunds and can own them temporarily or permanently, depending on the quantity spent.

Battlefunds can be used interchangeably in both Play4Free and Heroes. Clothing customizations have purely aesthetic effect and have no impact on gameplay whatsoever. However, as in Battlefield Heroes, Battlefield Play4Free has Battlefunds weapons available in an ingame store, which feature higher statistics over those the player can earn for free.

Stat Tracking
Like in Battlefield Heroes stats tracking services are now available for players to view their overall performance on the field, such as kill death ratio, gun accuracy, win lose ratio and more.

Training
Everytime you level up you unlock a training point which you can use to unlock special abilities. You can use this to unlock special weapons or gadgets. There are 3 tiers of abilities you can unlock. To unlock a tier, you must buy a certian amount of abilities from the previous tier.

Soundtrack
Music for Battlefield Play4Free was provided by the Swedish metal band Corroded. After large amounts of requests from the community for a full version of the song featured in the teaser trailer, Easy Studios collaborated with Corroded to release the full version of the song, titled "Age of Rage". The song is currently available for purchase on iTunes.
