Play Battlefield for FREE Now

Not that this can quench your thirst for Battlefield 3 but EA have released Battlefield Play4Free exclusively on the PC today. As the name suggests, the game is free but obviously micro-transactions will cost you real world money. If that sort of thing floats your boat, head right here to sign up and begin the download.

Wait for me

Battlefield Play4Free delivers an endlessly entertaining experience on the PC that combines the most popular maps from Battlefield 2 with the popular classes and powerful weapons of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, all rendered with stunning visuals. Battlefield Play4Free raises the bar in the free-to-play space even further with 16 different vehicles including the Mil Mi-28 attack helicopter, its nemesis the F35 VTOL jet fighter, the massive Russian T-90 main battle tank, and the hard to catch LSV light strike vehicle.

If you do plan on downloading the game, here’s what you’ll require under the hood to run this game:

• Operating system: Windows XP or Windows Vista
• CPU: Intel Pentium 4 1.7 GHz
• RAM: 512 MB (1 GB on Windows Vista)
• Video card: 256 MB, Pixel shader 2.0, DirectX 9.0c
• Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible
• Hard Drive space: 1 GB
