There is plenty of room in our gaming lives for more Battlefield 3, more Bad Company and many more military first-person shooters from EA, the giant game publisher’s number two boss told Kotaku this week.
Ahem. Well, back in July, we were introduced to Final Combat, China’s homage to ripoff of Team Fortress 2. The game won’t have a Western release, but for any Chinese who managed to defeat the Baidu censorship and learn of the game’s true origins, we have Troy Horton, formerly of the Tomb Raider series, to vouch for its originality.
I will play any game that pits the forces of magic against (relatively) modern military forces. Battlefield Heroes gets wizards today. I approve.
Chinese shooter Final Combat, an unsubtle, shameless swipe of two other free-to-play games – Valve’s Team Fortress 2 and EA’s Battlefield Heroes – has a new playable class it would like to introduce: the Sniper. The sexy, short-skirted, probably-does-not-urinate-in-jars Sniper.
So Final Combat, China’s seemingly shameless rip-off of Team Fortress 2, isn’t as shameless as we first thought. I mean, it’s not entirely lifting content from Valve’s shooter. It’s lifting it from EA’s Battlefield Heroes as well!
EA’s free-to-play online Battlefield Heroes game is filled with players running about in ridiculous outfits they’ve cobbled together out of scraps. Nothing a healthy injection of Dead Space 2 shouldn’t cure.

It’s December! And the holiday season is kicking into high gear, and Battlefield Heroes is getting all festive.
