Apparently, EA are releasing this Pixar-inspired WW2 shooter, free, in the summer of 2008. That's right folks, free!

Someone grab that issue in early February and tell us all about it!

:huh: Interesting. I expect a heavy use of in-game ads.

I thought this was a joke when I first saw this.

Here's a bit more on this. As I suspected: in-game ads:

...that EA plans to generate revenue with using in-game advertising and microtransactions.

By "microtransactions" is suppose they mean that you have to buy those upgrades that you can get in BF2/BF2142 by gaining experience....

I was under the impression that not many people "like" WW2.

I don't see the appeal, myself.
