Battlefield Heroes celebrates its third birthday with new "Fortress Frenzy" map

Today, Battlefield Heroes, the hit free-to-play cartoon shooter, is turning three-years-old. To thank the game’s 12 million-plus loyal fans worldwide, EA is releasing new content, enhancing game features and giving away exclusive, free items to all players.

The brand-new map, “Fortress Frenzy,” will have players fighting for victory on a small island, where the only way on or off is over six bridges located on each side of the isle. Battlefield Heroes is also expanding their mission system with more opportunities to earn Valor Points and Experience Points as well as introducing the Treasure Chest to give players special rewards that appear at random upon killing an enemy.

Also players who log in between June 25th, 2012 and July 1st, 2012 will receive two free Party Packs: one Royal and one National. Each Party Pack will include a Battlefield Heroes Birthday Shirt, a Tricycle Emote that lasts for 3-days and a new Treasure Chest Key. To claim the free Party Packs, players can log in at battlefieldheroes.com then look in the “My Stuff” menu and select “Rewards.”
