Battlefield Heroes Delayed.

The upcoming cartoon style free-to-play World War II game Battlefield Heroes (that's a mouthful) has been delayed until the end of the year. It was supposed to come out this Summer but EA has stated that the delay is due to the addition of new "social networking features".

It's probably for the best as Summer is obviously a dry time for games. Since the game is aimed at the more casual gamer it makes complete sense that these people are out enjoying the sun rather than staying in their bedrooms like the rest of us nerds.

I'm looking forward to this as I never really was a hardcore Battlefield fan (I started out on Battlefield 2 but didn't play too much. I ended up putting more hours into Battlefield 2142), but I'm always looking for something simple - and fun! - to play when I can't be bothered firing anything else up.
