Line 4: [[Dissimile\|Now throw that mental image right out the nearest window]], because this is a bit... [[Lighter and Softer\|sillier.]] A (mostly) free-to-play [[Third-Person Shooter]] of the ''Battlefield'' series which iswas started up from your Web browser [https://web.archive.org/web/20100510123738/http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/ here]... which already ~~makes~~made it different from the original series. [[Allegedly Free Game\|It ~~does~~did have]] [[Revenue Enhancing Devices\|Battlefunds]], in-game money bought with real money, to generate profit. It's was a multiplayer-only game. ''Battlefield Heroes'' ~~uses~~used a [[World War II]]-esque aesthetic, [[Cel Shading\|then ~~dances~~danced away from it with the Rule Of Fun]]. Shut down on 14 July 2015. {{tropelist}} * [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of old gun-ho-hurray WWII movies and the [[Theme Park Version]] of WWII in general. Expect quite a few hidden [[Shout-Out\|Shout Outs]]... ** Generally, the Not-EA Hero Clothing of-the-Day is visibly based off a recent movie. Take the Summer of Heroes campaign, for instance. The Wizards come from ''[[Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Deathly Hallows]] - Part 2]]'', the Barbarians come from ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'', the Superheroes come from ''[[Captain America: The First ~~(comics)~~Avenger]]'' and ''[[X-Men: ~~First Class\|X Men~~ First Class]]'', and the Pirates come from ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: On Stranger Tides''. * [[Alliterative Name]]: Every map is named in this way. ** Certain weapons (i.e., virtually all of them save the Modern ones) are, too. For instance, [[More Dakka\|Rudolf's Rescue, Tommy's Typewriter]]. One of the ''very'' few exceptions is the Royal Knife, which they clearly couldn't think of anything for. The National counterpart, Konrad's Knife, is a bit of a stretch, too. Line 44 ⟶ 45: * [[Grenade Launcher]]: Available to all classes after the Punk Heroes update. It's mostly used for long-range covering fire, being almost completely useless in close range encounters. * [[Hurricane of Puns]] / [[Just for Pun]] * [[Historical In-Joke]]: The [https://web.archive.org/web/20100528071948/http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=88561 'Winter Armistice'] is a clear one to the [[wikipedia:Christmas truce\|Christmas Truce.]] * [[In Name Only]]: Debatable... the game goes have rather different gameplay from the the original series, but retains some elements. [https://web.archive.org/web/20100409075649/http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=107500~~&page=8~~#pid1451652 The game also isn't headed by DICE, either]. * [[Lean and Mean]]: While not actually evil or villains of the game, the Nationals' characters are sharp and thin - to contrast, the Royals are more rounded, muscular and larger. * [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20100328044756/http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=82163 'The Ballad of The Dedicated Servers'] explicitly use the term [[wikipedia:Game server#Dedicated game server\|dedicated server]], while, per the trope, not [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]. It also mentions [[Call of Duty\|"Is this the modern way of making warfare?"]]. * [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]]: Of a sorts. Weapons and clothing themed from ''[[Battlefield: Bad Company]] 2'' have been released. * [[Military Maverick]]: The description of the Royal "Leet Hero" set spells it out quite nicely. Line 81 ⟶ 82: * [[Spiritual Successor]]: [[Battlefield Play4Free]], which is an updated version of Battlefield 2 with elements of Heroes and Bad Company 2. It's considerably less humorous than Heroes, but incorporates many of the same elements. * [[Stop Being Stereotypical]] : [[Averted Trope\|Averted]], but [[Justified Trope\|justified]], since it's all [[Played for Laughs]]. Seriously, "Corporal Tommy Chester" ? "Kommandant Heinrich von Schnitzel" ? * [[Take That]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20100328044756/http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=82163 'The Ballad of The Dedicated Servers'] asks of [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall\|"phasing out dedicated servers"]] - [[Modern Warfare\|"Is this the modern way of making warfare?"]]. (If you want to know, the developpers made their stance [https://web.archive.org/web/20140131103726/http://www.strategyinformer.com/news/5862/dice-dedicated-servers-ftw-they-give-better-online-playtime pretty clear] before taking that.) * [[War Has Never Been So Much Fun]]: The game has generally bright environments, looks cel-shaded and has soldiers which hop around firing weapons with silly names, making muffled noises and exaggerated expressions while potentially dressed like werewolves, ninjas, zombies, paratroopers, something like Michael Jackson in a music video of his, knights, or [[Ninja Pirate Robot Zombie\|everything in between]]. * [[Gray and Gray Morality\|White And White Morality]]: Neither faction actually seems to be bad. Nationals are generally more sinister in appearance, but that's about it.
