An amusing first trailer was released for the PC game Battlefield Heroes today. The game is coming out of EA-owned, Swedish developer Digital Illusion Interactive Entertainment (DICE).

Think Battlefield 1942 crossed with Team Fortress, with a casual-gamer twist. The game is going to be free to download and play (nice touch having Pirate Bay in the trailer!), and will generate income through micro-transactions (presumably for better equipment) and advertising. Looks like you'll be able to use vehicles, and that you'll have a persistent character that you can use, and customize.

The game is coming out sometime in the summer.
