Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Battlefield series's best-known location, Wake Island, has now become part of the free-to-play Battlefield Heroes.
Colorful characters give the level a look of its own, coupled with a few tweaks to give it a feel more suited to the Heroes game. Renamed Wicked Wake, it's a more compact version of the horseshoe-shaped layout with a higher ratio of available vehicles per player.
Pushing Battlefield Heroes, with its light-hearted cartoon feel, could help EA stay in step with developments over at Valve Software, which recently released Team Fortress 2 as a free-to-play game via its Steam Network.
Both games are class-based shooters with an emphasis on accessibility and teamwork, though Battlefield Heroes opts for a third-person view while TF2 retains a more familiar first-person perspective.
