Yeah I'm a BF freak from the 1942/Vietnam days and can't wait to give Heroes a spin. Just for the occasional killing spree more than anything else.

Balancing Dayjob/freelancing really puts the brakes on gaming.

America's Army online is a good free shooter, not your average shooter this ain't no BF or Quake more of a realism shooter. But its worth a shot over 600 thousand members world wide, lots of maps to choose from. lvl from 1 to 100, have to do the army training (the medic training drove me nuts )before you can even begin although now you can jump into a game without the training but you wont have any abilities like special forces weapons / or if you want to be a medic etc., Great game if you can stick to it, plenty of Aussies & kiwis players. Favorite maps for me Bridge crossing, Pipeline & insurgent camp.

I'm about to jump into a match now :)

BattleForge is now Play4Free. [link]

I can't comment on it though. It's nearly 3GB DL however.

My two favourite free games...    

http://www.worldofpadman.com

World Of Padman
- (Linux, Windows, Mac) WOP is a new and free comic style game that uses the Quake 3 engine. This game features full bot support for all game types. All you off-line gamers out there will be happy to play Spray your Colour, Big Balloon and Last Pad Standing with bots. The bots play very well, and most maps have been optimised for good bot play. They included all engines to all installers, so you don´t need to download WoP multiple times if you have more than one OS running, but the installer for your preferred OS - look for the engines in the XTRAS/engines folder. 

http://www.secretmaryo.org

Secret Maryo Chronicles - (Linux, Windows) Secret Maryo Chronicles (SMC) is an open source two-dimensional platform game with a style designed similar to classic sidescroller games. Gorgeous graphics and interesting levels make for a refreshing take on Super Mario. SMC comes with an in-game editor - activated with the F8 key in the game. You can insert enemies, change the player start position on the level, insert active Sprites, and create half-massive Sprites which the Player can jump through, but can not fall through, etc. and more. The Powerup collections are where you begin to beat levels. Go to the site (linked above) to learn more about various graphics, sprites, and change player starting positions along with various levels and worlds. Although this is a simple game, the Powerup layers make SMC complex and fun.
