EA’s free-to-play third person shooter has hit a milestone amongst some controversy. EA and DICE announced that they have hit over 3m players that have signed up to play Battlefield Heroes.

“Battlefield Heroes continues to grow fast with well over 50,000 new players joining us every week,” Battelfield Heroes’ general manager Ben Cousins stated.

The title has had some controversy as they tweak the gameplay to test microtransactions. At the Spike VGAs we spoke with Gordan Van Dyke about all things Battlefield. Look for that video to be up late this weekend or early next week.
