Battlefield Heroes celebrates first birthday with free in-game items

Wow, has it already been a year since DICE's freemium version of its popular Battlefield FPS series, Battlefield Heroes, launched on the PC? Sure enough, that's the case and EA is looking to celebrate by hooking up players with a free $5 voucher for use in-game, which can be redeemed here to unlock a two-day XP boost, a two-day VP boost and 25 bandages. You'll have to act fast, as the code below is only valid until tomorrow:

49TP-ZJB7-NVTR-P8AE

Other than free in-game items, EA also offers some stats on the first year of the game. Turns out, more than 4.8 million players have registered for play and the community as a whole has managed to commit 1.2 billion heinous murders in a total of 29 million hours of gameplay -- equal to 3,724 years, you monsters.

I consider mysel a hardcore gamer, but my pc cant event run this game..

I really need an upgrade.

@pButter If your serious, I think you need more then a simple upgrade. Heck my 8 year old PC was able to run it. Either way you can get a pretty solid machine for a budget build these days.
