There is currently in Open Beta a new version of Battlefield known as Battlefield4Free, an online game that uses many of the same mechanics as the well known Battlefield Series. The game is free, and allows you to customize your character via earning in game currency, in much the same way that Black Ops uses its money. Money is earned by playing the game it would normally be played, and the money allows you to "rent" different guns for your classes. However, the best guns can only be purchased with real money (BattleFunds), and many of the customization options are also limited to Battlefunds as well.
However, all previous complaints have been overshadowed monumentally by the next two: you can't switch classes during a game; only during the interim between matches, and you can only have two different classes out of the four ( Medic, Engineer, Assault, Scout). The only way to purchase new slots is with real money. The real kicker? You can't delete character slots. Once you pick a character you are stuck with that class. While the concept is promising, the current implementation for this new twist on an old franchise leaves much to be desired.
