Now we know what to expect.

The first looks are out for “Battlefield Heroes,” a cartoon-style first-person shooter for PC from developer Digital Illusions and publisher Electronic Arts, and due for release this summer.

Like its predecessors, BH’s fighting environment mimics the World War II-era European theater. Unlike its predecessors though, BH doesn’t demand much nerve-wracking skill, so even gaming newbies won’t feel intimidated. Because shooting isn’t BH’s main attraction — it’s the avatar customization.

BH will be Electronic Arts’ first title under the company’s new “Play 4 Free” strategy, in which gamers download the title at no cost but make “micropayments” to add customized features. Faces, legs, arms, torsos and uniforms can be altered in a myriad ways, as well as some weapons.

And depending on how much customization gamers want to add, the cost could be steep. In that case, the best weapon for BH players might be a newly minted credit card.
