MWEB GameZone has announced a partnership with Multiplay to provide local servers for EA’s popular free-to-play titles, Battlefield Heroes and Battlefield Play4Free.
Desmond Kurz, MWEB’s online gaming manager, said that South African players were previously only able to play on international servers. With the resultant high pings, this would have made for poor game-play in these shooter-based games.
“EA has taken some very cool games and made them available for free with Battlefield Heroes and Play4Free. MWEB GameZone’s very excited about improving the game-play experience for these popular titles for local gamers, as well as making gaming more accessible to new players through the browser-based interfaces of these games,” said Kurz.
Public servers have gone live in MWEB’s Cape Town data centre. In the near future, players will be able to rent their own SA server from Multiplay for Battlefield Play4Free and Battlefield Heroes.
