[PC] Battlefield: Heroes

Well I think it's about time we had an update in this thread. Is there anyone else playing the Beta right now besides me, Star and Animechanic? I'm currently a level 9 National Gunner.

This game is pretty darn fun. It's very much like a casual BF2 with cartoony graphics. The clothing you can outfit your characters with are really nice, and yes, if you stick together you'll do much better than going solo. I'm having trouble deciding whether to buy a machine gun or a rocket launcher first.

Haha, one round had just me and one other against five Royals. Even though we were horribly outnumbered, we did pretty well, managing to get lots of kills and captures before our eventual defeat. I actually managed to complete three missions just in that round alone.

Most amazing jew boots

Only the Gunner class has rocket launchers and while they're not as strong as TNT they're pretty much a godsend since you can hit tanks and other things (send enemies flying) from really far away. Otherwise good luck trying to get close to a tank on foot if you're not a Commando.

Gunners are my class of choice, but I just started playing as a Commando and they're an interesting class to play as, but takes longer to learn how to play them effectively though.

A new map is apparently coming, one with a lighthouse (hmmm).

Sorry, but I never use planes because I just totally suck flying. I'll stick to tanks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well this is a late reply, but the new map, Coastal Clash, came out on 06/03. It's an infantry map like Victory Village.

They made several tweaks and updates in the past several weeks. Soldiers can no longer do 1 hit kills with Grenade Spam. Gunners' MG DMG range has been increased. Lots of bugs have been fixed. They added Punkbuster to deal with hackers. They tweaked the planes too with an increased MG range and the chance of dealing critical DMG to infantry units. Haven't heard of any updates to Commandos, but a way to counter-act their sniping is for Soldiers to use their Mark Target skill to flush them out. Sadly, they are still the most popular class though, followed by Soldiers and lastly Gunners. Oh, and I hear the Gunners' explosive keg skill works as it should now. I haven't used it myself yet so I can't comment.

No new weapons though.

Unfortunately, I dunno anyone else who plays the game besides Star (sorta, since he hasn't played it much himself either). I seem to be one of the few people who seem to it. I love BF2 and I think BFH is quite fun for a free game. I also like how it's so fast to load and play as opposed to BF2 in which loading times were a pain in the butt.

My hero name is Bitzer if anyone wants to add me in their Friends list. Since the game is now in open BETA, I suppose it's fine now to talk about it outside the official forums. Here's my sig:



I agree that permanent clothing is indeed a bit expensive. I think they should lower the prices for the smaller accessories and the emotes. Luckily I am only maining one hero so I won't need to spend so much as opposed to decking out 4 characters (or more if you buy addtl slots).

Update!: I got an email overnight with 2 redemption codes for a Beta Tester medal! It looks snazzy.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
