Battlefield Heroes Goes Live

Looks fun but I can't shake off how much it just looks like a poor man's TF2. I'm sure its not, I just keep thinking it doesn't look as pretty as TF2. Again, I know thats totally unfair.

Its actually rather expensive for a free game last i checked.

Just tried it... man it's terrible. It doesn't feel balanced at all.

That trailer made me seem like I was watching the intro to Pokemon

I shall give it  a try, but my expectations are low.

" MMOG style? "

I preffered Alterac Valley due to the NPC aspect which allowed me to still be a useful tank, as I was mostly into PVE. Still, this is Battlefield with a faster pace and more unlockables than previously, not an MMO. Surely players "peak" much faster and it becomes an even playing field? No?

It's actually not as good as the hype makes it out to be. Try it once and never come back.

Wow that was a god awful trailer.

Errr, what!

Whatever you get over time, I've only played like twice :-P

I think I saw some people use gear I don't have (with any class) though, but maybe I'm wrong.

Edit: Yeah, there are more weapons, explosives, healing items, and other stuff to buy. I played some more, earned some silver coin thingies, you can buy better (more like different) weapons to suit your playing style. I could equip my commando with one of two new sniper rifles, one firing faster and the other having more recoil but more headshot damage, and I could replace his knife with some pistols, each better at a different distance. I got the latter rifle and a pistol but I hate it so I'll revert to knifing. You can only keep them for like a week or a month if (for a higher price) then you have to buy them again. You can also get new clothes but the free-to-play selections you can buy with game coins is limited, there's a larger variety you have to pay for (yeah, no thanks EA) and they're all just for show from what I see.

I also upgraded my sniping and knifing skills, once each. My knife now does damage over time or something, it's poisoned. Lol. Anyway, fun little chaotic game, its pace is nothing like standard Battlefield honestly.

Anyway, go to the store interface and check it out yourself :-)

Wow that trailer was really not what I was expecting for this. Can't wait for it to get past beta.

Wow, call me when this and Quake Live work for Mac. Weird, since EA is one of the more apparent Mac supporters with Spore and Sims.

I've been in the beta for this since the very start. The game has only ever run once on every PC I've tried it on. A bunch of other people had the same issue. Still happens now that it's gone live. Awesome.

If Electronic Arts were to slap this on XBLA or PSN and charge $15 for it, I'd buy it.

That video reminds me of pokemon.

I got an error message too.

guys any one download the game pleas let me now what the size of the game

It appears to be around 370–380 MBs in size.

Man that trailer was so 80s lol.

That could quite possibly be the greatest trailer that I ever saw.

That was great!

Now I really want it now!!!!

It's actually funny how many things you could actually do with this game.

After playing more I see the MMO comparisons. Pressing a hotkey to enable stat-boosting skills that have a cooldown sure feels like one :-P

Not liking that vid, not into glitch videos. Show a nice full match with good camera direction and win me over :-)

I think it's cool that they are offering yet another version of the Battlefield IP.  Here at work, there have been plenty of times where kids wanted to play Battlefield 2, but it was a bit too complicated for them at times...what with the squad mechanic and the commander stuff and whatnot.  This should offer a simpler version of it while still allowing for some form of depth in customization and such.

It is a cool game, addictive, but it seems to lack diversity... so in the long run it will probably get boring. 

Sounds like Team America.

Vehicle physics and controls are a little off, they're not quite enjoyable to ride and have weird behaviour to collisions It's like they need more weight to them... I set up the 360 controller for the plane controls and it's still quite fiddly. I hope they'll improve that aspect at some point, but currently I'm having a lot of fun as mostly infantry, my commando is lvl 8! I prefer smaller matches. It's a fun game after all.

@damn: the other vid was showing exploits and such, that's what I meant with glitches.

That's the most hilarious game trailer I've ever seen.

That trailer looked like a saturday morning show
