    So it's my understanding that there will be squads, but can you spawn on your squad leader?


    Also, there's only 3 classes, but will one of them have a sort of first-aid kit or the ability to revive teammates?

    Thanks guys, any info you might have is appreciated.

    I understand it will work a lot like Battlefield: Bad Company with the squads and destructible environments, only in WWII.

    Yes, but with only 3 classes. Makes me worry. Even bad company (just checked the wiki) had 5 classes.


    In the quick look I didn't see any healing at all, repairing or anything. Everyone's just out for themselves, that's just not my thing. So if anyone has info on this 3 class thing... I checked the official website and all, but didn't see any info on support. Just "this is the machine gun guy! and this is the bazooka guy!" Jeez. What is this, BF Heroes...

    "The game also features a regenerating health system similar to the Call of Duty or Halo series[4]"

    You can't really complain because this game is just 15 dollars.

    And I do hate the fact that it has regenerating health, and infinite ammo...but what can you do?

    The Infantry class will be equipped with a wrench.


    And i do agree that regenerating health and lack of classes will be a pain.
    Also this is the closest thing to a "true" BF game on console, so for a 1942 vet like myself, picking up a controller is going to be something new.

    They are spending extra time on the PC version, so I'd hope that they might be adding more features to appeal to the more hardcore battlefield audience on PC.

    At this point, they'd have to offer blowjobs from Kristen Bell for me to care.

    i hope they take out regenerative health and infinite ammo( you still have to reload so maybe it wont be that big of a deal) out of the pc version which will probably have more players.

    @Tenshin:  hey bf heroes is fun, you should give it a shot, its way better since it released a couple of days ago. But i agree it should be like a full featured bf  and have the regular 5 or 6 classes the pc versions do.
