Battlefield Heroes Beta ---Thoughts

I think it is a lot of fun, not meant for competition. I love just getting into good fights and having a good time.

If you go there expectinga hardcore competitive game, you will be disappointed. DICE never said it was a MMO nor that it is going to be "hardcore".

I can sum this game up in 4 words......."Sucks to the Bone"

I'm having a lot of fun with the game. I've been playing it a lot of the last week.

Only one class have a knife? And so what?!..

There's only three map because it's a beta. However each map is well crafted and each map does a good job playing to diffrent aspects of the game.

As for your idea of the diffrent classes it doesnt sound like you've actully played the game a lot. Yes, commandos are lethal at range, they are primarily snipers, what did you expect? You can kill a sniper at range as long as you use the right weapon and watch what your doing.

The rocket launcher sucks when you use it against other infantry, it's a weapon used against vehcles. If you know what your doing a decent gunner with a rocket launcher can slaughter a tank while on foot, against other infantry you need to use the MG, or the short range shotgun if your at close quaters. In addition to that Gunners can completely negate grenade spam using the 'I eat grenades ability'. If you think it's a weak class I'm not sure you've yet to learn the nuances of the game.

I'm enjoying the game quite a bit. It has a lot of the same qualities I enjoy in TF2. The fact that it's free dosent hurt either.

^ This, if you don't like it don't play it. Its not like your forced to pay for it. Jeez there are some ignorant people out there.

Wooow just wow...the extent to which you take this game seriously is quite frankly sad...You seem to have forgotten that simple games can be fun and that games dont have to be battlefield to be good.

I've played all of the PC BF games and this guy is right. The game is still in beta and being balanced. They've already previewed the fourth map. And of course a gunner is going to get owned by a Commando at range, that's what Commandos are for. At close quarters gunners own commandos, at least competent gunners do. I play a gunner and he's constantly one of the two highest scorers on any map and he completely owns vehicles. I'd say just learn to play the class better.

It's ok, but I think I'll stick with Combat Arms until I get a graphics card that can handle Counter-Strike Source.

I thought it was a horrid beta. awful in almost every way

I think it's extremely repetitive, and paying real cash for items that last a month is lame.Tikicobra

I think it's a very fun game actually, it's a fair break from the gritty "THIS IS WAR, WAR IS BAD" shooters we get these days.

Nothing wrong with lightening up, kicking back and changing your gaming attitude from "Pro" to "Recreation". (XBL Gamertag reference there ;))

BAWWWW COMMANDOS KILLED MEVlaimir_Lem86

I haven't played the beta in forever, but the game is fine balance-wise. The only major issue with Commandos was 1-shot kills with a Headshot, which they fixed (it was an issue because headshots are stupidly easy to get in this game. Not really because of the hitboxes, but because of the pacing & movement system.)

A good Soldier can wipe the floor with a Commando, provided he isn't terrible at weapon selection (PROTIP: A decent Soldier with the long range pistol can destroy Commandos), and assuming he knows where his Burning Bullets button is. Gunners sort of get the shaft with their abilities, but they do annihilate everything else at close range unless you just have really bad aim.

It's not a super-serious competetive game, but it is quite entertaining once you level up and get a good selection of abilities (this coming from someone who has played pretty much everything in terms of multiplayer FPS games.)

Played for about an hour but became very feed up witht he whole thing.. didnt like how slow everything felt, if they were trying to make TF2 type game i consider this an Epic Fail.seancollins1987

It's pretty clear they weren't. Art style aside, it in no way resembles TF2..

First impressions of the game are kinda bad, actually..but it picks up once you put a bit of time into leveling.

Its alright, but it really feels unbalanced at times. The controls for vehicles is very stiff as well. The one benefit I get from this game is that its free, and I'm able to play with my friends whom are too cheap to buy TF2 or BF2.

Ok, its not what youd call game of the year, but its not "****** HORRIBLE!" either. Its alright, its a fun game.

imo the game is quite fun, but the "free" aspect of it seems abit **** because of the fact that you have to pay if you want ANYTHING special, not that it gives stats or anything but my point is still there. also i think there are WAY to many hackers, in other words; they should beef up their "anti hack" system...

I like the game... The graphics and the gameplay is pretty simplistic.... The only problem is that there are no servers available yet in the Far East region where I live... Consequently, it lags as hell... Hopefully, the final version will get all region server support.

It's free so I wasn't really expecting much. I wish they had more maps.

I wouldn't say this is the greatest game i have played. I mean the vihicle controls are sluggish and lets be honest even the most die hard amongst us can't say that the shooting is slightly ilproportioned. To the people who compare this to the rest in the series they need to realise its a free game and that its in a league below a retail game, so cut it some slack. Do you really think people EA is going to pour a tonne of money into a program which they are offering for free? I understand they may harge of add ons but hey how else were they going to break even.

Yep, horribly unbalanced. The gunner is almost completely useless, because by the time you get to a decent range for shooting your enemy, you will probably get shot by 5 commandos.

Tanks are really OP and are nearly impossible to take down as infantry. I mean- 90% of my deads are caused by tanks.

Planes are hard to control, even harder to take down enemies with and are also quite easily taken down by commandos.

And wth is with the infinite invisibility and the ability to cap points while cloaked?

Also the maps are waay too big for the max amount of players and their speed.

Besides that I still sometimes play the game, because I feel it's fun for a quick 10 min. match. But that's my opinion.

I just played it and it was very fun. It needs more work but hey, it's in the beta stages. It's in no way trying to be TF2 as I thought.

I think it's kinda fun to play, and I like the catchy music...

And why did you bring back this thread?

It sucks when you consider it a part of the BF series, but it's not. On it's own, it's an okay game with some potential, but it still has a lot problems. It's insanely hard unless you start dishin out your money for battlefunds, and the game itself is pretty flawed. You can't even delete your characters, and I hate the server system. If EA works on this a little more, I feel like it would be much better.

I maintained a 3+ kill-death ratio without laying out so much as a single Battlefund. Since purchasing equipment and "uber" weapons, I've noticed very little difference in regards to how powerful I am. It's about how you use your weapons, not about how many Battlefunds you can spend. If you are a solid player, you can easily defeat someone who has purchased their gear, especially if you work in groups with other players.
