Battlefield: Heroes!

[Ronin Storm]

Am I the only one who really likes the new way EA are handling things? I've almost forgave them for 2142...

If their European pricing of Rock Band holds, I'm very much not going to like them at all.

Well I loved 2142 and have never had any major issues with EA games. I love the sport games and I love the walker so much. But I like where they are going with heroes.

However thirded if the Euro price is that steep. That was one of those things that was really drawin me towards getting a xbox360. That and GTAIV but if it's pricey then that is a serious kick in the teeth.

High Price to make up for Battlefield heroes being FREE anyone?

I like the character customisation bit. That's one of the bits we pay for, though, isn't it?

I'm finding it very easy to imagine myself playing this game. ALOT.

Ditto!

Character customization looks fun, but yeah, the clothes are what you pay for. Though by the sounds of it they will be pretty small payments...

As for playing the game lots, people who sit on the wings of my plane will be able to shoot ;_; It's so beautiful! I can see it now! 2 rockets and my vucan cannon ripping through a whole group of people. So... beautiful...

They've posted up some info about the Class abilities which you can read about here. The Blasting Strike ability sounds amazing:

Now there is a last ability I want to talk about, because it really is my favorite. Going by the name Blasting Strike this ability is probably the most chaotic, and responsible for some of my favorite moments so far while developing and play testing Heroes. Simply put, blasting strikes allow the Soldier to take all nearby enemy troops, vehicles, and empty vehicles and move them elsewhere. Elsewhere may be defined as 'a few feet that way' or, "How did that tank get up there?" At first this ability was a hard sell to Mr. Salt. I believe the moment when he first saw the method to my madness was somewhere between crushing three enemies with a tank, and throwing a jeep into a passing spitfire plane.

This was set to be coming out "this summer" but has now been pushed back to the end of the year (source: Eurogamer).

Testes.

 

[Macca]

Whoot just got a message saying I have been selected as a beta tester !

 

[Nanor]

Awesome.

In the view of DICE, Battlefield: Heroes is "already out".

DICE bigwig Ben Cousins has said there will be no big release for Battlefield Heroes, but rather a closed beta to expand so much that "every hardcore gamer in the world will probably be able to get a key if they want to".

(Source)

No date in the article for when such beta keys will be available, though.

 

[BiG D]

Oh, so they're going to charge for the keys, then?

(Kidding!)

 

[Nanor]

New video!

Eurogamer have a hands on with Battlefield Heroes.

Roughly, they enjoy it but there's a bunch of stuff not yet implemented and kinks to iron out. That said, they seem fairly confident that such things can be done and they like the core of the game.
