Battlefield Heroes Quietly Launches
by Chris Faylor, Jun 25, 2009 8:45am PDTDICE's free-to-play web-based multiplayer shooter Battlefield Heroes, originally expected to launch last summer, is now available for all to play via BattlefieldHeroes.com.
The launch comes as a moderate surprise, with no formal announcement whatsoever. The oft-delayed game had been running in closed beta for some time.
Though free-to-play, real-world currency can be used to purchase a variety of in-game items and bonuses, including the ability to "level up faster [and] get Valor Points (VP) faster," new clothes, "ultra exclusive limited-edition items," and special emotes. However,, you must first purchase the virtual "Battlefunds" currency available in $5 (700 Battlefunds), $10 (1400 Battlefunds), $20 (2800 Battlefunds) and $50 (7000 Battlefunds) bundles.

That black guy? Who flexes and stuff? Looks unbelievably racist. It's like "Grown Up Black Sambo" or something.

And after 50 tries it still told me it couldn't find a single game. Seeing as it only searched for about 3 seconds every time I'm finding it hard to believe it actually searched at all.
Would be fun to actually try a game against other people before I uninstalled it for good.

It seems like DICE wanted to apply TF2-style gameplay without understanding that TF2 works for many more reasons other than its art direction. Simply put, its a simplified, slow moving Battlefield game that offers little reason to play more than a few rounds other than purchasing incremental upgrades that do very little to add value to the gameplay . In short, its gets boring really fast.
I do give EA credit for trying something different but they need to really think about what they're doing.

For some reason it keeps losing my keyboard settings. They make you leave the server to change keys. Then you rejoin a server, only to find out that it's forgotten the settings again so you leave that server to changes keys. Then punkbuster thinks you are spamming server slots or something and you can't join for a few mins.
So you wait a few mins to join and then find out it has lost your key settings again.
Then you quit and the Heroes program crashes firefox.
