Looks really, really bad. Like they’ve seen TF2 and said “how can we rip off this idea, but get it so wrong that we might literally have to beg for food for the rest of our lives?” TF2 is so styley and well thought-out – and this is just terrible. Nobody will buy it. I can almost hear Valve laughing.

also; spies will be over/underpowered with the custom clothes and lack of class difference.

So…how do we tell what team people are on if everyone’s got custom gear? Or did I miss that part?

The original introductory trailer all those months ago had me sold on this game, but the media they’re released since then has been doing a decent job of making me not want to bother with it.

I spent some time watching people play this, and one of the more “popular” outfits was running around in your underwear shooting at people. Also, it takes forever to kill people. And the game would be better if they played “Yakety Sax” as background music (although to be fair, this is true of many games).

Actually if you want to be running around actually looking like the Village People rather than generic soldier #347, you have to invest.

You can also buy leveled skills instead of spending time leveling them, which may be a handicap for non-paying players.

Yeah, but it’s free. So who cares? It’s not like you have to invest anything in it.

I played this game at PAX. I didn’t find it to be very good.

Players move very slowly, and there’s a lack of a sprint function. Oh, and I still haven’t figured out how to distinguish players.

And it takes forever to kill people.

stop trying to compare apples to oranges

It’s a class-based team-vs-team shooter. Even if it looked like Crysis or Audiosurf we’d be comparing it to TF2, especially since that’s what 50% of RPS readers are playing right now.

And my apples to apples point is that I hope competition from BFH will inspire the TF2 devs to add cute cartoon helicopters or something. And the BF control points, tickets & squads gametype in TF2 wouldn’t go amiss either.

played the beta i’m not a massive fan feels kinda flimsy, not to mention i was totally dominating most of the time, the commando seems like he needs gimped, will keep playing though, there were things i liked about it, the games are fast and fun and it’s not as hardcore as battlefield, the menus are an html + client mess of switching between your browser and the game that’s the main thing that needs fixed
