Well, well

as a BF:Heroes player, I’m kinda disappointed in most commetns, and ofcourse the review.

The gameplay itself is nothing less than awesome. There are alot of different “spells/boosts” that enhance this games gameplay.
Aside from the pityfull server interface (well, there is none, so yea) this game makes a great game to play with your real life mates, and wont hold u back from having a fun night of LANning.
It doesn’t require that much skill to get some kills.
Then again, its not the case that you wont be able to stand out, because if you’re somewhat tacticall u can get about 2k EXP per game (average) as the mediocre player will only get about 500.

Like I said before, this game has its flaws and you might find it bugged or incomplete as you’re experiencing your first gameplay. But after a while you’ll setle with it and pray for an update. But concidering this game is still somewhat ina beta phase,I have my faith in this game becoming even better as time goes by.

Like it has been said before, this game is completely free (with premium items though, which are not manditory)

I highly recommend anyone who likes vehicle/skill based shooters, to give this one a try with your mates!

Has anyone else had the game fuck their router by screwing the DNS redirects all to hell?

That really didn’t make me feel happy about my experience, as you can imagine.

But it’s DICE, so a shot-full-of-bugs experience is basically what I expected.

Yes, commando’s are a bit too strong, especially when they get to upgrade their rifles. They should at least remove the massive damage they do to planes and increase the cooldown on cloak a bit. Try sitting right behind a tree/bush and zoom. You can see right through the foliage yet cant be seen yourself, cloak or no cloak. I, for one, like Heroes and will be playing this every now and then.

The planes need rockets i reckon. Once you get the hang of flying them they are pretty useful.
My only real bugbear is with the Victory Village map. It’s tripe and i always bail out when it comes on. The map with the lighthouse is really good though, love flying low over the cornfields taking swipes at snipers hiding out.
It’s fun, it’s free(ish), it’s fairly moreish and i hope it develops further. 7/10

Stop complaining about the lack of class switching! You’re not supposed to be able to. The whole idea behind the “Heroes” stuff ist that you play and build a charakter belonging to a fixed class and not that you switch around at will. This way you have to identify yourself with a class to a certain degree.

There are a ton of other battlefields with ingame class switching and where the identification with a specific class therefore doesn’t exists. If that mechanic fits you better, go and play those games.

If people expect this to be like other battlefields I don’t know why they’re wasting time on this. It is not like the other games and is not supposed to be. If you’re not open to those changes like the reviewer or even consider them bad design just stay with the other battlefields.

I really hope they let you switch class on the fly in a later patch. It is the main problem I have with the game, you pretty much need to quit to switch class.

In TF/old battlefield/CoD4/Wolf:ET you can change every spawn, but forcing you to play one class in Heroes is why it’s a 20 min-at-a-time game, not a 2hrs-a-night-game.

I’ve been having fun with it. I haven’t had too much trouble with snipers, and knife-wielders seem terribly allergic to the Soldier auto-shottie.

I wish the plane was a bit more useful, bit it’s fun to zoom about in.

I find the game balances out well enough – though my only gripe as an avid Gunner is the -slight- lack of damage his machineguns dish out. This is only really apparent when up against those asshole Soldiers with their far superior weapon, burning bullets and instant healing. Apart from that I have loads of fun juggling snipers with rockets from a kilometer off, or tossing my Kegs of Death at the unwary (followed by a rocket to set the thing off). The only other problem I have is with airplanes and how useless their machineguns are – that could do with some damage boost as well.

That being said, what other game lets me play as an old dude out for a stroll in the park?
