Battlefield: Heroes Pc game Review

[Forgiving]

Battlefield Heroes is a new Third Person Shooter for Pc. At this time it is Multi-player only and still in Beta. Your Goal in the Game is to Capture Flag points or bases, and demolish the other faction. Both teams start out at 50 points, and killing the other team Reduces their points. Having bases captured also helps reduce points.

The Graphics are very stylized and quite "quirky". In my opinion I like the graphics. The sound and game play mesh together with it to make a unique and visually stunning game.
At first when I had just installed the game, I started it up, and I wasn't that amazed. After a few games I decided I should turn up the graphics. Once I did as much as my monitor could take. I started the game up again. Wow was there a difference.
So I suggest that you turn your resolution up before you start playing, to have the best experience.



The audio matches its graphics, in its stylized way. Its very World War 1 like. Its also Very Satire-like. The tanks when fired make a fake sound, almost if you were playing with a toy.
All of the guns make very satisfying noises when fired.


There are two factions that you are able to play as.
Royal Army - Dashing, Dapper and ready to fight for the Yellow and Blue.
National Army - Suave, Stylish and ready to fight for the Red and Black.
I play National Army. In my eyes they are Ze Germans! While Royal Army is USA (Or Britain from what Greed says).
There are three classes which you can play, both on either faction.

Gunner: Takes a Beating and keeps on Ticking. Gunners have the most health, and carry a machine gun, shotgun, and an ability that ups their defense for a short amount of time. The machine gun is used for mid-range, and the shotgun is used for close range.

Soldier: Takes control of the battle to help his compatriots reach their goals. Soldiers are the in between class. They have a sub-machine gun, and a shotgun, similar to the gunner. Their special ability is to heal themselves. If they heal their team-members near them, it will heal more for everyone.

Commando: Sneaks up on his prey to unload decisive attacks. Commandos are a very sneaky class. Their two weapons are a knife, and a sniper rifle. Their special ability is to be able to stealth. Shooting or stabbing someone with their knife will break stealth. The closer you get to someone, the easier it is for them to see you.

Every other level you gain you get a hero point. Heroes points give you special abilities such as for a soldier you can activate burning bullets, which when shot at the opposite faction, will hurt them for a period of time. Another ability is to apply a poison to your knife as a Commando.

You gain VP from killing the other faction, and to win in battles. You can use these Points to buy different guns, clothing, and widgets, such as bandages, and Emotes.

After you get the basics down the game is rather simple.









All in all I think this is a great game. There are a few tweaks that could be done, but its still in the Beta phase of the game. While playing I feel as if I am not sitting in front of a computer, but in front of a little boys play set. The graphics are new in its style but not new in the way that they are cartoon-like. I hope that this review attracts some of you to this game, and changes the minds of others who didn't like it.

If you have any questions regarding the game Send me a Pm and i will do my best to help you with your problem.

Great review and a great game, even for a beta. Personally I love the game, it's unique and odd in a good way.

Good job with the review!

[Forgiving]

Thanks, i am wanting to get good at writing reviews, and maybe even do it as a job. thanks for the Feed-back.. Please feel free to be honest everyone. I need some critique.

Royal is Britain not US

You don't get points from killing the other faction which you can buy clothing with.. Only guns and abilities are for the non cash shop members as far as I know.

In my opinion it doesn't deserve a 9. If you want reasonable clothing you have to pay more a month than World Of Warcraft. If you buy clothing it expires after a month. Good game , bad cash shop.

It's a good game but the style is a ripoff of TF2

[Forgiving]

You can buy Some clothing, but all the really cool stuff you have to buy with BF points. I will only have to pay about 5 a month.. and clothing just makes you look cool as in wow.. you need to pay in order to play, thanks greed i will make the changes.

[Forgiving]

It's a good game but a ripoff of Team Fortress 2 =(

Yes and no.
Only reason you may think its a rip-off is because of how it looks, the gameplay is a totally different style.
Honestly i think you should play a little bit more of it..
You will see what i mean.

[Mr. Moose]

Well they either make it so you buy the clothing and get it forever...or they'll lose a big chunk of the playerbase. Hell , the most active threads on their forums are about the BF clothing. No single employee is responding though. Wonder why.

I have a working non used beta key for this pm me if you are interested

[Rockerfooi]

I hate the webbased launcher... Now I've startup Firefox/IE everytime I want to play...

EDIT: You can get free beta-keys here.
EDIT2: ffs, apparently you can't edit your post without submitting a user review. And now I can't edit my user review anymore...

[Notahax]

It's an OKAY game, nothing amazing imo. It gave me a headache right away.. ugh

[[ Prototype ]]

Kind of short review, but okay. It's probably the best free game that I've tried yet.

[[Spirit]]

I dunno, I didnt really enjoy it AT all, the classes seemed too simple, and there wasnt alot of ideas. And im not about to commit to a game just to buy a skirt tbh.

[soskie]
