Battlefield Heroes Beta Application

I am interested in this game, because I love the BF games and I like free.

I'm passing on this one. I'm not a fan of the new cartoony graphics.

Also, I don't know how true this is, but its disappointing to me if it is: "The game has a "cartoon-feel" and has been made simpler to play, with more emphasis on participation and fun than skill and strategy."*

Personally, the skill and strategy is the fun part for me. I have also heard it is 3rd person only.
Now if by 'emphasis on participation' they mean playing hard & well even on a shitty team nets you rewards, well then thats a good thing.

Let us know what you think of it!

I am a bit worried too. I am hoping that it will be fun for me, but accessible for someone like Zeli who has never played a game like this.

Getting her to play a game like this with me would be awesome.

Still waiting for a BF3 though. I did the Bad Company beta on the 360 and that was a lot of fun, but BF seems like a series that should be on the PC.

The 'retail' version will be free to play though, with reportedly some non-critical stuff optional to buy, so if it's worth checking out I will let you all know (if I get into beta....)

Yea would be nice if it was real user friendly. My wife has wanted to play FPS games since halo....but I'm not a good teacher.
.....I kinda get all cocky and kill her and crap and then she gets mad

if it's F2P you can bet it's gonna be casual friendly.
Hardcore gamers will pay for a game so no point in making it free then.
And the cartoony graphics scream casual and low end comps more than anything.

Nothing wrong with that but anyone wanting a serious game is not gonna find it here most likely.
I mean think about it, if you spend real money in the store and get BA weapons and total everyone, are you gonna have fun?
Winning and total annihilation are different.
winning is fun, being OP to the point where it takes no effort will get boring.

I don't know if this will last since IMO most FPS players are hardcore lol.
Casual players don't tend to like this type of game since it's more competitive than a game of Monopoly.
But the graphics are really trying to bring people in.
$20 says no blood at all. And maybe kills are actually KO's.
