Battlefield heroes (free-to-play MMOFPS)

[Eaglestrike]

I haven't seen any topics about this game (checked last few pages) so just going to see if anyone else plays this. A summary:

Free-to-play (you can spend irl money for cosmetic changes to your character and faster leveling/currency accumulation) team-based FPS game. There are 4 maps currently, in each map are 4 "flags". You capture a flag by proximity, stand near it and it moves towards your teams influence. The number of flags you have determines how much killing the other team hurts their "lives", more flags = one kill means more. There are 3 different classes:

Gunner - Tank - Comes with a shield ability, can learn to eat explosives to regain health, get a aoe-speed boost and can increase machine gun accuracy. Comes with machine gun/shotgun and can get a bazooka.

Soldier - Healer -Can do an AOE heal, heal is more effective with more teammates around. Can also put a burning DoT on targets and throw grenades.

Commander - Spy/Sniper - Comes with knife/sniper rifle. Can stealth. Don't know what their abilities do, they're the "cheap" class so my friends and I don't play it, lol.

You get levels through playing. You get points based on damage done, exp based off that, every other level you get a point to increase an ability or learn a new one.

You can also ride jeeps, drive/shoot tanks and fly airplanes. Fairly fast-paced gameplay and good fun. Battlefield Heroes to try it out.

Was on the beta, lets hope they managed to get rid of the aimbots otherwise this game is a complete pile of shit ridden ass.

It's actually still in the beta. I hear my friend talk about aimbots and I might have seen a couple, but for the most part I don't really notice any.

There's also supposed to be some trick to the sniper rifle recoil (only recoils in one direction, so if you get it down you can essentially rapid fire someone with it) that they're getting rid of next update. So hopefully that and some other changes I've been hearing can get rid of aimbots and what seems like aimbots.

Last I heard they were putting gameguard on it, to detect bots and stop them from being used.

It was pretty disgusting when I played. The town level with the clock tower in the middle was the worst. If you spawned on the German side out in the open you'd get sniped within 1-2 seconds, but you could hear the shots being fired at you as you were spawning, because of the spawn protection.

Back then, a simple google search for "BF:H aimbot" would get you 5-10 different working aimbots, even a few days after updates which supposedly fixed aimbots.

This game is horrible, I played it back in like March I think. I tried playing a Soldier but all anyone does is play Commando and either snipe or run around swinging their knife like they're motherfucking Jason.

that was exactly my experience, too. as far as i can tell, nothing has really changed.

Not an MMO and not worth playing. Anyone who drops money on this instead of just buying a good FPS is braindamaged.

Good thing it's free then, eh?

It's fun, and no class is really overpowered compared to another, except maybe the Soldier heal could use some toning down.. Commandos aren't a problem once you learn how to move around.

When I tried to play this, half the people had dropped cash on cosmetic changes for their dude.

I did that during the first week of CB but the price to look awesome is shit not going to bother with it now that it's out.

DL'd this and went to try it and can't seem to find any matches, does anyone even play this? Lol

[edit]

holy shit, after doing some research about this error I get, "You have been disconnected. (15), it seems I'm not the only one who has this problem and apparently it's been going on for a while. God I hate EA, such a shitty company.

[Eaglestrike]

Do you have Punkbuster? It's an anti-cheat program. Most of my issues were resolved once I had that running.

Also, change the options to "Infantry Only" in some setting I forget, that also messes some things up.

Yea it downloaded it, but can't tell if it's running. To bad I already uninstalled it.
