Looks neat.

Never heard of it, looks like fun though :D

I like the look of sitting on the aeroplanes wings :)

[Jed]

lol. DoD 1.3b meets TF2 :D

[fess]

Little old news ;) I'm not really sure what to make of it, will have to play it and see I guess.

There's been a lot of gas about it being a TF2 rip-off, which I also believed at first sight, but after seeing more of it, I'd say it's just inspired by TF2 in the art direction - which isn't exactly a bad thing.

I laughed out loud at the Pirate Bay page shot. :D
However, if something is available for free, wouldn't you choose the service which is likely to be fastest?

Gamasutra interview of Doug Lombardi and Jason Holtman: (http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=17744)

We also asked Lombardi and Holtman about promising alternative business models and the role they may play in PC gaming's growth. After all, EA is doing so with Battlefield Heroes, which some have suggested bears a striking stylistic resemblance to Valve's Team Fortress 2. The pair shrugged off the resemblance, commenting only, "How many games look like Quake? How many bands wanted to be like the Beatles after the Beatles hit?"

It doesnt look anything like TF2...

[fess]

Uh...? Really? It uses exactly the same cell shaded artistic style, and one of the characters is almost a mirror image of the TF2 heavy. But anyway... it was a great response from the Valve guys, but after all EA haven't got anything on Valve in terms of creating quality games, at least in my humble opinion ;)

[porc-épic]

I always find valve games (although good) a bit too basic, BF heroes should be alot more interesting.

[fess]

What makes Valve games more "basic" than BF Heroes?

[porc-épic]

I'm not sure to be honest :icon_redface:

[spine]

lol you guys... :D

[porc-épic]

I hope it isn't this quiet when it gets released :(

[fess]

lol you guys... :D

Nowt wrong with friendly debate ;)

[spine]

[porc-épic]

So I won some beta keys in the weekends tournament :) (top 5 people of each class win beta keys).

Does anyone want one? First two people to post can have one.

[spine]

Eh, I don't want one.... thanks :D

EA do have one thing on Valve though, they can release on time. :D

[Hugo.B]

Mind if I request one?

[porc-épic]

Yeah I've sent you a pm. Does no one else want the other one?

[fess]

Might as well give it a go if there's still one going, thanks ;)

[porc-épic]

Sent you one :)

[Asskicker]

Can I have one too? :) Looking forward to play this.

[porc-épic]
