Battlefield Heroes is still in beta, now accepting more participants photo

Whoa whoa whoa -- hold on a second. This game isn't out yet?

Apparently not, although you could have fooled me. In the mean time, the free-to-play Battlefield Heroes is going through another beta phase and is currently asking for more players to sign up.

You can sign up for the beta right here, but be warned that it's kind of a pain if you don't already have an EA Account. Keys will be emailed to those who were on the waiting list for the first phase, and then eventually to everyone else.

Take note that if you were in on one of the previous tests, you needn't register again; you are automatically signed up for this phase. If you happen to fall under this category, what's the word on Battlefield Heroes? Yay or nay?

Fun game, thanks to the guys from Failcast I played it quite a bit. It still felt like a battlefield game with customizable classes.

That's exactly what I was thinking. It's like they tried to copy TF2's art but failed MISERABLY.

I don't know why you just wouldn't by the Battlefield 1942 pack they have for ten bucks. One of the best games ever made complete with a huge mod community.

Um, they didn't fail miserably, they did something different. Theres more than one way to do "cartoony" graphics.

It's nothing like TF2 in any way at all. Unfortunately.

I picked up a beta thing at PAX where they handed them out to anyone and ummm... I spent longer trying to get it installed and running then actually playing it. It was THAT bad.

I got accepted to the beta a long time ago. Then I stopped after two days because the game was so terrible. The one thing I really liked was the character customizability. Everything else was crap. That said, it was a couple months ago so they might have majorly improved it.

From that screenshot alone I dig the style - blue sky FTW!

I was a yay until I got into the beta. I found it incredibly boring and really limited compared to some of Valve's recent offerings.

I totally agree with you there. Blue skies and white clouds rule!

I was in an earlier beta and lost interest after a few hours.

just to let every one know that BF heroes was way in development before TF2 came out. with that said imo its going to be a good game. for instance you have Soldier Front an Combat arms(f2p) which are Complete Clone of CounterStrike with 10thousand+ player on every day buying avatar kits; half ass made in some basment and you have DICE putting a ton of money an shit load of time in BF heroes promising every one that it will be a F2P. ~hats off~ ty dice
so dont dismiss the game just yet! i understand that its cell shaded an its 3rd po shooter but imo they did it out of necessity. cell shaded graphics dont require the uber top line computer to run. 3rd person well thats sort of lame i dont really understand that...

I'm really liking these free to play fps games. Right now I'm in the Quake Live beta. I signed up for this too. When it's free you have options. :D
