Nothing like honoring a dead celebrity than by putting his memory in a game where you have to kill each other.
There will be two Michael Jackson-themed costumes coming for free to Battlefield Heroes soon. One is the "Smooth Criminal" white suit outfit for the good guys and the other is the the black leather outfit from "Bad" for the bad guys. It looked like users were going to have to pay $3 for the outfits but Electronic Arts cleared up the situation to MTV Multiplayer and stated that the outfits would be released for free.
Something about this is just really off putting. It's a nice gesture to pay tribute, but it just feels wrong to do it in a shooting game. Especially so soon after Michael's death.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I would like to see a moonwalk, or a 45 degree lean emote.

Anyway, who all plays the BFH? It's pretty fun.
I play, it's growing on me now I'm up the levels a bit. Needs more maps, few bug fixes - hit detection is sometimes very wonky - etc but it's got potential.
