I mean it was supposed to launch by last summer, then fall, then winter, now a new year is here and spring is around the corner. I kinda get the feeling with all the delays, company problems, it may never come out at all.

What u think?

They'll be doing another round of Closed Beta sometime soon, I think.

Return of the Battlefield Heroes Beta

Hello Heroes!

The Battlefield Heroes team is almost ready to start the second phase of the closed beta! It?s been great to see so many of you showing so much interest already!

You may be wondering what we?ve been up to the past few months, and how this new beta phase will be different from the last time the beta was live?

The main thing we?ve been working on is building a new back-end and web system for the game. This means the Heroes website will look better and run faster and the forums, character profiles and stats will be leaner, cleaner, and meaner! We?ve redesigned and rebuilt the system that allows you to buy Battlefunds (virtual currency), earn Valor Points (in-game rewards), and to spend them on character customisation items like hats, weapons, and emotes.

We?ve also been working on improving what you see and feel in-game. We?ve fine-tuned our hit detection and made some balance improvements. We?ve hammered away on many of the bugs you were experiencing. We?ve even worked on some new customisation items and designed some new maps. These are things we will continue to work on throughout the beta and beyond.

Our aim is to bring the beta back up some time this February. Stay tuned to the Heroes site for the exact date!

If you haven?t already signed up or have friends that still want to sign up, you can read about how to do so here.

See you on the Battlefield!

I have been following this game since they announced it. I have since pretty much lost interest because it is taking so long. Every few weeks I go to their site, just to see its still not live and they are reaaaaalllly milking the beta testing. I'm sick of the stupid contests to be a test the game.. ITS A FREE GAME MORON.. Let us all test it, or just release it so we can tell you the problems. Something tells me this "free" game isn't going to turn out to be all that good.

This is exactly how I feel about it. I was stoked when I first heard about it, and that it was going to be out during the summer, so I was thinking of how me and my 2 boys playing this game during their summer break would of been fun. Then, delay, after delay, and wanna be a tester? Try and win to be one bull shit, and pretty much Im no longer as excited about this as I was when I first found out and thought it was going to be available.

Be glad they delayed it. During the first beta it was so buggy that most people wouldn't even play. It was more work than fun.
