    It was ok, but too much greed and lag destroyed a game that could have been good

    The gameplay itself could be way better. They have messed up the balance between classes by adding overpowered-only purchasable weapons. "Free to play - pay to win", and they only tell about the free to play part to us.

    Battlefield is an online shooter in cartoon style. The upside of this game is that the design is rather unique and fun. But a major flaw in this game is the lack of balance in the gameplay.

The upside of this game is that the design is rather unique and fun. But a major flaw in this game is the lack of balance in the gameplay. Firstly, EA has created so called ´´uber weapons´´, which can be purchased in the store and provide significant advantages, compared to the standard versions of the weapon. More benefits means more cost. Additionally, the game servers are somewhat feeble. Often this is not a problem. But there is nothing as annoying as lagg right when you are trying to snipe someone down. Furthermore, the game is somewhat ´´fraud-sensitive''. Cheating is the broadest sense of the word is rife throughout the whole game.
    All of this contributes to the detriment of the gamer. EA has created in environment in which flaws in the game can be exploited to such an extent that ultimately you can only remain competitive through cheating and profligacy. The concept of the game was good, simple and entertaining. Unfortunately, skill has little reward in this game.    … Expand

    EA are destroying this 'free' game by providing paying customers with 'Uber' weapons. It started as real money for clothes, you could pay to look different. Now - after stating it would never happen - real money gets you stronger weapons... It would have been a score of 8, bad move EA. Play for Free.. Die for Free

    this could have been a good game. the classes are balanced, and there are good vehicles too. but the only problem is that if you dont pay, you dont win. I dont get battlefunds so i get owed all the time. once somebody killed me with one shot on a sniper when it usually takes me 4 or 5 with headshots.

    Bores the heck out of me, combat isn't fluid/nice and at the end of the day this is supposed to be an FPS. Just because it's free doesn't make it good.

    Excellent TF2 inspired graphics. That is the only positive thing I can say about this game. The game is terribly unbalanced, and simple stupid design choices such as that you are restricted to a single class through the whole game, a single nation for that matter, is just so stupid.

    The pay for win formula has destroyed this game. At the beginning it was a good and fair free-game, you could pay for look cooler but not for gain a real advantage, now free users are there only to get killed by big spenders with uber/super weapons an lots of moneypaid widgets.
    But... Hey!They allow you to do the sparring partner for free! EA is so generous...

    There's plenty of better free games out there. Unless you are under the age of about 12, there's no point in even considering this game. TF2, for instance or Crossfire are much better alternatives.

    You can customize your weapons by paying for a pack or using "The Claw", which can be done once a day for free!
    Also, you can make or join a clan, multiple weapons which, if lucky can be used unlimited with the Claw.

    I love this game. But yes I agree with you all, they should make it less pay to win. More credit weapons would solve this. But then again, you can earn battlefunds by doing surveys. Do surveys for half an hour and you can buy super/uber weapons. Also, a little problem are the noobbashers. So I suggest you play on custom owned servers.

    Generic free to play game with some Battlefield "magic" in it. The art style is nice, the gameplay is okay but as I've already said it's your usual "F2P - Pay to Win" game.

    Its a fun, free little game, although it is very simplistic. Its not a game for the hard core, but if your more of a casual gamer, its definitely worth a try. However, its going to need at least a few more maps, vehicles, and features in general to stay fun, but that's not of any real concern, at least at the moment

    Fast paced. Lots of action. only 5 maps and games can go quick with skilled players. No lag to speak of with a good connection and PC. As with any game with a chat screen you will find jerks. No problems finding a game and if you are a good player everyone want to be on your friends list.

    I rated this game for what it is: a free-to-play FPS that delivers a fun yet casual game experience. With low system requirements, and quick online match-ups, it really is a game for casual people, yet is enjoyable for everyone. The experience system works nicely, keeping people interested while allowing for customization of powers, and I believe that the classes are well balanced.

    But look on the bright side - at least EA doesn't charge for bullets!

This game doesn't take itself seriously in the slightest - it's all goofy, lighthearted bloodless silliness with the air of some sort of Pixar movie. In the kill cams, for example, players can play silly emotes to taunt their victims. It'll really appeal to casual gamers. The only problem is that all the good weapons can only be bought with battlefunds, which in turn must be bought with real money - but that problem is fixed, now, because you are now able to get battlefunds for free by completing surveys.… Expand

Infinite Ammo. You can't even change class without creating a new character, which automatically puts it down to 2 points. A major problem I find in the game is that it does not support fast 12 year old typers like me, it keeps on skipping letters when you type fast. You can't even type fast in the game? You're suppose to type fast in a FPS or else you will get typekilled, HELLO?! Also, the game doesn't even have a launcher. You have to GO to the website and THEN the launcher will appear. That shows how unadvanced the game is, and YET, people are still paying for it.

    The worst part about the game is that, Free to Die, Pay to Win. We all know that EA was terrible in the first place. As a F2P, I find it outrageous how the only weapons you get is stock, and THAT'S it! Sure, there are SOME guns you can get temperately, but they are quite expensive. The community is god awful. Unbalanced Teams occur, there is no auto balance! What the hell! If you enjoy this game, you are either a complete nitwit or someone who doesn't know what a real game is.

    So why is it one star and not zero? One reason is that there are tanks, jeeps, and planes, which are somewhat of a nice idea, but they are annoying. Vehicles are fine, guns are crap. The other part is it's kid friendly, no blood. That's really it.

    Overall, very bad game. If you really want to try it out, go right on ahead, but if you use a single penny on that game, money well spent.

    I'm not disappointed though, this was my expectations to EA.    … Expand

    Battlefield Heroes is just a gimmicky version of the Battlefield license. The art style is trying a tad too hard to be cool, and the gameplay is quite finicky. This game may be free, but it's not the best. I wouldn't recommend this at all.

    Battlefield Heroes "Free To Play." If you play as a free user it deserves a 4 at the most. If you spend over $50 it should deserve a 8. But if you are willing to spend so much for this game, you should just buy a game from the Battlefield series. Another con is that there is no "lobby." You can't choose the exact map you want to play in. I personally play TF2 because it is a free game, allBattlefield Heroes "Free To Play." If you play as a free user it deserves a 4 at the most.

    Pleasant game play.
    Big maps and tanks and planes and stuff.

    Cons:
    The idea of Pay 2 Win for EVERYTHING is horrible.

    Unbalanced.

    Overall, BFH is playable, but TF2 is better.

    A phenomenal game ahead of its time, a custom hero-based shooter with a few distinct, balanced, classes with abilities and factions that adds to the variability. All of this with so few maps, two factions, few ability points to diversify playstyle along with unique weapons for each class. This game has a surviving project for a reason as well as a better memory in the battlefield franchise.

    EA DICE presents us a game that comes up with something new concerning the really worn-out issue of war. They have decided to get away from realism und titles like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. The only negative thing about it is that only online-gamers will have long-term fun clinging to this online game.
