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

    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. And the matchmaking is terrible, you sometimes end up in 3 vs 8 matches, because you are restricted to aExcellent TF2 inspired graphics. That is the only positive thing I can say about this game.

    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.

    Battlefield Heroes in a nutshell - Pay if you want an awesome game, don't pay if you want to watch continous killcams.
    But look on the bright side - at least EA doesn't charge for bullets!

    A well-packaged, team-based, cartoon FPS and it's free (well mostly)! True casual players or hardcore gamers may not feel entirely welcome though. The main theme to the game is awesome.

    Despite the graphics looking bright but childish and complex like TF2 is new. Not saying that it's perfect, not even saying it is horrible, it's a gimmick.

    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.

It's still worth a try... just don't rage when you get killed by a paid weapon!… Expand

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

    Cons:
    The idea of Pay 2 Win for EVERYTHING is horrible.
    TF2 clone.
    Unbalanced.

    Overall, BFH is playable, but TF2 is better.

    "Free" BF installment which would probably get more popular nowadays then back in 2009.

    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.

    The game we've been presented with works against itself more often than it does not.

    Without any announcement, Electronic Arts released Battlefield Heroes. Why the secrecy? The free online shooter turns out to be an entertaining game. It's a casual game with almost no tactics to speak of, but it's fast-paced and funny.
