Apparently there have been rumors about Battlefield Heroes being released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 which is not true. Heroes is designed to take advantage of the web for ’social features’ and the game is therefore tailored for the PC.

Battlefield Heroes has partnered up with several gaming sites to give you even more beta keys. Click here for a list of their partners and how to receive the beta keys.

A new map has been announced called Coastal Clash. There are bridges, windmills, and cliffs in the map which is still being developed.

For those of you who have signed up for a beta key using this form, or before January 28, you should have received a beta key. If not, the e-mail with the beta key may have ‘bounced’ or got lost in your spam.

Here’s a solution: Head to the form linked to above, and enter an alternate e-mail. A beta key will be resent to you if you were supposed to receive a beta key previously. The form closes on April 6, 17:00 (GMT+1).

Battlefield Heroes just teamed up with their first advertising partners - Dörk, a Swedish home improvement store. If Dörk receives a large amount of visitors to their homepage from Battlefield Heroes fans, three new items will be included in the game’s launch:

• Battlefield Dörk hammer and nails weapon
• Battlefield Dörk ‘DIY BLAST’ special ability
• Battlefield Dörk tool belt clothing item.

Beta maintenance began yesterday and will continue until tomorrow. Beta testers will not be able to play during this time. After maintenance:

• All soldiers will be wiped
• New features will be added to the beta site
• Better overall gaming experience

Not too long ago, gamers had a chance to interview the Ladies of the Battlefield Heroes team. The answers to your questions are now up!

What do you do on Heroes?
Åsa: I’m the DD (Development Director) for the Heroes game team.
Bernadet: I am the Business Development Manager of Battlefield Heroes. I work mostly on partnerships with other companies trying to promote Heroes the best way possible.
Tina: My job, as Service Operations Manager, is basically to ensure that we operate BF Heroes as smoothly and efficiently as possible. I am the one who sees it all, hears it all, remembers it all and reminds them all.

What’s your favourite class and why?
Åsa: Soldier – I like their abilities and versatility. Though I sometimes need to get an outlet for my liking of sneaking around and play as a Commando.
Bernadet: I love the Commando class. I suck at it, but I love ‘trying’ to kill somebody from a distance.
Tina: The Commando. Probably because I am an appallingly bad close-combat player and a genuine coward with fairly good aim. My slogan is “sneaky sneaky stab stab”. I actually managed to stab someone in the lighthouse. Once. And I still brag about it.
