Heroes not coming to PS3 or 360

Falcon — Wed, 20 May 2009 05:18:50 +0000

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.

Re-sending Beta keys

Falcon — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 02:50:32 +0000

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).

Meet the Ladies of the Heroes team

Falcon — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 22:10:46 +0000

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.
