Battlefield Heroes Q&A with Colin Clarke

Colin Clarke
Will buildings and/or other obstacles be destructible?
There is no world destruction planned for Battlefield Heroes. This is in part to keep the system requirements down and also to make the game easier to learn and master. If we asked players to have to negotiate constantly changing terrain we wouldn't be able to call it a casual game
Will you be able to refill ammo/HP out in the field (as in BF1942 and BFV)? If not, will a class be able to hand out ammo/HP?
Every class in Battlefield Heroes has unlimited ammo and is able to heal themselves on the fly. Though the Soldier class could be described as being the closest to a traditional Battlefield 'medic' if you choose to play him as such; you could just as easily leave this group heal ability out and focus just on offensive abilities
Will all classes have grenades?
Only one class in Battlefield Heroes has grenades, though all the classes have access to some form of explosive. Either way there will be a Kaboom!
Will there be any stationary weapons?
Yes, currently we have anti-aircraft guns around some of the capture points in the map that has vehicles
Will there be any expansions or booster packs? If so, will they be free of charge?
This is a free game! So we want any expansions or booster packs we release to be available to everyone
How will you shoot down aircraft?
Every single weapon on the ground in Battlefield Heroes has the potential to shoot down an aircraft. Naturally the Anti-Air is the most effective tool for doing this, but with some practice you could use a sniper rifle and shoot the pilot out of their seat ;)
What similarities with Battlefield 1942 will we see in Battlefield Heroes?
We focused on those particular events that have been dubbed "Battlefield Moments" with Battlefield Heroes. So one could say that the main similarity is the potential for things to go horribly right in unexpected ways
Which is the biggest factor deciding who will win a one on one duel? Playtime? Rank? Skill?
Our focus in balancing the game was to have fights be determined most by how you use what you have and not so much how good what you have is. Of course there will still be loads of items that might give advantage at the right time, in the right place

Keep up the good work guys as this looks like one of the most funny game to be made for years!
All the best John

I CANT WAIT!!!!!1SHIFT+ONE!!111!!!

Better than great

Is bandwidth or latency an issue with this game? If so how much latency or bandwidth is at a playable lvl? Is there goin to be multiple servers setup ie. westcoast, eastcoast, mid.

want to play the game can´t wait

nice picture !!!! he

i cant wait ! i play tons of F2P games but you cant go any higher unless you pay but being totally free will have tons of players flocking to EA thanx alot for such an awsome FPS game!

It sounds amazing, really want to play it now :-D

Sweet ! :D

exelent. but is there any idea when beta comes to public?

nice i can't wait!

Nice Stuff! Can't Wait!

I think there should be just a little destruction on environments like if you shoot wood it will break and the same with windows

Respect my authoritaaah! Damn cut it on the caps everywhere.

Interview sounds good, nonetheless give us more videos to chew!

It will be important to have low latency, it always is. Shooter games can't change that aspect.

It just occured to me that if there's unlimited ammo, then there'll be nothing to stop people from shooting continuously (especially if there's no danger of friendly fire). Shouldn't there be a sort of over-heating system or anything to prevent players from becoming walking machineguns?

Woot! Woot! Looking good guys. Really looking forward to playing this........................Obcess much.yes! yes I do!!!

A Beta is a version of the game released before the full one, the Beta is one that has some bugs, and isn't totally stable, it's released so the developers can have a load of gamers from around the world testing it and sending in all the faults and so on to them so they can fix them.

Battlefield: Heroes is only going to be for the PC.

You probably have to reload as with any other FPS.... but you have unlimited magasines=)

Wow no need to shout, and anyway you don't know if 1942 is better, you've never played Heroes, barely anyone has. And it's a *FREE* game, they are trying a new marketing technique, they aren't trying to sell a million copies of it!

I NO TIHS IS T3H WIN!!1!!1

(Do I need to say joke [I mean j/k!] or is it obvious?)

Unlimited ammo >:-) Mwahaha...

REALLY looking forward to the games release, keep up the good work!

Ve are looking forvard to ze bang bang!

where is the play now button?

nice!!

very impressive i can't wait to PlaY

HI just saying that unlimited ammo isin't realy perfect great its just because then its easyer to kill some one and one thing. Im thinking that it would be cool to go in houses and blo them up.

Looking forward to play the game.
