    I received the email, there really is no Beta Key that is sent, they will just activate your EA account to get a Security Layer login to get into the beta login site.

    the email should be like this:

    I got my key 2 weeks ago and I must say I like the game. It's pretty fun with all the crazy stuff you can do, it work great at the highest settings at 1280x800 without overclocking the card, though it gets pretty got (up to 90C) so I guess it’s more demanding than it looks like. The only thing is that since I am a casual gamer it will take me some time till I get credits for a new weapon.

    Put me down for one if at all possible! And I'll pass it along (if/when I get mine). I'm desperate to get into this, looks a great game.

    This sucks! I really want to play this game but every time I try to connect to a server it says it could not find a match to my skill or whatever. I have tried turning off my firewall and reinstalling. Any ideas?

    I found a few posts about not getting any games with the match making system and there is no help on the forums. It has to be something with the router ports but nobody knows which ones. I could open them all but that would be bad.

    whichever firewall, just make the firewall see BFH.exe as a trusted application, and all of its ports should be open for use.

    got mine a few days ago as well.... having a blast with it! Great game, thought it would be a TF2 knockoff, but it's actually it's own game. Enjoying the vehicles as well!

    Luck is usually on my side... bad luck that is. I am very happy to have received it. Of course I applied many months ago, can't even remember when.

    got mine as well at last.
    one quick question though, how do you upgrade your guns. do you have to buy them or is it with points through kills that you get the option.

    You buy them with VP (Valor Points) that you accrue as you play as well as complete missions (achievements) if you choose to do them.

    realism like dolphin diving?

    battlefield heroes is supposed to be more quick easy play similar to TF2, but much more upgradable within your class.

    It's a great game

    Easy to jump in and play for a while, but the only problem for me is that it automatically assigns you to a server, and the my ping is always bad with too much lag

    Apart from that it is a fun casual game that has a had a lot of work put into it

    sadly im addicted to it. game play can be a bit jerky here and there but still a good game especially as its free.

    as a beta you only have 2 maps and it does get a bit manotanous after a while as you learn where all the hiding places are and its not that much of a challenge knowing where players are hiding.

    the bit that really gets me mad is there always seems to be a few that will spoil it by somehow having invincible power and bullet proof skin and just cant be killed.

    imo a great game.
