    At Last.
    well done BF Heroes team for getting the site back up.

    and the good news is

    NEW MAP YAY!!!!


    you might have problems logging in. new patch required and then it crashes. keep trying.

    Coastal Clash brings you fast-paced action in an infantry-focused map. Control over the windmill is the key to victory.

    Friends
    Add your friends, see when they're online, and join them in-game.

    Leaderboards
    They're back! See how you stack up with thousands of other players and fight your way to the top.

    Groups
    Create and join your very own Group. Each group has its own, unique leaderboard so you can compete with just your friends.

    Player and Hero search
    Find your frenemies with our new search features and see their stats, Missions and more.

    Permanent items
    You now have a permanent purchase option for all Battlefund appearance items and emotes.

    Code redemption
    Be on the lookout for special, promotional codes which you can redeem on the Heroes site for Battlefunds or very cool, exclusive items.

    Improved Store
    Now easier to use: the BFH Store will show every item once, and by clicking on it you'll be able to see all the different price options, as well as durations that are available for that item.
    For more information on the new store experience go here.

    Punk, Busted
    Yes, PunkBuster is here! Cheaters and hackers beware!

    Reporting players
    The new User Search is your friend. Find a “bad apple” on the site, by their Hero(in-game) name or by their player(web display) name, and report them.

    New site look
    With all these new, cool features we ran out of space at the top. While we were fixing that, we decided to make the entire navigation much cooler.
    Over the next few weeks we’ll be rolling out more visual changes to the site, so it will be a much nicer place to visit.

    Paypal is almost here
    As previously mentioned Paypal is coming closer, stay tuned!

    Yep! They have been offline for 6 days! The update isn't new. It got released friday, and I managed to play the new map (Coastal Clash) before their servers and site crashed.

    Another neat trick for you, if your a firefox user, go to there home site and get version 3.5 it should let you right click and save videos now, if you like a video enough save it.

    Alternatively there are a handful of youtube download programs you can find on google. I just use the first one I found called youtube downloader.

    Yeah, you have to download a client from the website, and every time you will play it, you have to open the game from the website =)

    First you have to go to thier site and make an account
    Then use that to apply for a BETA key
    When you have the key you can just download the game and play

    That was what I had to do, it might be different now :)

    Hope this helps

    I got into the beta awhile back at first it was really fun like WOW and battlefield combined, but it has no depth whatsoever. After about two hours I stopped playing, I will get the full release when it comes out for the hell of it though.

    Is anyone having problems playing? I just install it and restart my pc and when I click play now and it try to find a server then the window turns black and it stays there. Is this an typical error or is their server down?

    thats not normal.
    black screen means its loading the page and then goes to full screen.
    it sometimes comes up with a red box saying unable to find a game of your level but retrying always loads the second time.
