But the entirety of the game is frought with such issues in places...
That you're locked into using only a certain class on a certain faction per character, having limited characters and such (and if you mistype a name or accidentally choose the wrong class they don't even warn you that that it's impossible to delete the character without a week's bitching to customer support) is all utter bull. Couple that with the weapon buying - "To be viable, you have to buy this weapon - albeit with in-game-only currency - which you can only keep for this set time period and screw you if there's any days in that where you can't play"... That's mainly why I dropped it tbh.

It's workable as a "My First PC Shooter" or whatever, but if you've had a shot at one of the big boys (especially if the big boy is from Valve) then it feels nowhere near as polished.
I guess I may re look into it, but well, there is the other hamstring of not choosing a map so I may never see this map :P.

I'll have to give it a try some time soon.

At worst, you don't like the game and lose a few hours figuring that out. At best, you like it and you didn't pay a dime for it.

...for the second time. And I sense a relapse after 30 September.
Go Nationals!

Since I live in Poland, III world country as it is, this kind of message is something that I get way too often.
There are countries outside of US, don't you forget it America.

1 - There are no extra weapons that are available for higher ranked players. Only special skills, and frankly, once you play a couple hours worth, you'll have enough skill points to kick more advanced player's ass too.
2 - "newbie channel" - Battlefield Heroes balances players and in most cases you will play with people of more or less your level. I don't recall a game where 16+ level players would play against 1-4 level players.

For the interested, the Patch Notes for 1.03.1080.4 is available in this topic: http://pte.battlefieldheroes.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9072

Can't wait for the new rank system, although I'd rather see them use the actual icons (in the PTE, it's just text). And don't forget the new map, codenamed "Heat" that's currently in the PTE as well.
And, honestly, I don't see how many "compare" this to TF2. TF2 itself is a FPS with a more mature outlook as well as a different approach to a shooting game. BFH, while similar in style, reprises its role as a Battlefield game and follows the same simple "Conquest" structure.

Its interesting, but it has no vehicals, not even jeeps. Its slow going for gunners without legit

This isn't an advantage because they still are place in matches against people near their lvl

@raza_d: I didn't really play it long enough to really comment on it proper, so to speak. All I know is that others had many weapons I didn't have, and I'd get killed by some rediculous things from some insane angle!

Oh and I hate the fact you can't play it in windowed.

In truth they are all really equal. I have 1 of each, and while i prefer the commando I do well with all.
