There's also a new trailer for the game at the site.... looks.... interesting to say the least.

Exploring the site I found a place to create a "group" not sure what it's for but I created one for JiF. PM me and I'll send ya the link to join it...don't want to post it publicly until I know more.

Kinda fun... vehicles are pretty clunky but overall I like it so far. I think there is only one map at the moment though..played 3 games and all on same map.

This game is a blast. I've been playing it since April, leveling my guy up and getting new weapons, abilities, etc. Once you get the hang of it, it's really cool. Everything is cartoony, including the vehicles but that's alright, it just adds a new wrinkle to the same basic BF gameplay.

My name on there is Tr0gdor - add me as a friend in-game. Oh, and there's actually 4 maps. Each map has a rotation of 3 before moving on to the next. The games are short, though, so you can't really get too bored with any one map.

Yeah I played a little more and saw a different map.

I hope this isnt a stupid question, but anyways, do i need a Beta Key to download the game?

[[JiF]Mike]

Just register on the site and you can download and play the game!

Also of note, I've contacted my friend that rents servers and have pre-ordered one. He expects they will release in a week or so. We'll have our own server to mess around on!

[[JiF]Trogdor]

Awesome. Looking forward to the JiF experience on Heroes!

So did they get punkbuster on it yet to get rid of all the hackers that were playing.
I gave up it was so bad.

I saw some topics in the forums about people having trouble with PB, so I would guess it's enabled. I've been trying to join a server for about 15 minutes and I haven't been able to connect....guess they are getting slammed with new players.

I've just downloaded the game and i've played the tutorial. But when i'm in the in-game menu, i press the yellow button where it says "Play Now". Then it comes up a box that says "Match Making. We are searching for a suitable game that matches your preferences and skill level! Please hold on..."

When it's done searching it says "Unfortunately, we could not a find you a suitable server. You have these options: Try again. Choose another hero. Create a new hero."

What do i do? I can't find a place to play.

[[JiF]Mike]

That has been happening a lot to me too. I think it's because there aren't many servers out there right now and since you pick a team and class when you create your hero it kinda limits where you can go. I created a new hero and tried again and was able to connect, but even on my other other hero I don't connect at times. Probably be best to have 4 heroes (the current limit) with 2 on each team for a better chance at finding a spot.
