This trailer looks shiny, but it's already been said that all trailers/promotional-work looks absolutely jaw-dropping and funzies. Reality is always a little different.
STOP.WHINING.
Seriously, the crying has begun, again.

besides I remember COD4's trailer being uber awsm, and I wasn't disappointed, there was no difference in anything from trailer to game. Same with BF2.
My point was more so that people who 'feed their own money' into the game will be disappointed. I know it is a free game, but all of the hype and excitement over BF: Heroes has created a real sense of false hope. It boils down to nothing more than a 'casual game' (a sector of gaming of which I have already voiced my opinion)- and so thus all the hype and talk of "I'm gonna play it as I played BF2" is quite hilarious. It simply doesn't have the thought or balance, or the depth and longevity of a 'real' game... it's a gimmick.
Yet, by far my biggest 'whine' (as you put it) with this game is the shameless manner which they've tried to steal TF2's limelight. TF2's graphic design style and humorous approach was a genius change to the bland banality of the current FPS market... and it's just insulting that EA try to step in and hog some publicity with this 'free-game' travesty that is mysteriously attracting so much attention.
Note: The 'price' of the product/game isn't really a factor of my criticism at all- and people are entitled to criticize things. People who avoid voting because they don't endorse any of the candidates policies whine about the government; people such as myself who won't download the game will still have their own founded-reasons for avoiding it.

All trailers look better than the actual game/movie. They entice you to watch it, play it and buy it. But in this case, it's free. Still, I'm not forcing you to waste your time.
Ignore it then and let it pass? Negative publicity is still publicity you know. Besides, if people want to spend money to dress their online virtual character, that is really up to them. And pretty much everyone sees where EA got the mustard for this game. But that doesn't mean they can't take an idea and try to improve it, right?

The trailer looks fun. They say it's not BF3 so I really don't mind, I might even try it. Lets hope that valve don't mind the similarities with TF2.
I think it looks awsm!!
definitely downloading it!

Jesus Christ you are so full of shit. Team Fortess 2 really is not that great, and there is absolutely NOTHING stopping EA making a game that has the same visual style. I want you to state, apart from the visuals, how EA are copying Valve? It's third person whereas TF2 is first person, it has classes, the same as TF2, yet also the same as every single Battlefield game.. How else are they copying them? Maybe the humour, but everybody is entitled to add some funnies..Uzique wrote:

TBH TF2 wasn't the first game to use the cell-shading design. The thing that bugs me is these "free" cash shop games always end up being a load of shit.
This concept wouldn't even exist if they didn't think people wouldn't spend more than $50 on cash shop items, and trust me some people spend hundreds of dollars, sadly. They are sacrificing quality for profit and then they call it the future of gaming. Fuck.That.

TF2 doesn't use cell shaded graphics. It uses phong shading to produce its stylised graphics.iNeedUrFace4Soup wrote:

Cant DL from BT ? lame
That was actually a pretty well done trailer. I said it before but yeah, I'll check it out. What's the worst that happens, I spend a few minutes downloading it only to be disappointed?

Definately looks like a fun game.
Great trailer too

It is only copying the TF2's cartoonie art style, and TF2 wasn't the first game to look like that, in fact there is an old DICE game called Codename Eagle whose art style similar is more like BF:H's than TF2's is like BF:H.
Lol, funny video, this increased my chances of downloading it.
The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.
The guys riding the airplanes thing also looks cool, this is a good game for under 13's.

This has piqued my interest.
Especially the wing surfing (actually, sitting) aspect. Reminds me of when a bunch of my friends and I flied all around Midway on 1942 on the wings of a Dauntless.
