Battlefield Heroes simplifies the core Battlefield gameplay a bit but adds in a lot of character customization, unlocks, and MMORPG style leveling.
Besides the two DS games I’ve been playing lately that I wrote about this week, I’ve also spent my gaming time on the following:
Battlefield Heroes (PC) – I just got into the beta this week, so I’m still exploring it and will give some impressions on it soon. It’s pretty crazy since I’m coming from Battlefield 2 and Battlefield Bad Company experience, but so far it works. It’s cartoony and web based so it’s relatively simple, but you create a character and level up through playing so it has an MMORPG style feel. It’ll also be free to play, but EA will be making money on it through advertising and charging for in-game items. It could work, based on what I’ve played so far – but of course, I personally won’t be paying for anything.
Ace Combat 6 – In my initial impressions, I thought the game was ridiculously hard. It was only shortly afterwards I finally figured out how to get help from other fighters, making the game a lot easier. Combine that with the fact that the best fighter unlocks in the game when you beat it on hard, and now I’m smiling and singing that I can actually unlock all of the single player Achievements in the game. And here I was thinking I was going to have to give up on this game for being too hard…
Halo Wars – Hit the Lieutenant rank this week by playing a ton of multiplayer. I stopped playing 1v1 just because at higher levels the game seems to be more about rushing, and I wanted to play more “full” games. Thus, I spent most of my multiplayer this week playing 3v3 Random Team, and I won about 2/3 of the games. Instead of 10-15 minute games that I used to play 1v1, they’re now 30-40 minute big games where everyone expands and techs to their end game unit. Definitely a lot of fun and I realize now how powerful a scarab with 5 engineers is for the Covenant. Probably going to take a break from it for the time being, now that I’ve unlocked all of the Achievements I wanted to unlock for the game. Maybe I’ll give it a spin later once the rebalance patch comes out.
