No mention of TF2 as likely inspiration for the graphical style?

This definitely looks like a good laugh, and good on them for trying to engineer a free to play multiplayer experience. I'm sure they'll make money out of it somehow, with extra's or extreme advertising but that's all fair enough if the core game works well for us poorer types.
Looking forward to watching this develop, also as my computer isn't greatly powered will be interested to see what kind of sliding graphical scale this functions on.

It's a cartoon game. It's going to look cartoony, TF2 or no.

Very interested in this, it looks like a huge amount of fun, and this from someone who doesn't really do online gaming.

There's no way you could resist its charms with a name like Sergeant Disco. That name is Battlefield Heroes all over.

played the beta, right now it's got some big problems that stop me playing it right now and it's ugly don't know what olis talking about the graphics are very basic!

the main problems are:

hideous mess of menus in the website and client only (you can only change some options in the client and some in the website and these are arbitrary options with no logic to them whatsoever).

commando i was playing as was overpowered i just steamrolled over everyone i met.

vehicles and third person perspective all feel flimsy.



not to say it wasn't decent fun, just that for me this stuff was game breaking a bit, most people probably wont mind and it'll definitely be fixed up for release.

I would love to get my hands on four beta keys of this. Sounds like perfect office friday afternoon gaming bliss.

I think you just broke an NDA. I could be wrong, though.

you, sir, dont understand what makes a game look beautiful/bad. Rockman9 must look like apeshit in your eyes.

This sort of comment makes me think that people have no eyes. They're both cartoony, and that's about it. TF2 is close to Pixar fare such as The Incredibles, it's detailed and elaborately lit, whereas the Battlefield Heroes style is basic, friendly and much, much simpler in visual terms. The two are about as close as Spirited Away and Disney's Little Mermaid.

But Miyazaki has admitted that Spirited Away was directly based on Disney films like The Little Mermaid.

Directly based? I'd like to see some proof of that before I believe it. Not saying that it's impossible, but "directly based" doesn't really fit the evidence of the two films.

I hope you can change class/weapons loadout now during a round (which remarkably wasn't the case in an earlier build and it wasn't even a bug but an intended design choice back then?). Good thing they delayed it a bit more because cute looks alone can't save a game.
