    Battlefield Heroes Closed Beta Starts February 11th

    Hey, remember that other cartoony Battlefield game DICE was working on? You know, the free one? Well, it looks like the second stage of the Battlefield Heroes beta is about to kick off. Here's what they posted on the official developer blog today:
    Hello Heroes,

    You will be happy to know that we will start the Battlefield Heroes Closed Beta tomorrow, February 11th.

    If you already have a Beta Key from the earlier Beta phase or activated your Beta account already, you will be good to go. You will NOT need to sign up again*. Starting some time tomorrow, you will be able to Beta test Battlefield Heroes.
    You will also receive a new email with guidelines and instructions in case you still need to activate your account, (re-)install the game, etc.

    If you don't have a Beta Key yet, please keep in mind that we’ll be giving them out in the fairest way we can, which is as follows:
    • Firstly, everyone still on the waiting list from the first Beta phase.
    • Secondly, everyone else, including those of you who sign(ed) up using our form.

    Haven't signed up yet?
    To be able to sign up you must be logged into the Heroes website with your EA account. If you don’t have an EA Account already, you can sign up for one here. Once you are logged in, head over to the sign-up form.

    I just signed up, but I didn't receive an email!
    We're not sending out emails yet. As slots open up for the Closed Beta, we plan to be sending out Beta keys in the thousands!

    With the Closed Beta starting again tomorrow, how will I know if I’ve been accepted?
    • As soon as a Beta slot opens up for you, we’ll contact you at the email address you use to log into the Heroes website.
    • As the Beta progresses we’ll be letting more people in, so don’t be put off if you don’t get a key immediately. We’ll be adding a lot of people to the beta.

    What is a Beta?
    As we develop a new game it goes through lots of phases. The final ones are called “Beta” and “Launch”. Launch is when we open the game up for the whole world to play. Before we do that we need to ensure everything is ready.
    The Beta phase is like a rehearsal for the launch; where we test everything out with a small audience before allowing the rest of the world to play. In a beta you are likely to find lots of small things that don’t work as they should, we call these things “bugs”. We’ll need your help to find these bugs, so we can squash them.

    *I had a Beta Key, but I lost the email. What do I do?
    Unfortunately we can't re-send Beta Keys. If you didn't keep the email with your Beta Key, you will have to re-apply for one.

    You can read the full blog post and sign up over at the Battlefield Heroes website. Good luck!

      This could use a huge dose of first person action, though it's way too late in the day for them to make that big of a change to gameplay.

              To me the game is loads of fun, but not something that I could play religiously like BF2 or any of the others. But I do want to see some clan battles in this, I think that could be great.

                "Closed Beta starts February 11th"


                sure it does..............DICE doesn't have the greatest track record on dates.........ill believe it when i see it.....they probably still haven't even bothered to give it any 64bit support............

                          it is most defiantly not delayed. You will be able to play the 11th

                            I like this part;

                            If you don't have a Beta Key yet, please keep in mind that we’ll be giving them out in the fairest way we can, which is as follows:
                            # Firstly, everyone still on the waiting list from the first Beta phase.
                            # Secondly, everyone else, including those of you who sign(ed) up using our form.
                            Its saying that first its gotta distribute a few 1,000 to the people already waiting then they will move onto the other 100,000+ that signed up when they opened the signups to the 'closed beta'.

                            Exciting :-|. :-P.

                              I hope they go by Member number on their website. Cause im in the 30,000's which is pretty low on their site.
