Tot slot...

Tot slot van dit topic: indien je probleem en/of vraag nog steeds niet verholpen/beantwoord is, dan verzoeken wij je om een nieuw topic te openen. Lees voordat je dit doet eerst de forumregels goed door en neem daarna de onderstaande informatie in acht:

• Formuleer je vraag en/of probleem duidelijk, want zo kunnen we je sneller én beter helpen. Niets is vervelender dan dat er 4 pagina's worden volgespammed voor iets dat achteraf heel makkelijk te beantwoorden/op te lossen is.
• Maak van dergelijke foutmeldingen altijd een screenshot en post deze op het forum. Op deze manier wordt het voor ons makkelijker om je te helpen. En let op: upload afbeeldingen altijd via het forum, voordat we allemaal rode kruisjes zien. Gebruik dus geen sites als Imageshack, maar gewoon het forum om je afbeeldingen te uploaden*.
• Gebruik altijd eerst de zoekfunctie voordat je een nieuw topic aanmaakt. Misschien dat er namelijk al een vergelijkbaar topic op het forum te vinden is, waarin wellicht het/de antwoord/oplossing staat gegeven. Verder kun je ook dit subforum goed doorkijken voor hulpzame bronnen, mocht de zoekfunctie weinig hebben opgeleverd.
• Op dit forum helpen we absoluut níet mee aan illegale praktijken. Mocht je dus een probleem hebben met de illegale versie van BF2, helpen we je helaas niet verder. Dit ivm onze algemene regels. Topics die hierover op het forum verschijnen, worden permanent en zonder waarschuwing verwijdert!
• Eén keer posten is genoeg. Post niet tig keer hetzelfde topic op het forum.
• Probeer zoveel mogelijk geduld op te bouwen en niet gelijk in de stress te raken als er even niet op je topic wordt gereageerd. Iedereen op dit forum is aanwezig op geheel eigen gelegenheid en heeft naast dit forum ook nog de grote boze buitenwereld ter beschikking.

*Voor het uploaden van een afbeelding ga je naar 'Beheer bijlagen' in je reply-scherm. Kies vervolgens voor 'Browse...' om de betreffende afbeelding(en) op te zoeken. Als je de afbeelding(en) gevonden hebt, voer je deze in. Daarna klik je op 'Uploaden'. Wacht enkele ogenblikken. Nu wordt/worden je afbeelding(en) via het forum geüpload.

Heroes INFO




Battlefield Heroes is a cartoon-style action game currently under development by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE; an EA Company). The game features context-specific third- and first-person shooter perspectives. Currently planned for release for Windows-based PCs in summer 2008, Heroes will be the first Battlefield game to be released under Electronic Arts' new "Play 4 Free" model, which will see the game released for free with revenue generated from advertising and micropayments.
Advertisements will appear on the website and the 'front-end' of the game although none will appear in-game, while micropayments may be made for additional items to customize the appearance of players' avatars without any gaming advantage. The game is said to be placing less emphasis on skill and strategy, and will be less demanding on computer specifications than the previous games of the series to increase the audience base. In addition, a system will be in place to match players of similar skill levels together for fair play.


Battlefield Heroes features a modified conquest mode providing each team 50 tickets and two flags at the start of the round.
Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums http://forum.i3d.net/showthread.php?t=24764
Killing enemies will reduce tickets and holding more flags than the opposing army will grant a multiplier.
It is possible to win by owning more flags than the enemy and by killing fewer of them.
Matchmaking will also be a feature to keep players of the same level together. Players of each level will play with other players within a couple levels of their own.
Developers of the game have talked about levels going as high as 40 or 50.
The two armies are called the National Army (possessing a red base color flag) and the Royal Army (possessing a blue base color flag).
The game is third-person only at this point, but senior producer Ben Cousins has stated if first-person is really wanted it may be added in at a later date.

Spawn times are Five seconds allowing for less waiting and more action. Players do not pick spawn points since the game has an "Intelligent Spawn System" putting players closest to the nearest battle. Two maps will be available on release, but a third map is in development.

The point system in Battlefield Heroes is being called Metagame (non official name), which allows characters to fight for a territorial positions during each match.
The land gained is then recorded as a win for each army, and at the end of the week everything is added up and both armies are given money based on percentage and land conquered.
Players can choose whether or not to participate in the Metagame

Like previous Battlefield games Battlefield Heroes also has a class system, but has been reduced to three basic classes. Commando (light), Soldier (medium), and Gunner (heavy) are the available character options.

Characters

Originally when a player created an account they would create a character that would be only one class and one faction, so there would be no changing factions and classes during a game. This was done to create a MMO feeling, so the player would become attached to a character and upgrade it accordingly. This caused an uproar among Battlefield players, so in order to meet the players wishes, DICE announced that there will be four character slots per account, fixing the issue of the nonexistent ability of changing classes and factions.

Commando

The Commando class is the "quick" class, specializing in stealth tactics as well as back-stabs and sniping. The known weapons of the Commando are a sniper rifle and a knife. Although the sniper rifle does high damage, it does not have a lot of ammo and cannot one-hit kill an enemy.
The Commando is a spy type character and has low health compared to the other classes. Special abilities of this class are laying traps and cloaking. The commando class has rolled up sleeves/short-sleeved jackets, long slim trousers and berets.
Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums http://forum.i3d.net/showthread.php?t=24764

Soldier

The Soldier is an all around class—equally balancing speed and armament. Currently the known weapons that the Soldier carries are the Submachine Gun and the Shotgun. Some abilities the Soldier can possess are incendiary rounds, a "health boost" (this heals allies around you), and throwing multiple grenades. The soldier is able to determine enemy locations via a special ability called "See-the-Enemy".
This ability outlines nearby opponents even if the enemy is behind a wall. This effect lasts for 10 seconds and then takes 30 seconds to recharge. The soldier class has waist long jackets, semi long trousers and light helmets.

Gunner

The Gunner is the "heaviest" of the three classes—meaning he is the slowest moving, but also the best armed. He wields a rapid-fire machine gun. Rocket launchers and flame throwers are a possibility for future updates. Special features include the ability to throw and return (to the enemy) multiple grenades. The gunner class has long bulky jackets, long bulky trousers and heavy helmets.

Abilities

Abilities are special powers that each player gets when they level up. Known abilities at this time are Grenade Spam ability (allows 15 grenades to be thrown at a time), I Eat Grenades ability (throw back seven grenades at once), Stun Grenade ability (Flings tanks into the air), Life-Points Boost, and Incendiary Ammo.
Healing is by a 'blast heal', a soldier ability that heals the player and any friendlies nearby. Players also have a bandage which restores less health and only works for your own character. Using the bandage when you are not injured boosts your health over 100. There is no medic class for this reason.

Achievement System

Achievements work by a mission system allowing players to choose an uncompleted badge, unlocking it by successfully completing a mission. The player's level increases as the game is played, as well as by completing missions. The more points allow players to buy better clothing items, but has been reported to not unlock anything that gives a player a distinct advantage.

Items

Visual items allows customization of 12 different aspects of your character: Head, face, facial hair, helmet, jacket, boot, neck, chest, hand, waist, leg, and feet. Additional items available for purchase are eye patches, badges, hats, boots, helmets, goggles, belts, and gloves.
More types of items may be added in the future, especially if the player community wants them.

Balance

There is not much information in regards to additional weapons. However there have been mentions of the sticky bomb. These are known to be extremely effective against tanks so that the game can remain balanced. This means that infantry can take on tanks and airplanes, unlike most other shooters where tanks blow infantry out of the water.
The sticky bomb will allow you to blow up tanks easily as infantry. Airplanes are also highly damaged by bullets. This way fighting in the game will be balanced.

Closed Beta Release

On May 6, 2008 the first phase of the beta was invitation only and the invitations were given to professional beta testers only. More information about the open beta and signing up will be released in the coming weeks prior to the closed beta's release.

Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums http://forum.i3d.net/showthread.php?t=24764


Ik heb al een Beta key, kan ik nog steeds gebruik maken van deze in de komende Beta fase?
In het kort: Ja. Wanneer we de open Beta op een later tijdstip opnieuw openen, zou u weer moeten kunnen aanmelden met uw oude account of u moet een nieuw account aanmaken als u uw Beta Sleutel nog niet geactiveerd had.


Ik heb net een account gemaakt en in plaats van een coole gebruikersnaam zie ik alleen een nummer. Hoe krijg ik een coole gebruikersnaam?!
Neem een kijkje aan de rechterkant (die kant ->) en u vindt de optie "Change Display Name". Jep, zo makkelijk is het!


Soms logt het forum me automatisch uit.
Dit is meer dan waarschijnlijk een cookie probleem.
Zorg ervoor dat u alle cookies gedeleet heeft, leeg de cache van uw browser en tijdelijke items, en probeer het opnieuw.


Wanneer kan ik Battlefield Heroes spelen?
We hebben nog geen officiële release datum, maar u, onze community, zal de eerste te weten krijgen van onze releasedatum.

Wat zijn de verschillende facties in Battlefield Heroes?
Battlefield Heroes zal twee verschillende facties bieden : De National Army en de Royal Army.


Wat zijn de verschillende klassen in Battlefield Heroes?
Battlefield Heroes zal drie verschillende klassen hebben:
De Soldier
Een evenwichtig vechtend karakter die zich richt op leiderschap en genezende gaven.
De Gunner
Een grote wapens karakter die zich richt op het nemen en uitgeven van veel schade.
De Commando
Een stiekem karakter die zich richt op verrassings aanvallen van zowel lange afstand en dichtbij.


Wat is een Ability?
Een Ability (mogelijkheid) is een speciale vaardigheid die je held kan gebruiken voor een tijdelijk voordeel. De mogelijkheden zijn klasse specifiek en kunnen worden up-gelevelt apart van elkaar. Spelers kunnen kiezen welke vaardigheden ze willen gebruiken in de strijd.
Een goed voorbeeld is de Gunner's "Hero's Shield" Ability - wanneer geactiveerd, voor een korte tijd zal de speler meer schade absorberen.


Hoe zal nieuwe content worden toegevoegd aan Battlefield Heroes?
Nieuwe content zoals maps, wapens en kleding zullen worden toegevoegd continu tijdens Battlefield Heroes levensduur. De inhoud word grotendeels door de community feedback gecreërd. Wanneer er nieuwe content beschikbaar is wordt deze automatisch gedownload wanneer je het spel start.

We zullen op dit moment niet een lijst publiceren met de items. Maar volstaat kunnen we het volgende zeggen:
Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums http://forum.i3d.net/showthread.php?t=24764
Wij zijn niet van plan spelers dingen te verkopen zoals gameplay voordeel, grotere / betere wapens voor "echte" geld.
Wat je waarschijnlijk wel gaat zien zijn producten als kleding, coole uitziende dingen en leuke spulletjes.

In Battlefield Heroes Players will be able to chose one of 3 different classes for their characters.
Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums http://forum.i3d.net/showthread.php?t=24764

Each of these classes have their own strengths and weaknesses. They have their own set of weapons and abilities and each class is useful for a specific role ingame. Players will need a team various classes to be successful! Which class you play is largely a matter of personal preference.

When playing Battlefield Heroes you can pick between the following classes:

Soldiers are the durable, hardened, combat veterans. These goes know how to take a hit and how to patch themselves up in no time at all! Soldiers lack the pure firepower of the Gunners, nor do they have the sneaky abilities available to the Commandos.

Instead soldiers rely on their survivability. Lot's of power is nice, but what good does it do if your opponent fixes himself up before you manage to deliver the final blow? Oh and did we mention Soldiers can throw a barrage of grenades? Who needs big guns when you can clustergrenade?
Also known as the boys with the big guns. Gunners come equiped with massive machine guns and rocket launchers. What they lack in survivability they make up for in brute force. These guys can take out those pesky little tanks on their own!

To boost their already impressive amount of firepower Gunners get abilities that make sure that bullets from their massive guns hit their target. They also get other skills such as exploding barrels for blowing up big metal things. Scary stuff indeed!

Commandos are sneaky stealthy bastards. They are able to render themselves almost completely invisible. No big guns, no survivability. Sneaking up and slicing someone to pieces is the way to go for Commandos!
Alternatively they are formadible marksmen, shooting targets from a great distance. Their skills complement these masters of sneakyness such as extra damage to their first bullet, poisonous knives or the ability to vanish from sight!

Their motto: "You can't kill what you can't see".

[TUTORIAL] How to add Battlefield Heroes to Steam Games

I've seen a couple of threads about releasing this on Steam. I already have mine added to Steam, and it's not too hard to set-up. With this, you can open Steam Community in-game while on Battlefield Heroes, and friends know that you're playing this while online.

It is also important to note that your browser MUST be closed BEFORE you launch the shortcut I have written in this tutorial otherwise your in-game functionality will not work.

OK so let's go.

STEP 1:
First, add your Internet browser to your Steam game list. In my example, using Firefox, I did this by pressing "Add Non-Steam Game" > "Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)" > "Add Selected Programs", but this will also work if you add "Internet Explorer" as well.

STEP 2:
Once you have added your browser to Steam, it should appear as your browser's name, for example Mozilla Firefox, on your games list. To show this as BF:H, you're going to need to right-click on your broswer icon in the Steam games list, and press "Properties"

STEP 3:
Under "Target" Option should be the path to your browsers instal location. For example, mine is "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe". At the end of this, add the extension Battlefield Heroes to the end of the target. For example, mine looks like this...

Quote:"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://play.battlefield-heroes.com

Remember to leave the "s in and leave a space between the target location and the BF:H launch website.
Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums http://forum.i3d.net/showthread.php?t=24764

STEP 4:
Change the name of the shortcut from your browser's name, to Battlefield Heroes

STEP 5:
If you wish to overwrite the browser's icon (in my case a fox) for the shortcut's icon, then press "Choose Icon" from the "Properties" screen and navigate to "C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield Heroes\BFHeroes.exe" and choose that and press "Open" to select that as your new icon

STEP 6:
When you've done all that, press "Close" and you should have a new shortcut to open your browser at the Battlefield Heroes game launch page, with your Steam Community activated, and with your friends able to see you're playing BF:H. Alt+Tab still activates the in-game functionality as well.

STEP 7:
Enjoy BF:H on Steam

Hope this helps people, and remember to close your browser before running BF:H from Steam otherwise the in-game functionality won't work!

swish

EDIT: It appears that you also need to add the game to your Steam favourites, otherwise the shortcut reverts back to an original browser shortcut.

If you just signed up or changed your email address and didn't get the email you were promised, then you probably ran into a bug we are currently experiencing on the site.

There is a very easy solution though. Just follow these three steps:

1. Go to https://profile.ea.com/login.do
2. Sign in
3. Click resend activation

That should do the trick!

Errors Adding/Joining Friends

Some of you have been getting errors when adding or joining a friend recently, this could be due to adding or joining a friend during a map change/a round ending.

Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums http://forum.i3d.net/showthread.php?t=24764
Not to worry, the best thing to do is to wait a short while and simply try again since there is currently no way to see your friend's server at the end of a round or changing maps. Trying multiple times can also help as it maybe possible that the teams are balanced or there are more people on the faction you are trying to join as than the opposing faction.

[Mr. BlueZone]

If you mistakenly gave your medal to the wrong soldier, please follow these steps:

1. Making sure that both heroes are of the same faction, otherwise it won’t work
2. Log in on the site
3. Click your name all the way at the top, this will bring you to your profile page ( http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/player/<number> )
4. Click on the name of the hero you mistakenly gave the medal to
5. Copy this link and paste it somewhere so you can find it again
   (Word, Notepad, a blank email,…)
   Read more on: : i3D.net Game Forums http://forum.i3d.net/showthread.php?t=24764
   We will call this “link 1”
6. Go back to your profile page
7. Click on the name of the hero that should have had the medal
8. Copy this link and paste it together with the first link from step 5
   We will call this “link 2”
9. Now, go to Support > Help Pages
10. Find the link that says “Need more assistance to find a solution ?”
11. Select “Billing Support” and click the button
12. For “Nature of issue” select the last option
13. In “Subject” you write: “Beta reward medal on wrong soldier”
14. In “More info” you write:
    Which character did you give your beta reward medal to?
    “Link 1” (from step 5.)
    Which character should your beta reward medal have gone to?
    “Link 2” (from step 8.)
15. Enter the approximate date and time in the last field
16. Read over your submission a last time, to make sure everything looks right
17. Submit

That’s it, you’ve done it!

Billing Support will remove the medal from one and place it on your correct soldier. This is not a way to try and get extra codes
Also, please be aware that the folks over at Support have a lot of things to do, so you might have to wait a couple of days. They will, however, send you an email when they have handled your request.

Please be aware that both the 200 BF code and the Beta Reward codes that we sent out to everyone who signed up before June 22nd, 2009, have an expiration date.

This means that you must use the codes before 2009/07/30, otherwise the codes will become unusable.

Fix To "Error 15"

By Broo

Go Into Your Character That Isn't Working (With "Error 15"), Then Go Into Settings, Go Down To Where You Select What Type Of Map You Want To Play On, Select "Both" (I'm Not Crazy) Then Make Sure "Telemetry" Is "On" (That Is To The Right). Then Click "Play Now", And If You Get The "Error 15" Click On The "Change Character" Button. Then Log Back in With The Same Character, And Click "Play Now". Keep Doing This (It May Take A While) Until You Will Eventually Log Into A Server. (Trust Me)

Then, Once You Have Logged Into The Server, Exit Out Of The Server, Go Into Settings, Then Turn "Telemetry Off". Then Click Play Now And Every Time It Should Work. Be Sure To Bookmark Every Successful Server You Log Into, (Just For Precautions) If It Doesn't Work, Repeat The Process Again. (No More "Error 15" For Me!) This Worked For Me! I Hope It Does For You.

How do I obtain new items and abilities?

You earn new items and abilities by playing the game!
Success in matches or in completing missions earns you Valor Points that can be traded for weapons, clothing, emotes, and widgets. Leveling earns you Hero Points that can be used to upgrade your abilities.

Battlefunds can also be traded for fun emotes, clothing customization, and now for permanent weapons. If you've been spending your hard earned Valor Points on a favorite sniper rifle, shotgun, machine gun, or even hand grenades every month, and you just want to permanently add it to your inventory and be done with it by spending Battlefunds, you have that option.
Weapons may still be obtained with Valor Points, and using Battlefunds is not necessary to receive weapons upgrades.

How do I complete my missions?

Before you may complete a mission, you must select it and move it to your active missions bar.

• Click on the "My Stuff" in the header
• Then click on the “Missions” tab on the far right
• To select an available Mission, drag/pull it from one of these tabs to your Active Missions bar
• Click Play Now and attempt to complete those missions

You may have up to three missions active at any given time, so choose wisely.
