Thanks to a helpful Half-Life 2.net forumite I was pointed in the direction of this webpage which allows you to apply to become a Battlefield Heroes Beta Tester.

After agreeing to a Non Disclosure Agreement you then must go forth and provide some information about yourself including any previous Beta testing experience and a reason for why you should be in the Battlefield Heroes Beta.

I now find myself waiting eagerly for an e-mail which I hope will provide me with further Beta information…why don’t you try?

According to James Salt that is in this latest Battlefield Heroes video!

While he doesn’t reveal anything much new, well apart from the fact that an Olympic Cycling dispute is the premise for war, this trailer shows off some lovely in-game footage.

I notice a trend for two’s and three’s in this game, two maps and two sides, three vehicle and three unit types. Interesting no?

I went off to check the Battlefield Heroes website after a tip off from a Half-Life2.net forumite about some Beta info emerging soon. What do I see but this announcement.

Hello Heroes!

As you may have noticed, you killed our website. We are not angry. We’re very pleased you want to be in the Beta.

The beta for Heroes will be divided into several stages, the first of which is all about testing out this new way of getting games to you all; by downloading and installing them from a website. We’ll also be trying out some other dull stuff to do with servers, so we are expecting the systems to be down as much as they are up.

To help us track down all the technical issues, we have asked a third party to find us some specialist Beta testers. We are doing all this because we want to be sure that when we launch Heroes, everything will work smoothly.

So hang in there! We will announce here when it’s time to sign up for the public stage of the Beta.
