The Battlefield Heroes (http://www.battlefield-heroes.com/) website was updated early today with info on beta keys as well as the intro to a new map! Check it out:
Hello Heroes!
First of all, in case you missed the news:
LOADS of Beta keys are being given out - to everyone.
Visit any one of our partners (http://www.battlefield-heroes.com/news/giving-away-even-more-beta-keys), register, and get yourself a Beta key.
Don’t forget you can still pre-order your very own server and get 16 Beta keys for yourself, your friends and your clan!
There, now that you're all set up for a Beta key, here is the news.
Last week we held a mini-contest on the Beta site (http://play.battlefield-heroes.com/) and this week we want to share the results with everyone.
The contest was a simple, but FUN one:
Look at this image (http://www.battlefield-heroes.com/files/CoastalClash_Small.jpg)of our new, upcoming map and give it a name. That's it!
We did provide some guidelines; some things to keep in mind when coming up with name suggestions:
* Keep in mind the maps characteristics: things like like bridges, the windmill, the cliffs, etc.
* Also keep in mind the names of the already existing maps: Seaside Skirmish, Victory Village and Buccaneer Bay
The winner was promised eternal fame and glory for being the one to come up with the name for our new map.
We created a new thread for people to come to and post their ideas and in no time at all the thread reached an Epic 327 pages before the deadline came round.
Our developers had a great time reading through ALL the suggestions and although there were a LOT of great ideas, I had to remind them that they could only choose one.
Just so you know: the map is not quite ready yet. When development of this new map is complete and we’ve had time to properly play test it, we will post more news, after which we will let it into the wild to fend for itself.
And now, without further ado, the winner of our name the new map contest.
Take a bow:
Noobilator!
Your suggestion won.
And now, coming soon, to a Battlefield near you:
Coastal Clash (http://www.battlefield-heroes.com/files/CoastalClash_Large.jpg)
