Battlefield Heroes: Difference between revisions

----

=== Tropes used in this game: ===

** Generally, the Not-EA Hero Clothing of-the-Day is visibly based off a recent movie. Take the Summer of Heroes campaign, for instance. The Wizards come from ''[[Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows]] Part 2'', the Barbarians come from ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'', the Superheroes come from ''[[Captain America]]'' and ''[[X Men First Class (Film)|X Men First Class]]'', and the Pirates come from ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: On Stranger Tides''.

* [[Alliterative Name]]: Every map is named in this way.

** Certain weapons (i.e., virtually all of them save the Modern ones) are, too. For instance, [[More Dakka|Rudolf's Rescue, Tommy's Typewriter]]. One of the ''very'' few exceptions is the Royal Knife, which they clearly couldn't think of anything for. The National counterpart, Konrad's Knife, is a bit of a stretch, too.

** Averted with the ''[[Battlefield Bad Company (Video Game)|Battlefield Bad Company]] 2'' [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]]'s weapons, who are given their real designation numbers.

** Further averted with just about every weapon released post-Tier 2 weapons. They all use their real life designation (for instance, Scoped M16, Micro-Uzi, M32, etc.)

* [[Grenade Launcher]]: Available to all classes after the Punk Heroes update. It's mostly used for long-range covering fire, being almost completely useless in close range encounters.

* [[Hurricane of Puns]] / [[Just for Pun]]

* [[In Name Only]]: Debatable... the game goes have rather different gameplay from the the original series, but retains some elements. [http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=107500&page=8#pid1451652 The game also isn't headed by DICE, either].

* [[Lean and Mean]]: While not actually evil or villains of the game, the Nationals' characters are sharp and thin - to contrast, the Royals are more rounded, muscular and larger.

* [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]]: Of a sorts. Weapons and clothing themed from ''[[Battlefield Bad Company (Video Game)|Battlefield Bad Company]] 2'' have been released.

* [[Military Maverick]]: The description of the Royal "Leet Hero" set spells it out quite nicely.

* [[One-Hit Kill]]: Deliberately avoided as much as possible, though running over people with vehicles or shooting Commandos in the head with the most damaging [[Sniper Rifle|SniperRifles]] while using the Piercing Shot ability may do so.

* [[Parrot Pet Position]]: There are pets purchaseable in the store that ride on the player's shoulder. (Royals get a monkey, eagle, and snapping turtle, Nationals get a king cobra, parrot, robot monkey and snapping turtle. Both factions get peacocks.)

* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: The "evil" army, the Nationals, have king cobras as pets, while the "heroic" army has a bald eagle.

* [[Revolvers Are Just Better]]: The lvl-10 versions of pistols which have a better chance to critically hit and a larger magazine.

* [[Serious Business]]: The [[Silly Reason for War]] in this game is the Royals accusing the Nationals for cheating during the cycling event of the Olympics.

* [[Shades of Conflict]]: The game's plot is a farce on its own.

** The only problem is that most players are in agreement about the "long range" shotgun being a pile of crap.

* [[Silly Reason for War]]: The Nationals took the gold at the Olympic cycling event, so the Royals accused them of cheating (and claimed their mocked the king's mustache during peace talks). [[Bugs Bunny/Characters|Of course you realise, dis means whar.]]

* [[Sliding Scale of Silliness Versus Seriousness]] : ''Soooo'' far to the silly side that it [[Absurdity Ascendant|breaks the scale]].

* [[Speaking Simlish]] : The player characters don't actually speak all that much ingame, except for a muffled "Hello" (spoken with a stereotypical accent). For the most part, they just express themselves with overexaggerated interjections and gestures.

** You can even use your hard-earned experience points to buy them new additional gestures. These are used either [[Attack Pattern Alpha|to suggest a new combat tactic to the others]], call for help/backup, or taunt the enemy -- especially immediately after you've killed one.

Soldiers use [[Standard FPS Guns|submachine guns, shotguns and pistols]].

 

* [[Blown Across the Room]]: The Blasting Strike ability knocks back and damages nearby enemies, even tanks or vehicles.

* [[Combat Medic]]: Soldiers are the only class which can heal others and are no less capable at killing you.

* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Katanas were added in late November 2011 to complement the Heroes of the Rising Sun sets. They're the most powerful, longest-range melee weapons, though they swing much more slowly than the knife or the machete. And in case you were wondering, they're just as useless against tanks as any other non-explosive weapon.

* [[Knife Nut]]: The knife is one of the signature weapons of the class and is actually pictured on the class insignia; ''very'' few Commandos go without one (or a machete at least)

* [[Status Buff]]: The Piercing Shot ability is a '''Strength''' one, but for sniper rifle shots. Elixir is a '''Speed''' one that increases movement speed (and provides a small shield that absorbs damage, effectively a '''Max Health''' boost much like Hero Shield). Poisoned Blade increases a knife's chance to [[Critical Hit]] by a considerable amount.

* [[Standard Status Effects]]: The Poisoned Blade ability causes the wielder's knife to do extra poison damage over time. Troop Traps also have a poison effect on enemies.
