Been playing the game for a little while to notice their are no weapons to buy with actual money!

I'm 29 played Battlefield 2 for 2 years call of duty 4 since day of release both at a good skill level, had a go playing tf2 about a month ago for a week and the learning curve is harsh and i got bored fast probably because i was slaughtered and the thought that I was playing against ppl with years of playing :)

I personally feel bfh is a breath off fresh air, maps well designed and feel open (no real bad choking points). Classes seem balanced if i play against skilled gunners, soilders, commandos it's 50/50 depending on the senario. If the losing team is beeing base raped or the enemy is camping out side the base I'm often dropped in a random part of the map!

Each player is ment to be placed in servers depending on their skill level (ELO = skill based ranking score), not sure if this is in use yet but each server I have played their is one or two enemys with similar skill level as myself and others more skilled than me with others not so skilled.

Veicals do not feel realistic. Jeeps make you feel they are straight out of a cartoon, planes very easy to learn the basics (take off etc.. but the learning curve is hindered by easily been shoot out the air.) Tanks also don't seem to handle realistic but i found them fun.

The only ways ppl spend money to get an advantage on others,

xp Boost = this doubles your rate on leveling up and of co use gives ppl the chance to increase their abilities quicker 1 new ability point (hp point) every 2 levels.

vp boost = doubles your virtual points which 'everyone' gets by playing the game, you can buy new guns, health boosts, vp available clothes, (I've not spent a penny on this game, and I've had the most powerful sniper rifle from about 10 hours of playing).

I'm not saying BFH has no flaws I personnaly don't feel the game plays like TF2 (experiance only from a new players point of veiw).

If you want stand out from the rest of the team in terms of looks then you'vr got to spend cash.

If you want a hero with a high level and lots of fully powered abilitys you've got to put in hours of game play or spend cash to shorted the time needed.

If you want a war simultor with accurate weapons vehicals etc.... This is not it!

I can't really argue much with a free to play game. It comes at no expense and therefore you can leave it be without having lost anything but time. And if you take your gaming ego too seriously, dignity.

The only powerups that actually make players 'better' are minor upgrades or changes to their weapons that don't make much difference and can all be bought with the in-game currency that comes free with kills or captures. The only things you can buy with real money are clothing, taunts and other miscellaneous visual do-nothings, so I can't fault the gameplay much. Sure it maybe a rip-off at points but I still much would rather play this as a 'casual' game than others I [http://www.popcap.com/games/pvz/] have to pay [http://2dboy.com/games.php] for, for equivocal enjoyment.

That, or I just like the theme song melody. *Whistling*
