message: O who wrote the crap about the "convinence items"??? Dice has strictlly said that they will not be implementing those in the game. ALSO! the cite for that leads to a FANSITE which is not a valid resource for information. PLUS even the fansite says the BF heroes doesn't have Convince items. I'm deleting the text about that immediatlly.--CrazyOmega (talk) 22:23, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: "Characters" Section

message: The user at 124.180.177.88 redirected the page to Team Fortress 2.  I cannot understand the criticism of Battlefield Heroes with the use of comparison to Team Fortress 2.  How does cartoon graphics in both the games mean that DICE is copying Valve?  Are the developers of games with realistic graphics all copying one another?  I cannot stand the half brained idiots that cannot look pass a video games appearance.
P.S. I am a fan of Team Fortress 2 and, so far, also of Battlefield Heroes.  Ace Fool (talk) 02:17, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Dice say:
They end the closed beta now and reopen it early 2009 so the release is maybe 2009.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.178.193.192 (talk) 14:54, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  release date 

message: The question has to be asked, considering the recent slating of EA for their Spore DRM. Will this game contain the same kind of software? The little trust and respect I had for EA has been decimated by that incident.
I realise that DRM is pointless, given the nature of the game. But I wouldn't put it past EA to include bits of privacy-invading software for various reasons.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.15.15.120 (talk) 16:19, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Section out of date

message: Currently, the game is still in close beta. Therefore, any release on wikipedia of content discovered in the beta would technically 
violate the NDA every tester signed. I removed some sentences / did an overhaul of the gameplay section, but for most of the information in the article, I don't know what is relative to content disclosed by DICE/EA and what is in the article only because people who have played the beta added their own knowledge to the article...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.235.198.242 (talk) 00:00, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Release of protected information 

message: Regretablly, BFH is already swamped full of cheats (aimbots). I guess the game will end up like combat arms. The real dissapointment, is that in a beta, the software company is supposed to get feedback from the game, but they have done nothing to actually do so. of course, you can put your credit card in the beta and spend money, so that function was implemented just fine. This seems like an all too common story from the battlefield series, where hacks seem to be the norm in a game.

thread_title:  Available maps 

message: This article is clearly a mess. Most of its content is the same as it was months ago, while the game has evolved much. There is also a lack of information. There should be at least a short sentence to describe each class' role. There has been no developement towards the metagame yet. There is no information about the maps in the article (the current number of maps, 5, should at least be noted somewhere). Something should be written about the factions and backstory (which is easy since there is almost none, except the video showing that the Nationals cheated at the 1936 olympics). These are the major problems of the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xthuser (talk • contribs) 15:39, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In the Security Breach subsection under the Development section, it states that LulzSec managed to obtain "MD5-hashed passwords of over 550,000 beta users". The last sentence in the paragraph states that "only screen names and encrypted passwords were taken by the hackers". This is inaccurate because MD5 is a hashing algorithm (i.e. 1 way) and not an encryption algorithm (i.e. 2 way). The Rock, Paper, Shotgun source (21) does not mention how the passwords were stored (but perhaps the editor on here downloaded the database dump and looked at the hashes); whereas the VG247 source quotes EA on saying that the passwords were encrypted.
No clue whether or not EA is covering themselves by saying the 550,000 passwords (hashed with an algorithm that should have been deprecated a decade before the incident) were encrypted, but I just figured I'd note it here.
