Wolfenstein Multiplayer Facts

- There will be 3 classes in the multiplayer part of Wolfenstein: Medic, Soldier and Engineer.

- The two opposing teams will be the Resistance and the Axis.

- The gameplay is objective based.

- Standard player numbers will be 8 vs 8.

- The maps are "roughly on par with RTCW maps".

- According to id Software's Peter Sokal, "... if you were a fan of RTCW's multiplayer you can expect to see many of the elements that made it such an awesome experience, along with some new ones."

- The maps currently known are: mp_bank, mp_canals, mp_chemical, mp_facility, mp_hospital, mp_manor, mp_rooftops, and mp_tesla.

- The Veil will be implemented in the multiplayer, somehow.

- There are no vehicles in the game.

some extra leaked info:

Multiplayer is faster than what we've seen in singleplayer footage
...but it's not as fast as Enemy Territory (but faster than Call of Duty)
Jumping is pretty similar to Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, and it is possible to go pretty quickly
Shooting from the hip is reminiscent of Enemy Territory, with the spread perhaps a bit higher - but nowhere near as high as in Call of Duty
You can sprint and shoot from the hip at the same time
Ironsight is "not bad at all" - used mainly for long-range shooting, and harder to control in F2F combat
Melee will be pretty similar to Call of Duty - "one punch from any direction and enemy is down"
Maps will be of roughly the same size as the ones in ET
Most of the gameplay will be in closed areas
Five gameplay types: Capture the Flag, Stopwatch, Last Man Standing, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch
Stopwatch is the same as ET, but with more objectives required to complete a map
You will not need a "monster PC" to run the game, and graphic tweakings are possible
Two types of medics - one with medipacks/ammopacks, one with the reviving kit - cannot have both
Reviving is not only done with a syringe, and will take 3-4 seconds. If both medics are present, reviving is double-time
Artillery is here, but no airstrikes
Soldier class has many weapons to choose from, and is the most versatile
The Engineer with rifle is also very powerful - can snipe the same as a soldier, otherwise has a similar role to in ET
Supernatural power The Veil is used in MP - but only in certain areas and for some objectives. Used differently than in SP, sometimes like UAV in COD4, and will only last a few seconds
Two headshots or five bodyshots to kill someone ("hitboxes are a bit weird at the moment")
Gun sounds are similar to CoD:WaW
Flamethrower is virtually identical to the one in CoD:WaW

Battlefield Heroes Beta Key Signup

Hello Heroes, Starting today you can register your interest in taking part in the next phase of the Battlefield Heroes Beta.

If you already received a Beta Key for the earlier Beta phase, you will be good to go. So you don’t need to sign up again. When the Beta starts, you will have access. So, how do I sign-up?

To be able to sign up you must be logged in. If you don’t have an EA Account already, you can sign up for one here.
Once you are logged in, head over to the sign-up form.

When does the next phase of the Heroes Beta start?

Keep an eye on this website for more Beta announcements in the coming weeks.

How do you decide who gets a Beta invite?

Firstly, everyone still on the waiting list from the first Beta phase.
Secondly, everyone else, including those who sign up on this page.

When you start the next phase of the Beta, how will I know if I’ve been accepted?

As soon as a Beta slot opens up for you, we’ll contact you at the email address you use to log into the Heroes website.
As the Beta progresses we’ll be letting more people in, so don’t be put off if you don’t get a key immediately. We’ll be adding a lot of people to the beta, so you will get your turn.

What is a beta?
As we develop a new game it goes through lots of phases. The final ones are called “Beta” and “Launch”. Launch is when we open the game up for the whole world to play. Before we do that we need to ensure everything is ready. The Beta phase is like a rehearsal for the launch; where we test everything out with a small audience before allowing the rest of the world to play. In a beta you are likely to find lots of small things that don’t work as they should, we call these things “bugs”. We’ll need your help to find these bugs, so we can squash them. After you've signed up, please feel free to discuss this on the BF forums.
