A new dev blog has been posted over at the Battlefield Heroes (http://www.battlefield-heroes.com/) website today titled Character Classes, Cameras, and Computers. Check it out below:
James Salt here, Lead Designer for Battlefield Heroes. Ben is away this week, so I am going to be continuing the story of how we made the game. This week I’m going to be talking about our character classes and the 3rd person camera.
When I joined the team we started talking about what character classes we wanted. In previous Battlefield games you were a soldier who picked up a kit and assumed that role. For Heroes we wanted to take a different slant on that idea. We wanted you to own your Hero. First up, we started by thinking of all the heroic characters from old war movies, and what kind of things made them unique. After a couple of days trapped in a meeting room, we came up with these:
1. That sneaky sniper character you never see coming
2. The good all-round leader who seems to have a 6th sense about what the enemy is doing.
3. The big and reliable fellow who’s always got the big gun and seems to be able to absorb bullets.
