Wednesday 25th March 2009, the day Battlefield Heroes was to get a new update to add new features to the game. DICE stated it would be a 2-4 hours job and that soon escalated to 8 hours but what does that have to do with fans showing their loyalty?

Well that comes down to everyone seeing the twitter update of "Beta is back online". Now remember my past reports on BFH gaining over 100k signups and the fact of old beta testers being in the thousands also coming back for second phase? Well DICE never expected for all of them to still be around and waiting, not only that but they never expected the pre-ordering a server and gaining 16 beta keys to take off either.

In their most recent update, they have claimed that they understimated their fanbase and never expected so many people to try and access the game at the same time, which has now left them to be working throughout the night to get it fixed.

Bet those gamers that said "BFH will flop" are kicking themselves now!

    Haha, I remember sitting in the steam room with you saying "what shall we play now BFH is down?" and being met with a cold silence and then "nothing".

    I would love to play this game. The style looks nice, and I always have liked cartoony shooters - makes the game more fun.
