Joystiq posted a new hands-on preview with Battlefield Heroes from EA’s Spring event in San Francisco last night. Gamers Hell also posted up a new screenshot shown below.
We went back to create our own character and Grondal explained that the number of slots that were open was something that would be unlocked by leveling up. Leveling up will also give you special "hero" abilities (think perks in Call of Duty 4) and open new missions, but it won’t necessarily make you a more powerful player. That’s good, because the micro-transaction driven game will allow you to purchase double-XP, so in theory you couldn’t buy your way into a better character. "There are no game-altering items," Grondal assures us. In fact, he tells us the whole issue of game-altering items was dealt with by the Heroes team before the recent Bad Company kerfluffle.
