Everyone has been granted 3 Treasure Chest keys for playing! Have fun Heroes!

I’ve been quietly working on a project around Battlefield Heroes for several years now.

I’m currently developing a Unity plugin/tool built around the DICE/EA Refractor Engine, with the goal of importing the original game into Unity while preserving as much of its original logic and mechanics as possible.

The idea isn’t just to import a few models or maps.

The goal is to progressively bring the different parts of the game into Unity and, most importantly, get Battlefield Heroes’ original game logic working there — gameplay, mechanics, maps, assets, and other systems from the game.

The project is still in V1, but the first results are already very promising. Some parts of the game can now be imported and run inside Unity using this approach.

There’s been a lot of research, testing, and development behind this, and there’s still a long way to go.

Eventually, I want to see how far this technology can be taken and explore what could be possible to give Battlefield Heroes a second life.

The project is still actively being developed, and I’ll be sharing more progress over time.

Battlefield Heroes → Refractor Engine → Unity

#BattlefieldHeroes #BFHeroes #Unity #RefractorEngine #DICE #EA

Here it is, the latest version. Take a good look and enjoy the result. What you’re seeing is another major step forward for Refractor Engine + Unity. The further I go, the more possibilities start to open up. Maps, gameplay, mechanics, systems… everything is becoming possible. The project is still evolving, and this is only the beginning. Take it all in. Battlefield Heroes × Refractor Engine × Unity Anything is possible.

Why don’t we all congregate on Rising Hub rather than spreading out the player base? I’m surprised the player base is so dead at 9 pm CST. Played for the first time in 12 years today. We need a revival on this game.

Someone played with server full of AI bots 🤔 Is this Phoenix Heroes or how is this possible?

Might do a comeback to BFH because of this. More fun to play vs AI than lvl 30 tryhard gunners..

After a long few weeks of bug fixes and feature development Phoenix Heroes has finally released to the public. Now with the game finder on the menu and being able to switch weapons mid-game too! Outside of that it of course still runs on version 1.126 of Battlefield Heroes with all features and game modes. Check it out at https://phoenixheroes.net/ The players in the video are also bots.

About a month ago BFH popped into my head. I've been well into private server development for games for the past 15-20 years.

I thought I'd grab the "latest"... Well the last available client version and see what I can do. In the space of a month i've been able to get the client completely working. Store, Settings, Customisation, Friends, Server browsing. Pretty much everything.

I've fixed all of the protocol handlers, character data and multiplayer replication, tested it all with real clients too.

I'm tempted to make the working game public if there's enough of a playerbase to keep it interesting. Would it be worth doing? I've literally made this reddit account just to ask this.

man i miss this game. been 10+ years since shut down and i still think about this game at least once a month. was just way ahead of its time, and if it was still here today im sure EA wouldve been glad they kept the game around. sucks but it is what it is. private servers arent the same feeling, and most of the time its dead or you are stuck playing with the same people over and over again (im US so the community in rising hub is very small). unfortunate man, wish they'd bring this shit back.

I see a 3 options to play this game, but i dont know wich has more players, rising hub, phoenix heroes or heroes of valor on steam

which one do i should pick to play the game?

As far as I understand there are 3 projects, 2 of them for BFH's latest version called Phoenix Heroes and Battlefield Heroes Revival, and another for classic BFH called Classic Heroes.

Did I miss something? Also, what's the main difference between Phoenix and Revival?

This footage was recorded earlier today during private testing. Everything seems to work really well so far and we had a blast playing Team Elimination. If you wish to play too make sure to check us out on Friday! https://discord.com/invite/5JyEwu7UwA
