Battlefield Heroes - Introductory (FPS?) game

Well, I got BF Heroes the other day, and uninstalled it only an hour after.
The game is slow paced and awkward, especially for me, one who frequently plays BF2 and 2142. The 3rd person perspective made me lose my sense of direction at times. The inability to switch classes leads me to believe there is very little chance to adapt to a new situation, and the inability to sprint, while under fire takes away all sense of excitement.

In my opinion, it would seem this game is for the purpose of bringing people into the First Person Shooter genre (without much emphasis on the FIRST PERSON part), or into the Battlefield series altogether. For returning Battlefield fans, it may just seem like a waste of hard drive space.

It is a game generally aimed at children, yes. But it's also for the casual gamer, and gamers who don't want to care about competivity for a while. I myself enjoy playing this game, and think DICE has done a hell of a job with it. The game isn't meant to be fast paced, you can sprint (Gunner and Commando only, sadly).

Since when is 360MB (or there abouts) a waste of hard drive space? It's a quality game, and for a Free2Play, it deserves recognition.
