Hehe didnt know this would get so many replies! Anyway methinks me is going to persuade eGO to look into a division and maybe hmm... preordering a server and getting 16 beta keys to give to our members? Hehe, also if you dont have a beta key, you can get one within one week! Its explained by the OP in the OP!
Yes its a fun game but people dont have a lot of teamwork in it. Also, some people think, "three classes, meh, what variety is there?" Well, like in WoW or other MMO's, you can "spec" your character by putting... erm... points into MMO-like abilities. I cant give away info as this is a closed beta, but the site battlefieldheroes.com has some nice dev blogs and news updates. Read the dev blogs starting from last page going to most recent, and you'll know the game front and back, and doesnt take that long to read them!
This game is not a "hardcore" game either. Its more about, well, I will quote their trailer, "Fun, accessibilty, and not getting shot in the face repeatidly by a swearing, ultra-skilled 15 year old boy who plays the game for 8 hours a day." But, its easy to really get into this game and get totally in the "zone" as I call it.
This game is very easy and simple for beginners, and as you go along and level up your character, there are choices to make and points to spend and the learning curve has a gradual increase.
Each class has at least 10 different strategies/playtypes that just I can come up with, and that is more backing-up for my point against the people who say 3 classes isnt enough. Each class has so much it can do, and you can mix and match the weapons, skills, etc. to fit how you want to play the game.

Did anyone else mention that although you can join servers through your friends, by default you automatically get matched against players of a similar skill level to you? Well, now someone mentioned it 
Also, why the heck didn't they just put this on Steam? It's made by EA who already has games on Steam, is automatically updated like Steam games, you add friends and can join games through them like Steam... and they made it so that you have to open another program to play even though the game's already on your PC. Seriously, it's like EA just made mini, browser-based Steam for one specific game.
Update:
I played the game some more today, and it reminded me why I play eGO servers in any games possible. People arguing for no reason at all, swearing more than I thought humanly possible, etc. And the playerbase in general (at least in this beta) is pretty bad. Your worst enemies are practically your teammates; they're constantly running away with the vehicles and pulling all kinds of dumb stuff like that (really frustrating when your team gets pushed back to the first spawn point, some idiot drives away with the only vehicle, and he's the only one in it >_>)
Hopefully the official release has better options for choosing servers, because apparently most people of my skill level are losers.
Oh, and most of the time this happened, I did at least close to the best on the team anyway. Shows where selfishness gets you XD
