DICE lists new features coming to Battlefield Heroes

Battlefield Heroes has some new features coming, and DICE has listed each one of 'em along with two new screen from the Coastal Clash map pack.

Here is the full thing pulled from the official site:

• Friends: Add your friends so you can always see when they're on-line. From your friends list, you'll be one click away from directly joining them.

• Leaderboards: They're back! See how you stack up with thousands of other players and fight your way to the top. There's a whole range of different stats you can look up and compare.

• Groups: Create and join your very own Group, complete with avatar and group banner! Each group also has its very own, unique leaderboard, so you can compete with just your friends.

• Player and Hero search: Find (or stalk) your frenemies with our new search features. Find out what Missions someone is currently on, what Abilities they're using and loads more.

• Permanent items: ALL appearance items and emotes that can be bought with Battlefunds are now available permanently! Don't want to "rent" an item? You don't have to anymore.

• Code redemption: Be on the lookout for special, promotional codes which you can redeem on the Heroes site for Battlefunds or very cool, exclusive items.

• Improved Store: Now easier to use: the BFH Store will show every item once, and by hovering over or clicking on it you'll be able to see all the different price options, as well as durations that are available for that item.

• Punk, Busted!: Yes, PunkBuster is here! Cheaters and hackers beware!

• Reporting players: Find a misbehaving player by Hero(in-game) name or by their player(web display) name and report them!
