They affect the soundtrack. I'd love to see it where whena hero dies the music becomes sad.... Then he respawns 30 seconds later.
Will heroes be their own class or be any class?

As I understand it heroes and elite classes are separate things. The elite assult class gets the MKB etc, but you don't necessarily have to be a hero to chose the elite class. The hero status is aesthetic, plus gives a morale boost to your teammates. Possibly the heroes will select class first, or you need a certain hero status to unlock classes? I might be wrong though, just the impression I got from the videos.
No, the soundtrack is based on how well or bad your team is doing, it has nothing to do with the heroes AFAIK.
So one guy per team gets the MKB?
Lame....
I'd like to see it as a rarity, I AM NOT COMPARING RO TO COD but I liked how in COD UO there were FG42's but they were extremely rare, they had to be picked up on an MP map, now in HOS people should spawn with the MKB but it should be very rare, like a hero who happens to pick elite class.
I actually like the mkb being a class, as it means as well that there can never be more than 1 at the same time.
Yeah, but still you should have to be a hero playing as elite assault, because I don't think its realistic for there to be 1 MKB guy per 3 MP40's....
Im guess that there will be a lot more smgs available on average. next to that its not realistic to have a scoped rifle for every 16th soldier either.
In most of the 50 player servers you have like 3 bolt action rifleman per team and the rest got smg's, semis, mg's snipers, squad leader etc. That's not really realistic either as most people should be equipped with a bolt.

Yes there can. Hero with mkb dies, someone else picks up the mkb, then hero respawns with new mkb.
Ehm, are the hero classes purely cosmetic? Or are there advantages involved? because seriously...thats not right.

If you are killing 10,000 people for every 1 death. Why should you get the granny bazooka 5000 nade-o-matic incineration AoE rifle. Your grizzly appearance shows you that your already a total annihilation freak with a pistol. Why give them the advantage.
If its purely cosmetic then...okay. cool. Everyone is fighting on equal footing.
Lets not CoD/BF/MAG it up.

HOS will have limits depending on how many guys are in a server, so a full team of 32 might be able to have 2 MG's while the team of 16 only gets 1.
OBH, you do have a way with words!
Anyway, we'll all have a Hero ability from the start (self-healing).
Btw, any official word on the OP's questions?

This is exactly what I came in here to say. The only problem this poses is people only caring about their rank/scores. But that can be solved by basing rank on equal parts teamwork and combat skills (k/d). The occasions of seeing one of the top say maybe 5% of total RO players pop into your server would seem like a much more awesome presence than 1 hero per team. I really love this idea so much. I'd love a dev's thoughts on this.
Just to add, if heroes were a top percentage then you'd know for sure they were skilled instead of merely putting their time in to rank up. That would be the difference between merely a veteran (elite rank) who has experience and a real hero who is extremely skilled. This seems to be more interesting for game reasons while also being more realistic (ie fresh recruits who are noobs, experienced RO players who are veterans, and then the best of the best, rare "hero" RO players).
Thoughts? Is this in ideas and suggestions already?

Yes I agree with this, I think your score on the leaderboard should coordinate with your rank....
Players in the 25% lowest section should be recruits.
Players in the 50% middle section should be "regular" soldiers, not fresh but not real grizzled either.
Players in the 20% higher section should be veterans, more grizzled.
Players in the top 5% should be hero's, really grizzled.
On top of that I think that....
Hero's should get first pick of all classes.
Veterans should get second pick of classes including tanks, marksmen, and elite classes, but only command classes that are left over from the hero's.
Regulars should get third pick of classes including support classes (MG, AT, engineer) but only higher classes that are left over from veterans.
Recruits should get fourth pick of classes limited to riflemen and assault and only get whatever specialty classes are left over.
Yeap thats really gunna bring more new players in aint it, make it so they'er at bottom of heap
Limit there choices of weapons put em at real big disadvantage
that'll encourge em to stay.
I hope the hero thingy's very suttle at most, if it starts to give better players who really dont need an adavantage over lesser players one, it'll drive people away rather than pull em in. If we want the comminuty to grow then there needs to be incentives for new players to stick at it, there's a step lerning curve to RO as it is, and many dont stick long enough to learn it.
I'm not saying make easy, just dont make it harder than it needs be
Well maybe I tried overexplaining it, I think higher ranks should get first pick of classes but lower ranks should still be able to be those classes if they're not taken up.
Well i like the idea of Heroes being base on the whole community and their only being so many at a time. I thought they would be a good counter balance to rank grinders. I know some people don't like the fact that who even can load the fastest gets to pick the specialized classes in OF. What is going to happen if it is based on how much time you played the game? From what i got from being a Hero it is going to take into account your current skills so rank won't be a factor. For this reason i hope the heroes are in each server and those who are doing better at the moment get a chance to pick a class first.
The one thing i hate most about RPGs is the fact that someone gets to be more powerful not because they are more skilled but because of how much time they spend grinding.
