'Battlefield: Hardline. Arriving 2015

The power of EA advertising...

BF4 burned me. I will not be picking this up at launch. I'll be waiting for impressions first.

menace-uk- agrees with this post.


23 mins later......

That looked AWESOME!

The world seems like it is open world. The SP is shaped like a TV show with cliffhangers and all. Destruction, Guns, and Gadgets all look good. We now have Zipline and grappling hooks. Love the Starsky & Hutch inpsired bonnet slide. Levolution is in full effect, and the game features Cars, armured vehicles(SWAT type), boats, Planes, and Helicopters for both SP & MP.

Looks awesome. The online portion looks like what GTA 5 should have been.

This game is now locked on my Radar.
 
Looks like the Same Ole Sh!t to me, I mean its not bad but eh, i'll pick it up when its on sale.
 
Ugh why did they have to make me interested in a Battlefield game.
There's already to many game for me to get this year!

Looks ace :txbcool:
 
Lol.

Previous agreement still stands. I will not be buying day one no matter how much it impresses.

Damn straight. it does look interesting though. Good reviews and a good launch (from a technical issues perspective), and I'll pick it up down the line.
 
The ONLY thing that interests me about this game is that it looks like it could be more infantry centric. If that's the case and if they don't have premium (who am I kidding, right) then I'll get it after launch, when I'm sure it's in a solid, playable state.
 
If it's 64 player I'm most likely skipping. If it's a more manageable under 24 and under, I'm in.
Well, what if they do it like BF4 where you can choose on the server list the size you want?
 
Why use the "Battlfield" name when it's most likely for nothing than brand awareness. Doesn't EA own the SWAT franchise? Just make it the next iteration of that series. From the sounds of it the game is going to have little in common with the BF games people know.

I'm torn. It looks great but BF4 angered me a lot. It is one thing to have launch issues, but that game still doesn't run well on X1. The netcode is still quirky.
 
Not instabuy but I'll wait eagerly. SP looks like it will be worth it.

Btw, remember how Criterion/Ghost Games UK employees were reassigned to do a Battlefield game? I guess the leak explains it. Driving will be really fun!
 
The premise sounds awesome. Like others have said, hopefully it won't turn into a CODesce game. Hopefully it has a relatively smooth launch, otherwise it'll totally sully the BF name...
 
The SP looks kinda interesting and Viscreal do have a way of telling a story, but BF4 really burned me, it wasn't the on-line issues it's how messed up they made the grenades and the map design was just awful to be honest. Will keep an eye on this but I dunno know if it will be a day 1 for me.
 
Day one. Love the look of that. As for BF4 being unplayable don't make me laugh. Next gen would have been a joke without it. Problems yes but me and my mates have been playing since launch and had loads of fun. Talk about over exaggeration.
 
Like this as gives me Rainbow Six vibes and been awhile since we had one.

Running on X1 here without any issues.
 
They are fixing the net code on the PC version, doubt it will come to consoles.
 
Yeah, either I haven't had any issues, or I just don't notice? My version runs fine NOW. At first, pre-patch, I was losing my game saves... but that is a discussion for another time/thread.
Yup, I am glad they fixed those issues, at least on X1. I am sure they will use the same code for multiplayer for Hardline, which will make it a smoother transition.
 
The fact that it will allow people to play cops and robbers with that level of detail and fun, can't wait!

It needs to be full on tactical. We need to be able to plan our points of attack/defence. Our Exit/Entry method. We need to be able to set up a visual utilizing gadgets or already in place cameras. It needs to be tactical. Just putting 4 people in a car, driving to a bank, and storming in will get old fast.

Tactic tactics tactics, and they need to matter.
