Mar 18, 2015The Multiplayer is not a real cops vs. robbers game and despite the "Battlefield" on the cover it's not a real Battlefield anymore either.
It's a crippled Battlefield game with small maps (even in conquest "large"), horribly bad music and another step closer to the chaotic gameplay of the COD franchise. -
Apr 14, 2015Hardline is a pointless re-skin of BF4 with much worse graphics, poor map design, almost no vehicular combat, no destruction, fewer weapons and a few meaningless cop gimmicks. This is not worth your time and money, I would pick up BF4 instead, which has been drastically improved and is a much better game all around.

Aug 22, 2015the single player story is not enough interesting...cliche...different bugs...HUD and guides are badly represented...the loading pages take too long. I admire the new genre of "detective and criminals" and the courage to make a difference but it still sucks...boring game in single player mode. seriously they should reconsider about it.

Apr 3, 2015The Single player part is actually the best part of this game. Multiplayer is broken weapons are unbalanced everything is unbalanced. think dice made the game, but made it look like visceral made the game so they don't get all the criticism. and EA don't even get me started. oh could i come with alot of critics about you i wouldn't know where to actually start

Apr 18, 2015Played this game on the xbone at a friend's place; campaign was boring and multiplayer was a big step down from BF4. Not surprised but exasperated with the presence of weird network issues in this game. The gunfights while racing around in the vehicles was the only noteworthy thing about this game.
Hardline should have been a DLC and then people would not have minded too much it was bad. -

Mar 26, 2015This game is a RUSHed reskin of Battlefield 4, with less content. If you feel like paying 120 dollars for a premium version, don't and go buy 3 other games on sale on Steam because this is a big steaming pile of EA ****
-
Mar 17, 2015As mindless multiplayer shooter it's pretty good, as single player game... unspeakably bad. Single looks like game from 2008 and a B-movie. Awful and totally not worth any money.

Apr 20, 2015amazing how the killed the battlefield serrie with bf4 and then this great job ea turning it it to a B game serie ill only buy ea game when the go buget never ever pre order or pay full price for there stuff ...........

Mar 19, 2015This game is a combination of weak points of both Battlefield and CoD. From the battlefield they took low mobility and gunplay that is utterly boring in close quarters, and from CoD they took tiny closed quarters maps and retardedly low TTKs. The end result is something that you'd never want to play if you played either CoD:AW or BF4 previously.

Aug 10, 2018Boring, uninteresting campaign, multiplayer is basically bf4 but with less cool vehicles. The ball was dropped on this one.
-
Mar 17, 2015This game does nothing for me anyway. It's not fun. The gunplay is boring and the 'netcode' is still not improved. Honestly if it was 20 bucks I might say it's a buy, but at 60 dollars I would say pass on this one.
-
Mar 24, 2015It does not rate the asking price.
Single Player is decent, bordering on bad.
Multiplayer is decent, but I could just as well continue playing Battlefield 4.
It does not take the theme they brought in seriously. Its a a mix of Payday 2 and Battlefield.
While I still play it, I expect myself to return to Battlefield 4 before long due to a lack of variety. -

Dec 25, 2017One of the few games where I want to scream "Shut up and return my money back." This is what is it? How could you entrust the franchise to some clowns with a disgusting reputation? From Battlefield there is only a name.
-
Feb 9, 2021Probably, one of the weakest if not THE weakest BF franchise name holder. Got boring after few hours.

Mar 18, 2015My biggest issue is some of the maps are too small for 64 players. It turns into a big **** Some maps can be really fun though. I like it, but I just suck at it, so I can't play it for more than an hour or two without getting pissed.

Sep 27, 2021Omg what was I thinking? I gave this game a solid 10 back in 2015. NO. This game is a disaster. I think that I just wrote the review when I was playing the first hours of it. This game is something like Condition Zero was to CS, but poorly. The campaign is meh, the multiplayer, maps, gunfight, netcode, it's just not fun.

Aug 7, 2015I can't believe it had me spent 120€ for this game, it's lacking a lot of content to make up for its price tag ! thus making this game a cash grabbing trap from EA, not to mention the extreamly poor player count on the community in PC making servers 98% empty!
-
Mar 17, 2015Sadly, after playing for hours it has become very clear, this is just a DLC of BF4. I've got that sick to my stomach feeling, that realization that I've just wasted my hard earned money. I'm more disappointed in myself then with the developers. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Mar 23, 2015This is a goddamn DLC for full price ... WTF EA? And its badly designed. Grabbing cash is nowhere near as satisfying as in PayDay 2. Please play that instead.
-
Mar 19, 2015What a heist - but this time there are no cops to save the day.
A re-skin of BF4 but with worse graphics for some reason?!! And you get this for a jaw dropping $120.
I am no longer surprised at the theft and deception that EA now deploys. Unfinished games, Millions of $$ on marketing & advertising and bought / paid for reviews.
So sad. -
Mar 22, 2015Doesn't deserve the Battlefield title, it's not even made by DICE ffs. EA ruined Battlefield for good now along with C&C, The Sims, NFS, SimCity, Deadspace etc.
-
Aug 20, 2015This game is like any other tablet games it does not belong to the original battlefield series i regret for buy this ;/ i would like to stay playing in battlefield 4 at least u don't have to show ur stupid badge all the time and hit the right Button in the right moment to show what ? that you are smart and fast !! stupid game i can't play this anymore akhh
-
Mar 20, 2015Well the game is fun, but not worth it. The graphics are pretty simple (console oriented) and not good.
If EA need our money then make a battlefield 5!
I will stick with BF4. -
Jan 9, 2016Was a huge fan of the BF series, untill this turd came out. Now I'm a bit more cautious when buying BF games. It should've been DLC to BF4, and even than I would've skipped it.

Mar 24, 2015This game is Utter Crap and ****
They used the word "Battlefield" solely for the purpose of selling it to the battlefield community.
you know the digital deluxe edition is 120$... EA can suck my rod even then I wont buy this crap -
Mar 25, 2015Played Beta, and even then realized this was just a reskinning of BF4. Why would I pay $60 more for a game I already have? Don't waste your money on this series anymore. BF4 was the end.

Aug 25, 2015This could have easily been a BF4 DLC but they decided to sell it as a whole new game - with add ons such as premium even! Shame on you EA for this blantant money grab. The game mechanics play exactly the same and BF4. Same boring corridor shooter that BF4 is that tries too hard to compete with call of duty.
-
Aug 13, 2015I am a true fan of Battlefield, have loved every game up to Hardline..It simply makes me want to sell my gaming PC and give up gaming for good. Maybe I would have liked it if I was 14 years old..but that's not the case. I can't even finish the game..I tried playing it several times, all settings on ultra so I don't miss anything..but it's making me sad, even depressed sometimes so I gave up.

Mar 18, 2015the graphics are terrible for this game not worth $60 more like $10. does not fell like battlefield AT ALL. lots of frame rate drop and very boring gameplay.
-
Apr 18, 2015Annual noob shooters with regenerating healths and aimdownsights once again for the lowest common denomitor. They just released some military game already and now again greedying for new one, it's just ridiciolous how much corporations are greedy :D
Thank you very much and goodbye.. -
Apr 29, 2015Because I hate EA, and their microtransactions. Just pure and unfiltered passion of cold black fury and hate towards EA. Haven´t played the game, and never will, as long as they get my money, they wont change a thing.
-
Aug 17, 2015It could receive a 3 or 4 if there was no mention of the Battlefield name, since it has, it should be negative...
Battlefield 5 will have to be the greatest Battlefield game from all the times or the franchise might be over... -
Apr 1, 2015People from EA are clearly faking reviews or else there wouldn't be that much difference in the ratings.
BFH is a game where teams are almost always unfair bad servers and a story they tell like a TV show? srsly WTF? a TV show really EA????
The removed your options to destroy sh*t and most of the snipers deal like no damage at all.
This was a let down and everyone knows it. -
Aug 20, 2015I played only single player. The game is awful. The story line is generic and awful, as if taken from bad cop movies and TV shows. The whole game plays like an introduction. There is game play all too frequently interrupted by cut scenes and scripted, mini-game sequences.
Even when shooting, when the action gets "intense", the game is boring.
It's unplayable. -
Apr 17, 2015This is not Battlefield, at all. Doesn't fit for BF players cuz this is too CoD like, and doesn't fit for CoD players, cuz its is too complex for them. (They just wanna shoot around).
So this game is game is a fail. -

Mar 17, 2015Remember when games use to actually be fun and not just rage inducing?? If you can then don't buy this. Ready.. Set... Terrible.
Tried to enjoy it, but it's simply not fun. -
Mar 27, 2015Im deeply regretting buy this game once again, up until this day I bought every bf release and premium and I can say I enjoyed every single one of them. While BF hardline had a relatively smooth launch its a cash grab with a terrible progresion system and an awful single player campaign. If you re new to BF just get bf4 is at its best state at this moment but by all means avoid this cash grab

Mar 18, 2015EA employees are on metacritic now doing damage control/lying about the game. This game is bad it is a mod of Battlefield 4 they want to charge 120$ for. They broke the game up and took some features and added it to premium as a day one dlc. They mocked COD then copied it. EA we don't want COD we want goddamn Battlefield.

Mar 17, 2015Been playing for 15+ hours and I am completely bored. It really kicked as for the first 10 hours though, but holy **** the mp maps have no depth and are simply ugly and have no heart behind them. In fact this whole game feels so empty in that regard. Recycled regurgitated poor quality waste of time.
-
Mar 17, 2015Was really excited after playing the betas but god damn it this feels like MOH:Warfighter all over again. Such low quality through and through. The level design especially, they just feel and look so crappy. Don't make the same mistake I did. Wait till this game costs about $10.

Mar 20, 2015This game is complete crap!! I play it, and want to throw up!! The maps suck, and the game sucks! I wasted my money on this! If you want to play a GOOD heist game, go play Payday!!
-
Mar 20, 20151. This game is not for old players, who playing currently BF3(see online) and BF4, CS , or PayDay(which i dont play at all)
2. Downgrade in graphics. Cities, buildings, everything unnatural, not realistic.
3. Maps are boring. Starting from BFBC2 and BF3 maps downgraded to BF4, and now worse in BFHL.
4. THE PRICE. ARE YOU SICK? And Premium AGAIN?
5. Soon GTA 5 on PC, why would i buy a BFHL? -
Mar 22, 2015EA try to make this game like call of duty or black ups. When you kill an enemy you don't have the same feeling as the other battlefield series, the game does not have any tactics, just killing. the graphics are ok, not as realistic as the other games, is just the game play is different
-
Mar 22, 2015Dont need Skill in this Game...only one shoot deads. Spawns rly bad. very disappointed. Only a Battlefield 4 DLC. No more fun after 10 hours...........

Apr 3, 2015This Sh#t sucks, being a battlefield fan since Battlefield 1942. playing this lets me know they are using the bf franchise to try to make as much money as they can, this game sucked so bad, this **** is for 13 year old cop wanna be's grow the f up. demand more from your games, not pay 60,70 or even 120 for a game that should had been an expansion 15$.

Pelit (Finland)May 13, 2015Battlefield Hardline offers a fun single-player experience. Arresting suspects could have used some extra polish, as it's way too easy to manipulate the AI to surrender. The multiplayer mode is quite fun as well, but it suffers from lack of content and for the fact that it plays out like a stripped down version of Battlefield 4. The game's heritage aside, Battlefield Hardline is by no means a poor effort. [May 2015]
