    Been playing all day, and of course in the betas over the last few months, gotta say they really nailed it IMO. The hit detection is spot on, everything is really tight and responsive. The maps are varied, some are a bit smaller than Battlefield standard obviously, but each one is pretty much perfectly laid out.

    The modes are a blast, especially Hotwire which is just off the **** wall bonkers at times. Heists are great fun, and surprisingly the single player campaign is really well done as well. I'm only a few hours into the campaign but so far the story is compelling and the tactical and methodical nature of the single player is a refreshing diversion from the chaos of multiplayer.    … Expand

    I'll start with the positive. The single player experience was enjoyable compared to some of the other battlefield games even if it was a bit over the top, no real complaints there. The multi-player has some great game modes and unlocking weapons and upgrades via cash instead of a linear progression system is a nice change.

    Unfortunately the game play is probably the worst I have ever seen in the Battlefield franchise, mainly the TTK (Time to kill) is so extremely low that it removes any amount of fun or skill that might otherwise be required. Small maps, limited guns and poor balance also add to the frustration.

    To any shooter fan I would say avoid at all cost, this game is not worth the money and you would be much better off purchasing Battlefield 3 or 4 both of which are outstanding games.    … Expand

    The game gets stale really fast. The general look and feel of the game isn't very impressive. So for all the other people complaining about wasting their money on it you can head over to EA request a refund. You can get your money back if you didn't like the game within 24 hours of launching it for the first time. Hope that helps some people.
    overall game is ok, but not worth the money

    Battlefield Hardline does something new and the unique game modes are actually fun from day one.

After that, Heist and Blood Money will be a breeze, especially if you buy the K10 and the Armored insert combined with Gas Masks and Gas Grenades. The weapon licences take way too long to unlock and the faction weapons are distributed in favor of Criminal Operators, Cop Mechanics and Criminal Enforcers. RPG Trunk Upgrades for cars makes the car chases in Hotwire less enjoyable and the tactical map control is thrown out of the window. It is instead best played riding shotgun with the repair torch and a 40mm noob tube. This is awkwardly the best way to rank up and you can even play it with one hand. The singleplayer has some nice missions, but in the end it is too easy and the enemy character models are too similar to warrant the excessive use of uninspired takedown animations. With a lack of interesting stealth weapons (such as sleeping darts), the guns blazing approach becomes much more attractive. But this is pretty counter intuitive for a cop crime drama and it simply feels like you are playing against the Mirror's Edge AI with a Call of Duty loadout. With some multiplayer rebalancing of the obvious top weapons and some spawn fixes for TDM, Hardline could easily have gotten an 8 from me. If they had let us play the singleplayer as a dirty cop and double cross the entire cast of characters with cunning force, I could even have given the game a 9. But sadly it places us in the familiar shoes of the "rookie" good guy who gets shafted by the more interesting characters while the plot twitches almost as bad as the terrible motorcycles we get to drive in Multiplayer :)… Expand

    This one has so much better balancing gameplay, and it's a big step forward from Battlefield 4, we have to look at that, it's still not IT, it's still not the master Battlefield game we've been expecting, but the launch is so much better.

    If in the next Battlefield, hopefully Bad Company 3, they combine the gameplay and balancing from Hardline, and the graphics of Battlefield 4, it will be one of the best shooters ever.

    This game is like Payday 2, but with less awesome music and more open-ended murder.
    It's hard to call this a cops and robbers game where it's mostly just guys in ski masks and guys in tactical vests running around shooting eachother.

    Hotwire itself is probably the most played game, and is interesting until people get their hands on rocket launchers.

    It has enjoyable gunplay, but a very limited pool of guns that all feel the same. Reload animations are nice, to say a bit of a reverse nitpick.

    Battlefield Hardline certainly isn't a BAD game, but it's just a repackage of Battlefield 4. It'd be a standalone game if **** actually happened. Instead, as I opened with, it's two opposing teams running around shooting eachother. The game itself is solid, but putting objective based gameplay that forces you to actually help the team in a Battlefield game is like putting a guinea pig in a ballet.

    In short, again... Pick up Payday 2 if you want cops vs crims. Pick up GTA V if you want bloods vs crips, pick up Battlefield 4 if you want Battlefield. And bugs.    … Expand

    My main complains:
    Starting kits - they're terrible, so any new player is forced to grind money to grab any weapon that doesn't suck.

    Exclusive weapons that came with more expensive versions of the game. Currently you can't obtain those weapons in any other way.

    On top of that I'm a bit disappointed with the amount of weapons and ONCE AGAIN devs made the same mistake of mixing medic class with best available weapons, so everyone and their dog is runing an operator.    … Expand

    * The vehicles in mp are fun.
    * The new game modes are great. Blood Money, and Hotwire were both worthy additions.

    Cons:
    * Atrocious UI - Particularly in SP the creators felt they had to put a disgusting icon over anything you could interact with. Even worse is that the further you are away from it the larger the icon is on your screen. I felt they were trying to create the same awful UI from the Far Cry series. At least in Far Cry they give you the option to turn almost all of it off. This is a continuing tragedy among the FPS. They treat the players of a M rated series like monkeys, babying the user through the entire experience. My remedy to this was to use ui.drawenable 0 which removed all of the UI. Guess what, I was able to complete the entire game this way with no fuss.

    * The MP experience doesn't feel like battlefield. There is an overall lack of destructible objects. The first obvious disappointment was in Dust Bowl where the walls of all the buildings are invincible.
    * None of the weapons feel as powerful as they once had.
    * Players can take way too much damage in Hardcore.

    After giving the game 3 days to charm me, it hadn't, and I chose to return it. I will be waiting for a better release to spend my money on.    … Expand

    The multiplayer is like a double-edged sword. On one side you got all the refreshing approach by having new game modes, features, and gadgets.

But all the good aspects turn to dust if you compare it with Battlefield 4, a game that is immensely better in all aspects. This name, Battlefield, is a heavy name, full of great responsibilities, and that's exactly what killed Hardline. If this game wasn't detached from BF franchise and titled something like WAR ON DRUGS, it would be a huge hit for sure. But it was a bad idea, and the now empty servers show people are starting to notice this, a real shame. I wish I could play this game for some more months before flopping.    … Expand

    Battlefield Hardline is the new entry in the Battlefield series with a unique twist. Instead of doing the war between the US and some typical mean country, like Russia or China, we instead get a game about cops versus robbers. So, does the game hold up on it's own, or is this just a mod for Battlefield 4? Lets find out.

Instead of doing the war between the US and some typical mean country, like Russia or China, we instead get a game about cops versus robbers. So, does the game hold up on it's own, or is this just a mod for Battlefield 4? Lets find out.

    === Single Player ===

    3) The story in this game is basically a detective Television show in game format. You get the classic, cops versus drug cartel with a lot of predictable twists all around, but despite that, the story surprisingly well written. Every character in here is full of charm, with no exceptions. The story is really corny, but since it's clearly intended, it comes off as quirky good fun. There will be a lot of jokes that will actually make you laugh more than they should. For those who played it, the story is a lot more like Bad Company series than the old boring Battlefield Nuclear War stuff that no one cares about.

    4) Now, the game play on the story missions is actually pretty weird. While this is a Battlefield game, it should have actually been called Metal Gear Badge Flasher 2k15. Since we are playing a cop, the game is all about stealth arrests, and you literally get no points for killing people people in non silenced ways. So the only way to get heavy machine-gun unlocks and **** like that is to... be stealthy... Doesn't make much sense. So, while the game technically allows you to play however you want, most of the time you will just show up to a group of heavily armoured bandits, show them your badge, and they will politely drop their weapons and surrender, even when they outnumber you 3 to 1.

    Yeah, that makes no sense. In fact, this whole game makes no sense. But you know what? I was having fun the whole way. The game is bombastic, and they did a good job pacing the game, going back and forth between being a stealthy bastard and just going around in car chases with **** blowing around you every step of the way. If you switch your brain off, this will probably be the most enjoyable single player First Person Shooter you played in quite a while.

    === Multiplayer ===

    But, lets be real. You don't buy a Battlefield for the SinglePlayer Campaign. You want to check out the class based multiplayer action. Well, I'm happy to say that the core gameplay in multiplayer is still intact, and still the best around. Everything in this game just feel right. The guns feels heavy, not just stapler guns like something out of Call of Duty. They are also more balanced, so all types of guns are now viable. The new gadgets also mix up the game quite a bit, like the hookshot allowing you to reach higher places, for example. For all accounts, this is still one of the most polished multiplayer games to date, worthy of the Battlefield name. The game is more focused on infantry fights this time around, with vehicles having less of an impact in the game, mostly serving as a transport means. Be advised that heavy vehicles, like tanks and jets are out of the game, so if you liked those ones, this game might not be your jam.

    Since its a cops versus robbers game, they did some innovating game modes. Sure, the usual Conquest and Team Deathmatch are still in, but this is the first game in a long time that actually tries to mix it up with some truly unique gameplay experiences. Heist is a game where the criminals try to rob some place, like a bank, and take the money to an extraction point, while the cops just have to kill them. Its basically a new fresh twist on the old Rush mode. Hotwire is a game where you capture one of several vehicles, and it gets you points while you are moving fast, so you can either just pick one and ride around in circles, or better yet, just try to blow the **** out of your enemies. And finally, you also have the blood money mode, where both sides will have to capture a stash of money in the middle of the map, and you can rob each other.

    All of these modes are pretty fun and really new, and in my opinion, Visceral has to be commended by offering new stuff without just following the usual trend, but it also saddens me that true Rush and Capture the Flag modes are not available. Now what really surprised me, especially in Hardline, was the inclusion of some more Esports focused game modes. Rescue has the cops saving a hostage and taking them to an extraction zone, while the criminals have to hold out until the time runs out or just murder all the cops. Crosshair has the cops escorting a VIP criminal to a extraction zone, while the criminals have to kill the VIP. The twist here is that the VIP is actually a random player from the Cops, and it has a pimping golden desert eagle, so the VIP is able to defend himself. Both of these game modes offer no respawns after death and function in a wave based gameplay.

    I think EA should change their Premium model ... people paying that much seems to want the game to include all DLCs AT LAUNCH, not 1 year later and I can understand.
    Let's say you play the game intensively for the first 4 months but you can only play the first DLCs, the game becomes boring and you leave the game and never return to it and the community dies and the game gets bad reviews    I think EA should change their Premium model ... people paying that much seems to want the game to include all DLCs AT LAUNCH, not 1 year later and I can understand.
    Let's say you play the game intensively for the first 4 months but you can only play the first DLCs, the game becomes boring and you leave the game and never return to it and the community dies and the game gets bad reviews and next time EA will sell less because people will remember.

    I paid a few bucks for it 1 year after it was released, and for that price, it's a good game ...
    Unfortunately, the online community on PC is small.
    Imho, if you think of all the maps included with Premium + the campaign (8h), there is enough content to justify 50$ at least, but maybe not 120$.
    I really like the soundtrack (hiphop) for the campaign and I like that to play Battlefield in a modern environment (not like BF1).
    The actors rendering is quite impressive in the campaign mode.

    Here are a few annoying things I found :
    - low FPS (about 15) in everglades and a few others area even with GTX1060 !! (campaign) .. I decided to lower my score by 10% because of it, it's almost unplayable in these zones
    - can't change the key binding for Q in campaign (does not work)
    - searching for clues using Q
    - similarities with Assasins Creed    … Expand

    The campaign mode, like the criminal television series, may be likeable. A new feature is the system of arrest. Good idea, poor implementations. Multiplayer game similar to what we saw in BF3/BF4 but it seems more dynamic. In addition to the classic game modes like TDM or Conquest, added new modes, of which only the 'Blood Money' mode is worthwhile IMO.

    Battlefield Hardline tries hard to find an innovative path for the series, but the game's poor execution sadly resulted in a bland and relatively average experience.

    this game is fun i had a ton of fun on the beta and if it was a cheaper game/mod for bf4 it would be worth it but as a slightly upgraded version of bf4 with an unnecessary campaign and a mp that feels like fifa with how copy pasted it feels with 1 new gamemode (idk if they added new modes since the beta) i would prefer a mappack with some new guns insted of a new game. 5/10 for a fun butthis game is fun i had a ton of fun on the beta and if it was a cheaper game/mod for bf4 it would be worth it but as a slightly upgraded version of bf4 with an unnecessary campaign and a mp that feels like fifa with how copy pasted it feels with 1 new gamemode (idk if they added new modes since the beta) i would prefer a mappack with some new guns insted of a new game. 5/10 for a fun but copy pasted mp and a fun but unnecessary campaign… Expand

    Its a good shooter that tries to be different from other shooters with a single-player campaign that is more of a stealth-action game while the multiplayer does its best to be unique. Not for hardcore shooter fans but perfect for those who want something different.

    Услышал много похвалы от людей за сюжетную часть игры. Прошел и в итоге остался разочарован. Сюжет откровенно слаб, понравилось только пару миссий и хорошая кастомизация оружия. В мультиплеер не играл, но думаю, он вполне вытягивает игру со дна хотя бы на нормальный уровень.Услышал много похвалы от людей за сюжетную часть игры. Прошел и в итоге остался разочарован.

    My review is limited to the Campaign due to no multiplayer servers in my country. I bought the game at a high discount just for the "single player", so no problem about it.

    I was looking for something different to war games and a fun FPS game that brings some action and a good story. The narrative is simple and has no innovation but entertaining enough, some good packed action scenes too. Most of the game is played in a silent/spy/cop/ninja style, but if you want to play in rambo mode you can do it too.

    The game has less scripted scenes compared to other games and the visuals quality do not match the level of Battlefield 3 or 4.

    The criminal capture gameplay is a little repetitive and even if the beginning is promising the game gets boring in time.

    The mechanics are a little simplistic and it repeats trough the whole game, arrest everyone, do not activate the alarm, disable the alarm, get evidence over and over and over.... repetitive too.

    A linear story, with repetitive mechanics and not much action, too much criminal capture.

    Most of the scenarios are good looking, but the level design is very poor and there is not much to do in the levels to complete an episode... just arrest everyone and get out... and arresting criminals is not as fun as it should be.    … Expand

    Comentarios: A jogabilidade é boa, porém o jogo é mal balanceado. Há apenas dois servidores, injoaveis, inclusive. Totalmente abandonado pela EA há tempos.
    A campanha é legal, apesar de não ser nada realmente acima da media.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Battlefield Hardline ortalamanın altında bir Birinci Şahıs Nişancı oyunu. Battlefield Hardline diğer Battlefield oyunlarının aksine askeri değil polisiye bir oyun olarak karşımıza çıkıyor. Oyunun hikayesinden bahsedeyim. Oyunda Nick Mendoza isimli bir polisi kontrol ediyoruz. İlk olarak ortağı Stoddard ile birkaç görev yapan Nick, daha sonra görevlerine amiri Dawes'ın isteği üzerine Dedektif Khai ile devam eder. Khai ile birlikte Miami'deki uyuşturucu ticaretinin başındaki kişilerden Tyson'ı yakalama görevini alan Nick, Khai ile birlikte Tyson'ın mekanına gider ancak mekanı başka suçlular basar. Suçluları hallettikten sonra Khai ve Nick, Tyson'ın orada olmadığını öğrenir, ardından Tyson'ın evine giderler. Fakat burası da basılır ve çıkan çatışmada Khai omzundan vurulur. Bir yandan Khai'ın kan kaybetmemesi için kanamayı durdurmaya bir yandan da düşmanlarla çatışmaya çalışan Nick en sonunda bütün düşmanları öldürür. Aradan bir süre geçtikten ve Khai iyileştikten sonra Dawes, Khai ile Nick'i odasına çağırır. Dawes, Khai ile Nick'e Leo adındaki birini yakalama görevi verir, Leo'nun şehirdeki uyuşturucu trafiği hakkında bilgisi olduğunu ve operasyonda onlara yardımcı olabileceğini söyler. Leo yakalandıktan sonra konuşur ve uyuşturucuların uçaklardan paket halinde bir bataklığa atıldığını söyler, atılan uyuşturucu paketleri daha sonra suçlular tarafından teslim alınmaktadır. Operasyonu gerçekleştiren Khai ile Nick, burada Neltz diye birini yakalar ve Neltz onlara Stoddard ile anlaşma yaptığını, bu yüzden onu tutuklayamayacaklarını söyler, ardından da kaçar. Böylece Stoddard'ın kirli bir polis olduğu ortaya çıkar. Nick, Stoddard'ın peşine düşer ve tam onu yakalamak üzereyken Khai telsizden fırtına çıktığını ve bir alışveriş merkezinde mahsur kaldığını söyler. Stoddard ve Nick, Khai'ı kurtarmaya giderler. Khai'ı kurtardıktan sonra Nick, Stoddard'ı tutuklar fakat Dawes gelir ve Nick'e onu bırakmasını söyler, Khai da Nick'e silah doğrultur. Daha sonra Dawes'ın da kirli bir polis olduğu ortaya çıkar. Dawes, Nick'e tuzak kurmuştur ve ona evinde 33 bin dolar bulunacağını, bu paranın da Neltz'in son transfer ettiği miktar ile aynı olduğunu söyler. Nick hapiste 3 yıl geçirdikten sonra başka bir hapishaneye nakledildiği sırada Tyson gelir ve Nick'in bulunduğu otobüse saldırdıktan sonra Nick'in kaçmasını sağlar. Nick kaçtıktan sonra Tyson ile bir su kulesinde buluşur ve sonra araba ile Khai gelir. Khai, Nick'e ona ihanet etmediğini ve onun gibi kendisinin de Dawes'ı bitirmek istediğini söyler. Nick, Tyson ve Khai, Dawes'ın izini sürdükten sonra onun bulunduğu binaya saldırı düzenlemeyi düşünürler ve tam plan yaparken bulundukları yer Stoddard ve adamları tarafından basılır, daha sonra Nick, Stoddard'ı vurarak öldürür. Binaya saldırmak için yola koyulan ekip orada Dawes'ı bulamaz, fakat Dawes, Nick ile iletişime geçerek ona bulunduğu yeri söyler. Dawes'ın bulunduğu adaya tek başına giden Nick, Dawes'ın adamlarını öldürdükten sonra ofisine girer ve Dawes'ı da öldürür. O sırada Nick masadaki notu fark eder ve okur. Mektupta odada gizli bir yer olduğu ve o yerdeki kasada bulunan servetin artık Nick'in olduğu yazmaktadır. Nick odaya gider ve hikaye sonlanır. Hikaye olarak oyun oldukça zayıf ve pek akılda kalıcılığı yok. Sunum olarak Hardline'ı yer yer Battlefield 4'e göre daha başarılı bulsam da öyle aman aman bir kalitesi yok. Hikaye çok kısa ve alelacele hazırlanmış gibi, özellike Stoddard'ın ölümü aniden gerçekleşiyor ve böyle olunca da olay akılda kalıcılığını yitiriyor. Karakterlere gelirsek oyunda Alexandra Daddario'nun oynadığı bir karakter bulunuyor, her ne kadar onu çok kısa süreliğine görme şansımız olsa da bu detay hoşuma gitti. Onun dışında aklımda kalan başka bir karakter yok, geriye kalan karakterler pek akılda kalıcı değildi. Oynanış konusunda oyun neredeyse Battlefield 4'ün aynısı diyebilirim. Vuruş hissiyatı fena değil, silah kullanımı ve çeşitliliği önceki oyunda olduğu gibi yeterli seviyede. Silah özelleştirmeleri daha kapsamlı hale gelmiş, modifiye edilmiş ve edilmemiş silahlar arasındaki fark hissediliyor. Yapay zeka fena değil, çok iyi değil ama yeterlı seviyede. Bölüm tasarımı olarak oyun genel olarak sıkıcı, birkaç bölüm dışında çoğu bölüm ruhsuz görünüyor. Grafiksel olarak önceki oyun ile aynı sayılır, ben bir gelişme göremedim. Performans olarak da oyun gayet stabil. Oyunu oynarken birçok küçük hata ile karşılaştım, çok büyük hatalar olmasa da birkaç defa karşılaşınca oyuncu atmosferden kopuyor. Battlefield Hardline seriye bir yenilik getirmediği gibi Battlefield havasından uzak ve önceki oyunun genişleme paketi havasında bir yapım.… Expand

    Battlefield 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]
