    Just started playing this on game pass. I played it too late. The graphics are great, absolutely incredible for 2015. The story is decent, and the gameplay is extremely fun in single player and multiplayer. Extremely underrated game.

    Cannot be played - downloaded it, tried to launch the game, forces me to go to some **** webpage, so it's not even launching via the goddamn EA Play app, and when I try to launch the campaign via the webpage where EA Play app forced me to go, it tells me I don't have the game installed.

    Yeah, you can f-ck right off, EA.

    The game is another solid battlefield game with a cop's and robbers theme. The campaign is a fun, silly, action packed cop movie and I really enjoyed it.

    Omg 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.

    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 Ƨıkıyor. Oyunun hikayesinden bahsedeyim. Oyunda Nick Mendoza isimli bir polisi kontrol ediyoruz. İlk olarak ortağı Stoddard ile birkaƧ gƶrev yapan Nick, daha sonra gƶrevlerine amiri Dawes'ın isteği üzerine Dedektif Khai ile devam eder. Khai ile birlikte Miami'deki uyuşturucu ticaretinin başındaki kişilerden Tyson'ı yakalama gƶrevini alan Nick, Khai ile birlikte Tyson'ın mekanına gider ancak mekanı başka suƧlular basar. SuƧluları hallettikten sonra Khai ve Nick, Tyson'ın orada olmadığını öğrenir, ardından Tyson'ın evine giderler. Fakat burası da basılır ve Ƨıkan Ƨatışmada Khai omzundan vurulur. Bir yandan Khai'ın kan kaybetmemesi iƧin kanamayı durdurmaya bir yandan da düşmanlarla Ƨatışmaya Ƨalışan Nick en sonunda bütün düşmanları ƶldürür. Aradan bir süre geƧtikten ve Khai iyileştikten sonra Dawes, Khai ile Nick'i odasına Ƨağırır. Dawes, Khai ile Nick'e Leo adındaki birini yakalama gƶrevi verir, Leo'nun şehirdeki uyuşturucu trafiği hakkında bilgisi olduğunu ve operasyonda onlara yardımcı olabileceğini sƶyler. Leo yakalandıktan sonra konuşur ve uyuşturucuların uƧaklardan paket halinde bir bataklığa atıldığını sƶyler, atılan uyuşturucu paketleri daha sonra suƧlular tarafından teslim alınmaktadır. Operasyonu gerƧekleştiren Khai ile Nick, burada Neltz diye birini yakalar ve Neltz onlara Stoddard ile anlaşma yaptığını, bu yüzden onu tutuklayamayacaklarını sƶyler, ardından da kaƧar. Bƶylece Stoddard'ın kirli bir polis olduğu ortaya Ƨıkar. Nick, Stoddard'ın peşine düşer ve tam onu yakalamak üzereyken Khai telsizden fırtına Ƨıktığını ve bir alışveriş merkezinde mahsur kaldığını sƶyler. Stoddard ve Nick, Khai'ı kurtarmaya giderler. Khai'ı kurtardıktan sonra Nick, Stoddard'ı tutuklar fakat Dawes gelir ve Nick'e onu bırakmasını sƶyler, Khai da Nick'e silah doğrultur. Daha sonra Dawes'ın da kirli bir polis olduğu ortaya Ƨıkar. Dawes, Nick'e tuzak kurmuştur ve ona evinde 33 bin dolar bulunacağını, bu paranın da Neltz'in son transfer ettiği miktar ile aynı olduğunu sƶyler. Nick hapiste 3 yıl geƧirdikten sonra başka bir hapishaneye nakledildiği sırada Tyson gelir ve Nick'in bulunduğu otobüse saldırdıktan sonra Nick'in kaƧmasını sağlar. Nick kaƧtıktan 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 sƶyler. 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 ƶldürür. Binaya saldırmak iƧin yola koyulan ekip orada Dawes'ı bulamaz, fakat Dawes, Nick ile iletişime geƧerek ona bulunduğu yeri sƶyler. Dawes'ın bulunduğu adaya tek başına giden Nick, Dawes'ın adamlarını ƶldürdükten sonra ofisine girer ve Dawes'ı da ƶldürür. 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 oldukƧa zayıf ve pek akılda kalıcılığı yok. Sunum olarak Hardline'ı yer yer Battlefield 4'e gƶre daha başarılı bulsam da ƶyle aman aman bir kalitesi yok. Hikaye Ƨok kısa ve alelacele hazırlanmış gibi, ƶzellike Stoddard'ın ƶlümü aniden gerƧekleşiyor ve bƶyle olunca da olay akılda kalıcılığını yitiriyor. Karakterlere gelirsek oyunda Alexandra Daddario'nun oynadığı bir karakter bulunuyor, her ne kadar onu Ƨok kısa süreliğine gƶrme 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 Ƨeşitliliği ƶnceki oyunda olduğu gibi yeterli seviyede. Silah ƶzelleştirmeleri daha kapsamlı hale gelmiş, modifiye edilmiş ve edilmemiş silahlar arasındaki fark hissediliyor. Yapay zeka fena değil, Ƨok iyi değil ama yeterlı seviyede. Bƶlüm tasarımı olarak oyun genel olarak sıkıcı, birkaƧ bƶlüm dışında Ƨoğu bƶlüm ruhsuz gƶrünüyor. Grafiksel olarak ƶnceki oyun ile aynı sayılır, ben bir gelişme gƶremedim. Performans olarak da oyun gayet stabil. Oyunu oynarken birƧok küçük hata ile karşılaştım, Ƨok büyük hatalar olmasa da birkaƧ defa karşılaşınca oyuncu atmosferden kopuyor. Battlefield Hardline seriye bir yenilik getirmediği gibi Battlefield havasından uzak ve ƶnceki oyunun genişleme paketi havasında bir yapım. Expand

    Al principio lo detesté porque pensaba (y sigo pensando en parte esto) que debía ser una expansión del Battlefield 4 y no un juego independiente. Pero con el tiempo me pareció de los Battlefield mÔs divertidos que he jugado, por encima de Battlefield 4 y Battlefield 1, a pesar de ser spin off.
    El modo historia estÔ bastante bien pensado, es como un estilo peliserie: Cuando retomas desde la última vez te pone un resumen de lo que has hecho hasta ese momento en cinemÔticas, lo mismo cuando sales del juego te pone qué es lo que vendrÔ. Muy interesante ese detalle. No es memorable el modo historia y tiene bastante sigilo (algo que no me simpatiza), pero creo que estÔ bien logrado logrando ese toque de película de Hollywood de acción policial promedio. Los personajes dejan que desear.
    El multijugador: De lo mÔs divertido que he jugado en un juego de disparos. No sólo porque la precisión de tiros es muy buena (buen netcode), sino también por la variedad de personalización, armas, vehículos y mapas. Con respecto a los mapas, los que vienen de base no son tan buenos y lamentablemente son los únicos hasta hoy (y sólo unos pocos) que tienen jugadores. Lamentablemente nunca supieron vender el producto para que se mantuviese vivo como Battlefield 4. Los mapas de las expansiones estÔn muy buenas, pero por pensar sólo en dinero dividieron a la base de jugadores aislando en servidores a gente que pagó de los que no. Por ende, los mapas de las expansiones que son de lo mejor del juego estÔn muertos. Fue muy divertido mientras duró. Ahora no sólo que casi no hay jugadores en los mapas base, sino que cuando consigues enganchar a x hora, te toca jugar con latencia alta y con jugadores veteranos que te sacan demasiada ventaja, por ende lo considero definitivamente muerto (esto ya es así desde hace mÔs de 3 años).
    En resumen: Es una pena que este juego tenga el multijugador muerto, pues es de lo mejor de Battlefield en este sentido y supieron adaptarlo a la perfección al campo de batalla urbano.
    Modo historia decente no rejugable.
    Consejo: NO COMPRAR si quieren jugar multijugador. Sólo a precio muy, muy bajo la edición estÔndar para modo campaña.

    In terms of the single player, I would actually go as far as to say that this is one of the, if not the most refined campaign experience in the history of Battlefield.

The fact that you actually get levels for playing strategically, that hunting for collectibles is so fun and interesting, and that it is structured like a series, with very well developed characters and a multi-faceted plot, makes it awesome, in my opinion. The story is particularly interesting and full of twists and turns, keeping you interested all the time. Besides, if you try to hunt for achievements as well, the campaign alone can offer up to 13-14 hours of content.

    As for the multiplayer, it's nothing special. It's not terrible, but apart from a few new game modes and weapons, it is just more of the same. If you're simply looking for a fun multiplayer, you might be better off going to BF4 (if you want a modern setting), BF1, or even the controversial BFV, which all offer a better experience, particularly considering that Hardline only gets a few hundred players per month at most.

    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.

    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.

    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

    This game has got awesome graphics, big open world, optimization is better than in BattleField 4 and average storyline in Grand Theft Auto Style, but better . In this game must play for cops . Amazing Shooter, much better than Call of Duty Black Ops III or last BattleField and I think BattleField Hardline is best game in series and I very wait BattleField 1 . Very amazing and awesome .

    Battlefield Hardline is amazing fun, but was poorly received by the traditional Battlefield players, especially those who were PC players. Therefore, the game has a very low player count on PC, especially when compared against PS4 and Xbox One. That being said, I own the game for all three platforms and have Premium for the PC version.

    For starters, the game does not play at all like
    Battlefield Hardline is amazing fun, but was poorly received by the traditional Battlefield players, especially those who were PC players. Therefore, the game has a very low player count on PC, especially when compared against PS4 and Xbox One. That being said, I own the game for all three platforms and have Premium for the PC version.

    For starters, the game does not play at all like BF4. BF4 favors teamwork/collaboration in order to succeed and is very vehicle-oriented; infantry players typically do not fair well against enemies who stay in tanks/helis the entire game. BFH, on the other hand, favors infantry, run-and-gun, style gameplay. Yes, there are helicopters and trucks with heavy guns, but they are not as overwhelming as in BF4.

    Hardline plays as if Call of Duty and BF4 had a baby. It's fast-paced and action packed and solo players (such as myself) can typically have no problem doing well.

    I'm a bit salty that I paid for Premium on PC, but can't play the DLC maps because of the limited player count. There are typically 1 or 2 servers running the DLC up to a week after the DLC is released, but then no more than 1 server playing the DLC after that. Very early on, I contacted EA to see if my Premium subscription could be transferred from PC to PS4 because the player count on PS4 is massive in comparison to PC, but was told they could not do that.

    I play the game on the ULTRA preset with a GTX 970 and am able to maintain 60 FPS most of the time, though there are some maps where performance is worse and my graphics stutter to ~40 FPS.

    I have not played the campaign, so I have no opinion on that feature of the game.

    Pros:
    - Betrayal DLC looks and plays fantastic! Visceral has honed their Frostbite development skills over time and it's very apparent in the final DLC.
    - Fast-paced multiplayer
    - Infantry-focused multiplayer
    - Great for solo players
    - Gun bench is a nice feature, but I don't understand why it took so long to release
    - Weapon variety has increased greatly over the past 6 months
    - Grappling guns allow you to quickly access rooftops that would typically be guarded by enemies watching the ladders.
    - Zip Lines allow you to quickly fly across the map.
    - The game has dropped in price A LOT over the past year and can be purchased for $20 or less most of the time

    Cons:
    - Poor communication from Visceral directly. Game updates are typically not shared on social media by Visceral staff, but are posted by independent YouTubers such as DANNYonPC. Visceral needs to take accountability of their game and share their news/updates directly from their own accounts.
    - Absent player base on PC
    - Premium DLC maps are not worth it on PC because there is, at most, 1 lobby playing any of the DLC. The DLC maps should be given away to ALL players and included in the standard map rotations.
    - No "EA Official" servers running the game; all Multiplayer servers (East Coast, US) are privately rented and most have custom rules with badmins who abuse their powers.
    - Slow support from Visceral when releasing patches and news
    - Graphics optimization varies greatly from map to map
    - Gun Bench took nearly 1 year post-release to arrive
    - The M416 and M16A are still the most overpowered Assault Rifles in the game
    - There is a massive amount of FLIR-spam, especially with the M82 semi-auto sniper rifle.
    - Most "Premium Battlepacks" were Emblem sets and not anything that most players would care about
    - "The Block" is the worst map design I have ever seen in a FPS multiplayer title. Once your team has been spawn trapped at one end of the map or the other, it's game-over; there is no way to breach the spawn trap because the map has no outside flank-routes.

    In summary, the game runs fantastic now on PC and the latest DLC (Betrayal) is fantastic. I recommend this game to anyone who can get it on sale, especially if the DLC maps are eventually released for free to all. I have a longer list of "cons" than "pros", but I still enjoy the game a lot. Most of my frustration is over the low player count on PC and how that limits so much of the game, especially that which I paid premium for.

    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.

Overall, this game is easily the worst Battlefield game in the franchise so far, it just didn't work as well as EA wanted it to.

Is this a perfect game, no but it is a very good one that often gets criticized by people that most likely do not own it saying it is a re-skin of BF4, which is not true. Same engine yes but there are multiple differences that if you play BF4 you will notice and appreciate. You get a single player campaign many people would pay $60 for alone on top of a new and improved Battlefield multiplayer experience with new maps and game modes not previously seen in the series. BF Hardline releases with a single player campaign, 7 multiplayer game modes and 9 maps. Considering most DLC costs $15 and comes with 1-2 game modes and 4-5 maps, $60 is not overly priced for a new spin on an old franchise and a single player campaign. Expand

I don’t know about others but I seriously dislike this ā€œsitting along for the rideā€ controlling the mouse and randomly staring at unimportant features of the game world as I listen to the constant droning of the story.

    Battlefield does this a lot, mixing the idea of storyline and game, but it has yet to achieve the balance. Personally I wish it would stop altogether, you don't see people signing up to the BF servers for the storyline and it’s true about fps games in general. Storyline is an added benefit, if done well can be the cherry on top, but by no means important in this game genre. So don’t give me story immersion and then force me to sit through it, because I’d rent a cop movie if I wanted that.

    So the added features for this game is the Arrests, as instead of shooting you have the ability of a ā€œpeaceful takedownā€, a novelty that wears off in a matter of moments. Seriously if you as an officer of the law booked in that many criminals in one day your colleagues would hate you for the paper work you had just descend on them. So what is the point of arrest in this game? Just the points, the moral alternative that has no purpose except tricking you into believing that game and real life are the same… and by that extension you are a good person.

    In the quest to become something more than a fps Battlefield Hardline has gone soft. In the attempt to offer something more realistic in the battle scenario department, it should charge for criminal offenses. For trying to make me believe that life in the police force has any resemblance to this game it should be sentenced for perjury.

    This game was such a waste of money, after playing it for only a month I'm back playing BF4 which I will be playing until BF5 comes out. Hardline maps feel really small, time to kill you is too quick, hardly any guns to choose from, there are no tanks, ships, etc..It feels like this game should have came out 10 years ago. bottom line, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME on Hardline.

BF4 I have 1,400+hours playing..BF3 a similar amount...somewhat of a BF fan boy you could call me..... Hardline? A risky break from traditional Battlefield, and a risk that has sadly failed. I participated in the Alpha and Beta, and pre-ordered the game "hoping" they would get it right... Sadly they didn't.... Whilst Hotwire can be fun to play, its about all their is to the game, the weapons are unbalanced, with Guns like the K10 awesomely OP comapred to the rest (fastest rate of fire, and the most damage per bullet??), It needed a massive patch from day one, EA admitted it, but 2 months down the track, nothing, nada zip zero.... Player base? non existant, if you want o play Hardline, buy it on the PS4, its the only platform with any semblance of a community playing it. Yes it is still "fun" and the single player a bit better than other BF titles, but in short, it just leaves a sour taste in your mouth..... so much so I hopped on EA support and asked for a refund after 40 hours gametime, and 2 months after purchase..... Suprise suprise, they actually refunded the money too.... A sure sign that all is not well with the title.... If you have money to burn, then buy it, you might play it now and again, if you are on a budget, buy something else.... This game is not value for money, and is just a massive disappointing for any "true" BF fan. It should have been released as optional DLC for BF4, as that's all is really is....
    Dont hold your breath for Battlefront either, EA and DICE seem to have lost the plot lately.... Heres hoping some other studio use's the Unreal 4 engine and makes a decent FPS game

    Giving this game a "Battlefield" title turned out to be a shoot in the foot.

    Not that it's a bad game. It's a nice first-person shooter, with great ideas and benefits of the awesome Frostbite 3 engine.

And, obviously, EA thought would be a good idea to call it a Battlefield game because it would catapult sales, and much probably helped on this goal. But this is SO MUCH DIFFERENT from a typical Battlefield game that this move misled a lot of people to wrong expectations, and consequently, disappointments.

    As I said, it's a great game. Fun, thrilling, with both great single and multiplayer experiences. 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.

    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

    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.

    I've decided to write a second review of the game after owning it for a couple of months now, namely touching on the multiplayer aspects and how I've been getting on with the game thus far.

    Unfortunately after about three weeks of playing I've grown extremely bored of the game and don't feel there's much else it can offer except mediocre DLC's in the future, which of course will only cost more money and likely become just as boring as the vanilla maps. With Hardline I just cannot find a particular game mode I love. Unlike Battlefield 4 where I would play rush hour after hour, experiencing a different battle each time and having good fun, Hardline is extremely linear and combat is on such a small scale that it's repetitive every game.

    Gameplay feels unbalanced and I've yet to use many guns other than the M416 and M16A3, simply because they're overpowered and the majority of other players use them. Killing enemies has become too quick of a process giving you no chance to retaliate when fired at first, and destruction without the access to military vehicles is minimal and underwhelming.

    My biggest disappointment is simply the lack of decent game modes, other than maybe conquest, being a classic favourite for many Battlefield fans. Rushing to grab cash 24/7 is tedious, whereas destroying an entire enemy base in Battlefield 4 was an objective far more appealing and more reliant on a team effort. It really does feel like I'm playing a crossover of Call of Duty and Battlefield mechanics, and you can tell Dice are trying to enter the whole 'esports' game with the new game modes like rescue and crosshair which follow in Counter Strike's footsteps.

    Put simply, this to me is not Battlefield. Battlefield needs tanks, jets, huge maps, classic game modes, balanced classes, and of course large scale team work. Battlefield Hardline is a major disappointment for me and as I write this I am reinstalling Battlefield 4. Unless you enjoy small scale combat this is not the game for you, stick with Battlefield 4 until they release the next true Battlefield game.

    Quite honestly back in my Half Life 1 days I saw single custom MAPS that had more content than this game does. I only bought this game for my review channel on youtube... as all early indications were the game was going to be rubbish.

The gun control feels similar to an old MS DOS shooter.... stiff and rigid, no real control. The single player campaign might as well be non-existent. It's not just a bad campaign.... it's a bad campaign with horrible AI. Then comes the multiplayer - the only part of this game that was even a tiny bit fun.... however you only get a couple hours out of it before you're just like "okay.... is that it?" And yes.... that is it. Oh no one last GREAT feature of this game is how easy it is to send DDOS attacks to other players. I literally got DDOSed only 147 minutes into my playtime. And that was the end of my attempt to enjoy the game.

    I really don't like giving any games a zero, but considering the wealth of the people who produced this game - Battlefield Hardline must have really required absolutely NO effort.... and therefor earns my first ZERO ever... and hopefully my only one.

    Don't like playing by myself all that much, but when me and 3 other friends get together, the "Heist" game type is a blast. I love it. We log many hours playing heist and also rescue. It is a lot of fun.

    The campaign not very good but not bad either. I never expect much from the campaign of a battlefield ever since they moved away from the Bad Company arc, but this one brought some fun sequences and gun battles.

    Overall the game is at it's best in the heist mode and with friends. Now, is it worth paying 60 dollars for that? Probably not. But I have logged many hours into this game and I'm glad I bought it. But it is understandable that people don't overlook the shortcomings I mentioned initially. I try to look past them and have fun with my friends online, if you can do that this game is fun to play.

    Played 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.

    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]
