    This 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.

    Multiplayer was a Cluster **** with everyone running around doing their own things and it was very unenjoyable for me!
    Luckily for me i did not have to spend $60 on this boring generic movie meets video game since my friend let me play his copy on steam to check it out.
    I am not sure if it is even worth $20 let alone $60!
    So i score this a 3 just for the fact it at least played well and looked better than COD advanced warfare which is always in competition with the Battlefield series. for single player gameplay advanced warfare was better so that just shows you how much this game disappointed me! :(    … Expand

    Hardline 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.

    It is better than a lot of users ratings make it to be, but it is definitely not perfect. Still, I found Hardline's setting a fresh take for all the modern military shooters.

    So I have tried it and i pretty satisfied with this game. It is nt a rainbow six or bf 4, it is a crazy messy cop action. sometimes it looks like a bf3 metro map, but it cost a lot.

    In typical battlefield fashion battlefield beats COD Advanced warfare the campaign is crafted well and the gameplay in multiplayer is great although the large maps cause slow game mode

    This is nothing like a real Battlefield game and should be ashamed of itself. The game has been out 3 weeks now and already you have some try-hard pros running around slaughtering you like it has been out for several years. For newcomers to this game who are not much of a CoD/Battlefield players, this can be a little bit annoying, most of the game will be watching yourself die repeatedly.This is nothing like a real Battlefield game and should be ashamed of itself. The game has been out 3 weeks now and already you have some try-hard pros running around slaughtering you like it has been out for several years. For newcomers to this game who are not much of a CoD/Battlefield players, this can be a little bit annoying, most of the game will be watching yourself die repeatedly. Sure some people are good at the game but seriously come on, being the top level in the game already means you either have no life or you hacked the game.

    Despite the sweaty try-hards going all ninja on you there is an extreme lack of guns compared to what the legendary Battlefield 3 had, 5 primaries and 5 secondaries per class is a little bit poor. Especially when most of them are pretty piss poor. However, it is quite refreshing the way that you don't need to grind the game and level up to get those weapons, instead you earn money in game by getting kills, completing objectives and generally be a great help to the team.

    The maps have also taken a turn for the worse, they feel more like an enlarged CoD map than a Battlefield map and there are only about 5 of them. The spawn points are really poorly placed and the way that everything is set out it actually feels more like CoD than it does Battlefield. There is no staring at a door through you rifle scope with the rest of your squad because some one is on the other side anymore you simply just run in and shoot them. Snipers can't sit on a dusty rock or an incredibly high tower and snipe any poor soul their reticule floats over anymore. I want my slow paced Battlefield where I spend more time in one position thinking about moving than I spend moving, I want to actually need to think about what I'm doing as apposed to sprinting in a hoping you hit someone. I don't want any of this CoD ****

    Only buy this game if you always wanted a mix of CoD and Battlefield and this is a little message to DICE and EA. If you screw up Star Wars Battlefront and make it like this game I will come to your offices and slap you with some £100 notes until you bleed and then we'll see how much you just want my money.    … Expand

    No. Just no.

    Years ago I downloaded a mod called Desert Combat for Battlefield... 1942? The series ever since has just been polishing that mod and that has culminated with BF4. BF4 is as good a game as EA is going to get out of this series without bringing in some innovators. Hardline gets a 4 because anything less would make it sound like I was being too harsh but it's literally    No. Just no.

    I like the money system, I like buying upgrades, that's all fine and reminds me of the fun I had with Mechwarrior Mercenaries... but they didn't go that direction. Animations are bad, polish is bad, not immersive, borderline comical dialogue, and I'm talking about multiplayer. No sense even mentioning the Singleplayer which is always the weak spot in the BF franchise.

You play as Nick Mendoza, a hot headed cop who has a really terrible partner. Really terrible. But who cares about arresting drug dealers and bland car chases!? I wanna play Multiplayer!!!!! I stepped into 7 minutes of Bank Heist, and there was so much stuff on screen, I shot a guy, got shot twice and swam in money. That is Bank Heist, bros. I thought that Visceral could make a gritty, fast paced heist mode like the one I spent hours with in GTA 5. But then again, its EA. EA announced this at E3 making it look all pretty and polished, but it appears that I traded in my PS4 copy and used the 30 bucks EB Games gave ne to get the PC version, just because I heard it looks better. I love my PS4, I get every new game on it. But not this one. So, I only used my Pc for LoL, Starcraft, Dota 2, basically every PC exculsive. Running Hardline was a pain in my ass. I upgraded my cooler and my graphics card, just to smoothly run the damn thing. And after 3 hours, success! I hate the whole Origin thing, you need it to play every new EA title, it ruined NFS Rivals, Garden Warfare, BF4 and Hardline. Servers crash 80 percent of the time on PC, but only 30 percent of the time on PS4, depending on your internet connection. So BH takes a lot of computer space, upgraded coolers and graphic cards, but it still doesnt look as good as PlanetSide 2, that uses a low graphics resolution. The frames per second have inproved, but the game has lost it charm with more loading screens and pop in textures. Overall, its the same crap on PS4, but looks a tad bit better. If this is worth a buy, is up to you, the game isnt any good, and from what I have seen it wont improve in updates as well.… Expand

    But it wasn't - and considering that? It's all I can keep focusing on. The shooting is fun; the AI is meh - the story is an 8 hour cliche, however a "its so bad its good" kind of cliche... I've had fun playing it.

    But I'd rather play BF4 as it is today - and theirs no way in hell, this warranted 60$, or in some cases, more.

    Simple as that. Wait until it goes on sale for $20 or less.    … Expand

    Best battlefield game so far beautiful graphics and fun multiplayer. The game offers many great snipers rifle for 360 noscoping and quick scoping someone from long range feels extremely satisfying. For hardcore gamers there is even MLG 420 noscoping aswell. This otherwise fantastic game is sadly ruined by camping and hardscoping but is still fun playable if you play with pr0s.

Vehicles are extremely boring consisting of a few different cars and choppers with MGs. It's like only having jeep and transport chopper in BF4. I tried the campaign and quit after 1st episode. There's just not enough action and the reward system forces you to use non-lethal takedowns. It's not a horrible game, but if you expect a Battlefield game with Battlefield like gameplay you'll be disappointed. Gameplay feels much more like CoD then BF.

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

    Made a new account here just to review this product. I'll try fit In all the Information I can as best I can.

    Where to start? Let's start with the horrible, horrible weapons balancing. M16A3, M416 and K-10. If you're not using any of these three weapons you are at a stupidly large disadvantage. They are so over powered It Isn't even funny. I'm not the type of player who likes using OP weapons, I like to use the less OP guns, If you feel the same way you will not enjoy this game - not one bit. 95% of the player base uses those three weapons and it doesn't matter If you start shooting two seconds ahead of them, they will kill you. It's just not fun at all. You'll want to smash things.

    It's buggy as hell, I can't believe nobody has mentioned all the bugs. It's actually as bad as Battlefield 4 was at launch, Examples; Set your loadout before you enter game? Nope, the game will give you the loadout you was using originally no matter what. You'll need to respawn/die to get the one you want. Want to change attachments for a weapon? It'll not register as that and It'll try changing the actual weapon. You'll want to smash things.

    Want to set a Sabotage bomb? It's random as to whether or not it will actually let you. It just doesn't register sometimes, or, only lets you put It on the smallest part of the vehicle / door or whatever. It'll get you killed and frustrate you beyond belief. You'll want to smash things.

    I've only really used Operator and mechanic thus far and found plenty bugs on both sides, can only imagine what the other two classes are.

    The games bugs will kill you, nowhere near as much as the M16, M14 or K-10 but a buggy game killing you Is very bad. You'll want to smash things.

    The assignments, the unlocks, the weapons you can use per class. Oh dearie me they are pathetic.

    Each weapon syndicate "assignment" takes you about 30+ hours, for one weapon unlock (It's actually three assignments in one) Battlefield 4 you could get them in two maybe three hours.

    The amount of weapons In the game Is a joke, want to use your favourite weapon In more than 50% of your playtime? Well, you can't unless you get 1250 kills with It first, then, purchase It for around oh i don't know $50,000. Seriously, 1250 kills? I just checked my battlefield 4 stats to find something close, one weapons has a kills per minute ratio of 2.1 and 1400+ kill count and I used It for twelve hours In total.

    In short, to unlock your favourite weapon so you can play with it as you please you'll have to put 10+ hours Into it. probably more like 24 hours if you're not averaging 2 kills per minute. Just to play with your weapon of choice on both factions. Oh and let's not forget half the time you'll not be able to use said weapon because It'll not be unlocked on the other faction. So you're looking at maybe 20-48 hours game play, half of that with a weapon you probably don't like at the VERY minimum. You'll want to smash things.

    And we all know after you've put those seemingly countless hours Into the game to get what you wanted EA will just turn around and sell the weapons for unlocks on either side for $10 or whatever. Mark my words ladies and gentlemen.

    Literally no reason to have any weapons for operator and mechanic classes In this game apart from the M16 the M14 and K-10. They might as well delete the rest of the weapons from game and free up some hard drive space.

    It's not like I'm new to the series, I've done 1000+ hours in both Battlefield 3 and battlefield 4.

    Can't get a refund now because I'm too late to use Origins great game "guarantee" because yeah, you can totally work out If you like a game or not when you start downloading on the evening, wake up, go to work, get back play for like two hours, rinse and repeat. I'm not even going to get Into the whole EA thing. We all feel the same way. They make us want to smash things.

    The campaign, I just.......I just, just no. It's bland and boring and you can't skip the god damn cut scenes that last ten minutes at times. I gave it a shot but found myself doing some additional housework or cooking as soon as the scenes would start. Yes, they are that god damn boring I'd rather do housework than waste my life watching them.

    This game is going to die, the player population seems to be crazy low already compared to Battlefield 3 and 4. GTAV Is just around the corner with games like Witcher 3 and MGS5 a stones throw away amongst many more awesome games. Please don't waste your time and money (especially time) If you have Battlefield 3 or 4 don't get this game, they are 100% superior. In fact, if you have any other FPS don't get this game. Just don't get this game.

    Lots more things to say but I have to go walk the dog. I may come back and edit more Information In later if that's possible.

    It's not possible, pretty much used all my 5000 character allowance.

    I want to smash things just typing this out and thinking about the game.    … Expand

    This 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 ****

    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]

    Be a Lethal Weapon in single-player, enjoy a different take on multiplayer. Visceral gives you the best of both worlds. [May 2015, p.57]
