    I have to admit that I haven't played a lot of it but the game is quite fun actually.

    The pace is extremely fast in most of the games. Bullets flying everywhere, it's quite chaotic but still very enjoyable.

    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

    * I felt the cash system in mp was a nice change.
    * 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 game feels like BF3 & BF4 hard modes in that you take a lot of damage from bullets with new toys such as grappling hooks and zip lines you can use to maneuver about the maps to get to those key locations or sneak up on someone without using a ladder. 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

    Hardline on the PC looks considerably better than the PS4 version, but it is the same frantic, hooty and trigger happy contest that EA applied to the aging 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

    Well, I could not resist. I've bought every BF game released on or before the release date, and could not let my veteran status be left out of date for too long.
    So I bought BFHL. I had low hopes of the game being good, so I went into this like it was bound to be bad. I fired up the single player campaign and the first interaction you have is busting down a door to bring down some drug dealers. It felt kind of corny at first, like yeah ok BF. Sure let's catch some bad guys.
    Later on, after a few car chases, tutorial levels and cut scenes (which are unskippable) it drops you into your first few missions. You can pretty much tackle these however you want. This is where BFHL Campaign shines. Instead of some run and gun shoot em up non sense level, you make the calls. Every chance that came up, I would not even shoot my gun. You can sneak around every level and arrest the bad dudes, and get bonus experience/unlocks for getting people with warrants. There is also the option to shoot everyone in the face. The characters are very interesting. You learn to love or hate some.. and i mean some really piss you off. Your character also makes the "why the **** are you doing this" decisions that you see in horror movies sometimes, its subtle enough to ignore. I got to about level 7/11 for the campaign before it was 10 PM. So it does seem a little short and the sneaking around probably lengthened it for me.
    Multiplayer
    Hotwire The multiplayer brings in a few new game modes. My favourite being the Hotwire missions. Basically 6 or so cars spawn around the map which act as control points. You have to obtain these cars and stay alive as long as you can to bring down the other teams points. This becomes and cat and mouse game where you are literaly evading 32+ other players. What's really interesting, is a lot of the explosive power that riddles the other BF games gets taken right out. There is one grenade launcher (I think) and an RPG you can only get out of a trunk of a car. So the random death by explosions is lessened, but still present.
    Rescue The deployable zip line and grappling hook were actually used by a few players in a mode like CSGO where you had to rescue a hostage. We ziplined across a street and between 2 skyscrapers to their side of the map, and tried to bring them back to ours. In this particular mode you had one life, unless you were revived, but that doesn't seem to slow down the pug mentality.
    Blood Money In this mode there is a designated area with cash, and you have to bring it back to your vault to score it. If you die, the money falls on the ground and anyone can pick it up. There is a lot of bonus points for grabbing killing and scoring the money, this could be an easy leveler mode if its what your interested in.
    Heist This game mode seems a bit wonky to me, I'm not sure if it glitched or its just plain terrible. Basically the criminals have to break into a vault and get money to an extraction point twice. I'm not sure what your supposed to do after that because our team lost after completing the objective. So ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
    Overall, the game runs great maxed out on my GTX 970 and an i7 4770k. I ran into no FPS drops or stutter or lag. I did not experience one crash or have any issues technically. It seems like it was a pretty smooth launch.
    While the games setting may put off some people, I would really recommend you try the game despite the mediocre reviews. I think the battlefields really became a game that everyone loves to hate, despite the developers putting forth a good effort to repair the brand. While I still think there is room for improvement, this game will keep me entertained for a while and I will most likely bite the bullet to purchase it for a few friends, since the price seems to be the most off putting part for them.    … Expand

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.

    It's good, but could have been more. BFH definitely takes fresh new approach on the campaign. No longer it is a boring, ridiculous, and cliche war drama.

    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. On the other hand, you got limited weapons that takes way too long to earn, cops/crooks restricted weapons, OP armored vehicles, and terrible balancing issue on Hardcore mode. You actually take less damage when you are playing hardcore.

    In conclusion, although this game is fun, I think it is the worst BF ever made    … Expand

    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.    … 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.

    Here's the deal with battlefield hardline. If you forget the fact that it isn't really much different from the previous entry, and forget that the graphics are a step down from 4, and forget that 3 or 4 of the game types in this game suck because of poor spawning and overall a confusing objective, this game can be a lot of fun.

    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.    … 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.

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.

    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

Pero con el tiempo me pareció de los Battlefield más divertidos que he jugado, por encima de Battlefield 4 y Battlefield 1, a pesar de ser spin off.
    El modo historia está 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 cinemáticas, lo mismo cuando sales del juego te pone qué es lo que vendrá. Muy interesante ese detalle. No es memorable el modo historia y tiene bastante sigilo (algo que no me simpatiza), pero creo que está bien logrado logrando ese toque de película de Hollywood de acción policial promedio. Los personajes dejan que desear.
    El multijugador: De lo más 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 están 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 están 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 más 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 estándar para modo campaña.

    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.    … Expand

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

    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.

    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

    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.    … Expand

    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]
