    Battlefield: Hardline fails to bring anything "new" to the table like Battlefield 4 or Bad Company did. That being said, Visceral Games did a great job with the online modes. Also, the story mode or "episodes" play like a modern crime T.V. show (ex. Justified, CSI) and even have the "next time on Hardline" and "previously on Hardline" dialogues.

Justified, CSI) and even have the "next time on Hardline" and "previously on Hardline" dialogues.
    I'll start with multiplayer because, let's face it, that's why most of us are buying it. You won't be flying jets or driving tanks in this entry... But you'll be able to race to the scene in a variety of police or criminal vehicles like: vans, patrol cars, and even heavily armored trucks with .50cals on top (or even have your team-mates shoot out the windows of your vehicle. Conquest (large or small) returns in Hardline but many new modes make the online feel fresh like:
    -Hotwire where the criminals are trying to steal a bunch of cars while the police try and re-possess them.
    -Heist is exactly what it sounds like, each team is trying to infiltrate and steal the cash for their team.
    -Rescue is where police must infiltrate and save a hostage from the criminals but, there are no respawns, the action is intense in this mode.
    -Blood Money A huge pile of loot has been intercepted in transit. The criminals are battling for the money to steal and bank it, while the police are there to secure it for evidence. You can also raid the enemy teams base and steal money.
    -Crosshair a former criminal turned state’s witness is on the run from his former crew. The criminals are trying to erase the VIP’s face from the world, while the cops are trying to get him out safely.

    I feel like BF does enough here to make it fresh and exciting. I like that you get money now when you get kills, assists and for completing objectives to spend on whatever you like. The multiplayer works on launch which obviously, did not happen with Battlefield 4. Team-work is also a great idea in some of these modes especially rescue!

    Single player: I feel like single player is one of the best BF has produced since Bad Company. The characters are all very well written and, like I said before, plays like a T.V. series making you wonder what will happen next. I also like how you can play however you like, stealth or guns blazing. Although, guns blazing isn't the best idea because you die much faster in this iteration. Something I didn't like is unlocks don't cater to both ways of playing the game (stealth or guns blazing), you are rewarded more for being silent and making arrests. It's also very cool how you can seek out evidence into cases and complete them, unlocking new weaponry and XP leading to leveling up and eventually get battlepacks.
    Overall though, the game isn't worth buying just for the SP. I still very much enjoyed it though.
    If you're a fan of Battlefield, pick this up. It's a great game to sink hours into and have a good time in single-player as well. It still feels like a lot like BF4 though and that's a bit of a drawback for me (having played 350 hours in BF4). I know I'll get dislikes for giving this a positive review but, it's just my opinion.

    Pros:
    + Fresh new multiplayer modes
    + Enjoyable single player
    + Stable servers

    Cons:
    - Graphics have not changed
    - Feels lots like BF4
    - Flashing your badge freezes enemies in their tracks for laughable arrests

    Overall: 7.5/10    … Expand

    Battlefield Hardline brings an interesting new approach to the Battlefield franchise. The campaign is battlefields most ambitous yet, it definatly embraces the cop theme but the same can't be said for the robbers side of the campaign.

Stealth is a large focus of the campaign, which is complimented by an 'arrest' mechanic. While the mechanics are basic they are a start and a positive start at that. Overall the campaign is a short fun experience layed out like a cop drama but still work to do to get a truely gripping drama.
    As for multiplayer its hard to go from battlefield 4's large open maps with tanks and jets to suv's and bank vaults. The new game modes are nothing to get too ecited about, a quick look at the server list reveals the most popular modes to be the returning modes conquest and team deathmatch! The way you buy weapons with cash earned in game is interesting but their are hardly any guns to buy. Experimenting with other classes is also fustrating due to the fact that the operator (assault/medic) is pretty much the best and most important guy with the combination of health packs and assault rifles. Overall the multiplayer is nothing special and i honsetly cant see it having any legs in the long run, my reccomendation is battlefield 4s multiplayer with the dlc.
    In conclusion Its an intersting prospect but lack of attention to detail on what cops and robbers actually would act like lets this game down. However its still battlefield and newcomers and veterans could appreciate the change in asthetic and theme.    … Expand

    There are positives though. I fully expect Hotwire to be a staple game mode in the series from now on because its a ton of fun, the heists are great too . Lastly the campaign is usually considered an afterthought in BF games but FWIW Hardlines is one of the better ones in the series.

    Overall, its not as good as the last few games but theres still enough of the old Battlefield there for fans to get plenty of enjoyment out of it.    … Expand

    Not quite sure why a lot of people hated on this title. I thought the story was by far the best of all Battlefield titles. Multiplayer on the other hand is another story. Battlefield has never figured it out. New game mode is far to fast. All in all I would recommend this title.

    This game has a very fun multiplayer component. But loses points for the AWFUL campaign. The campaign in this game was so boring, I had trouble finishing it. If you buy this game. Do not play the campaign. However, multiplayer is great. Having a lot of fun with it.

    2 downsides so far, they used Battlefield in the name and the driving isn't top notch. Outside of those problems, the story is great for once. You're a cop and every level is an episode. You have to take down bad guys, non lethally (with your badge and arrest or with a stun gun) or lethally.

Most instances, you have to sneak around the same way you did in Hitman except you can spray and pray at any moment. You will die quickly if you don't use cover. But take down all the bad guys with a shotgun and tazer the guy you need to arrest. Not bad. Also, you look around the rooms for clues to unlock more loadout options.

    NOTE: They should've skipped the driving portion, it doesn't feel like it belongs in the game. I'm happy Battlefieldi didn't go with another skin of its previous games.    … Expand

    This isn't a bad game. BUT. there just isn't enough to justify the 60$ price. The campaign is just painfully average. There are fewer game modes, and guns, which is the biggest problem with this game, there isn't enough. Overall, if this game was a dlc for under $25 I would say pick it up, but since its not, don't buy it, but when the price drops to under 30 to 25 dollars, I'd say pick it up.

I've experienced plenty of kill trades which are amplified by the fact that the guns hits you very hard. TDM is a mess with the poor spawn system and it's extremely luck based, depending on whether you see your opponent first or vice versa.

    i'm going to put this simply. If you have Battlefield 4, you don't need this game. If you have never played a battlefield game, then this is for you. I think this is a game meant to attract all the worn out COD fanboys and try to bring them onto Battlefields side, and that's just fine for me. Its a decent game, but if you excuse me, im gonna go back to playing battlefield 4.

    First of all, I’m just giving my opinion on the main single player campaign, not the multiplayer.

    I’ll summarise this as a very average FPS shooter in terms of the campaign. Story is not bad; it is basically very similar to the typical Hollywood cops-drugs-crime kind of movie.

This isn’t a bad thing in itself as the story is not bad, but at the same time it doesn’t feel special or surprising at all, you’ll feel you’ve seen this before several times.

    Graphically speaking the game is all right, kind of at the same level you would expect from any battlefield game, maybe a bit worse. Artistically speaking, again it is very average, venues aren’t anything surprising at all which again compares negatively to other battlefield games. Sound and voice acting is top notch.

    Gameplay, it’s a classic FPS in the stricter meaning of the word, there isn’t any surprising mechanics at all here, nothing new, just classic shooting without any interesting or novel cover mechanics or anything. Maybe with the exception of a mechanic that allows you to arrest people rather than just killing them, but it’s nothing special. It is worth commenting that you get both action oriented missions and stealthier ones, but again nothing new under the sun.

    Summarising, this is a very average game, there are much more interesting FPS games out there if you’re looking for a good single player campaign. If you can get it really cheap, you’ll still enjoy it, but I wouldn’t pay a lot for this as it’s nothing special really. Again, I insist I am not taking into account the multiplayer element here, I got no idea how good it is in terms of multiplayer, probably quite fun, but read some other reviews to find out.    … Expand

But I'm not sure if this was just growing pains for Dice trying to get a decent campaigh into the game but its the best effort to date in terms of single player, its worth a once over no need to go back,

    however the MP has been cut in half and i don't just mean in map size, i mean in every sense of the world

    less maps
    less weapons
    less vehicles
    less point

    the game launched almost perfectly with no server issues no game crashes no issues there but my god how can they charge you what they are charging especial in the UK and Europe for HALF THE GAME of battlefield 4, we need to wake up and stop paying for this because we are telling them it's OK to do this every time we spend that kinda money on chopped up games like this they are getting the message its ok to do it,

    if the game didn't function properly i would have given it a 4 but it does and that is its only saving grace on a mechanical level its the smoothest launch since bf2 but there is nothing here to keep you going nothing to work towards, reward rates on hot wire are so high you can just drive around a map unlock most the stuff you need and happy days you win, nothing to see here move along until the next dlc pack is out which is still only going to consist of 4 maps and if your lucky you might get weapons

Head shots from 1000 yards with a sub machine gun and iron sights?? No problem at all! Not only are head shots routinely carried out by every assortment of weapon as you are in a car or pretty much anywhere else, but you will also find that you are constantly shot down by someone whom you put half a clip in just to see them with 100% health after you die.

Dont even get me started about how lousy the vehicles control and how badly they glitch when bumping each other. This game has really ruined it for me. Trust me when I say if you are buying this game because you enjoy the thrill of a good "even ground" hunt you are completely screwed. Buy this game if you enjoy aiming in the general vicinity of someone and letting the computer take over for you. Just give it a slight bump upwards for automatic head shots every time. Not to mention inconsistent bullet damage. 3 shots from certain rifles into someones head routinely led to them turning around and killing me with 1 or 2 shots to the chest from a pistol. I am actually a police officer so I was excited to hear how good the story was supposed to be...wow letdown number 50. The "pop your badge out and everyone drops their guns" was amusing at first. Driving in a vehicle that is supposed to be going close to 100 miles an hour while looking out the window things are going by you at closer to 20 mph was a huge let down as well.

From reading his compelling review, I have reason to believe he is in fact 12 years old and the only prior experience he has had with an FPS is Call of Duty.

    On a serious note, COD kiddies should not be reviewing this game. They have no right to compare their garbage to a Battlefield instalment. These kids have barely the slightest idea of what makes a game good and blame the mechanics for their gameplay screw-ups. Reading reviews from these ill-informed idiots is painful. Is it the game's fault you have severe autism? No. Is the game responsible for your low IQ? No. If anything, go blame your parents.

    Back to the actual review, if you look at this game as purely a spin-off for the Battlefield franchise and do not compare it to the previous instalments, it is extremely fun. I have played the Beta and the final version of this game and it is great if you don't let unfair comparisons to BF3 and 4 blind you. Hotwire by far is the most fun gamemode. The game may seem overpriced for something that is so similar to previous games, and after a while it can get boring. I admit there are not a lot of guns to purchase either.

In addition, they tried to put Cops and Robbers into Battlefield, which could've been okay, but it's too mixed of a setting. The campaign can sometimes be SO confusing. Especially when they're putting in the Battlefield setting. The multiplayer is also lacking... quality. The re-spawn takes SO LONG, you clearly die too quickly, it's actually a little confusing, and customization isn't that good. I got Advanced Warfare earlier, which was MUCH better.

    This Battlefield spin-off ditches the standard military shooter setting in favor of a cops and robbers motif. It doesn't reinvent the shooter wheel, and plenty of Battlefield 4 is still hanging around that keep it from being a true sequel, but what's hear is solid enough to be worth a look.

    From a technical standpoint the game is mostly perfect. Glitches are rare and only minor when    This Battlefield spin-off ditches the standard military shooter setting in favor of a cops and robbers motif. It doesn't reinvent the shooter wheel, and plenty of Battlefield 4 is still hanging around that keep it from being a true sequel, but what's hear is solid enough to be worth a look.

    From a technical standpoint the game is mostly perfect. Glitches are rare and only minor when they do pop up. The voice acting is phenomenal, the soundtrack makes great use of licensed music, and it just all around sounds great. The area where it mostly stumbles is in the graphics. Character models look fantastic. Facial expressions and other animations are near-flawless. There's a great attention to detail in regards to things like clothing that really make these characters feel lifelike. The same can't be said for the environments. Everything has sort of a plastic look to it. The majority of the game's levels make use of generic and bland scenery. While the characters look incredible, the environments are far from current gen.

    The new focus on police action actually breathes some new life in the campaign. The story is pretty entertaining and has some good characters. The way it's set up, with levels bring called "episodes," show that the game is trying to capture the feel of those police dramas we see on TV. However it quickly devolves into action-movie junk food that kind of throws logic to the wind. It's still hard to complain as it's still entertaining thanks to some solid writing and likable characters. The humor is also appreciated.

    The campaign's gameplay also fares well. The change in focus from soldiers to cops also plays a role here as well. For one thing you don't have to go through it all guns blazing. There's a pretty satisfying stealth element to it. Catching enemies unaware let's you flash the badge and use the nonlethal option of arresting them. It's a pretty cool new way to play that makes the campaign feel different than the average affair modern shooters pop out. There are still plenty of action packed moments for the more explosion hungry gamers out there.

    For all of the campaign's solid elements it doesn't change the fact that it has the same problem as every other modern, multiplayer focused FPS: it's really only good for a playthrough or two. Some extra collectibles are scattered throughout to entice you to come back at least once more, but it just won't last you long. However I still enjoyed the campaign. I would have preferred some actual teammate AI (they literally just stand around and don't help you at all), but overall I wouldn't mind seeing a continuation of the story in a Hardline 2.

    As always with these types of games the emphasis is definitely on the multiplayer. Some new modes make their way to the series that tie into the police vs. criminals theme of the game. "Heist" and "Hotwire" are the standouts. These new modes focus on objectives that keep the action moving. The result is matches that keep players directly involved in the action and almost constantly moving. This type of gameplay is at odds with what longtime Battlefield fans have come to expect from the series. The more fast-paced, close quarters feel of these modes have already been accused of being more Call of Duty than Battlefield.

    If that's not your cup of tea then don't worry. Hardline's new modes only comprise about half of the multiplayer experience. The other half is Battlefield 4. That's kind of an issue with this game. If it weren't for the campaign it's not hard to see that this very well could have just been a Battlefield 4 expansion on the multiplayer side. They just kind of stretched it out to make another full game. A questionable and controversial move. Whether or not you'll like the new parts of the Battlefield multiplayer experience just depends on if you've ever wanted your Battlefield matches to be more close quarters with constant movement that results in more immediate action. There's a noticeable difference between Hardline's new modes and the one's from Battlefield 4.

    Overall Hardline does some new things, particularly with it's single-player content. We get a solid campaign and some fun new multiplayer modes. However, given that half of the multiplayer modes are just repackaged from Battlefield 4 is kind of a big issue. While not enough to kill this new spin-off, it is enough to make you wonder if it's really worth picking up just for a few new modes when you already purchased Battlefield 4. While I can't say if it will be worth it to you, I can say it's a solid and enjoyable game on it's own rights. Perhaps not a true new step for the multiplayer, but it's fun nonetheless and the new modes do a good job of changing up the standard Battlefield action. The fun campaign is also a nice treat.

    I give the game a 7.5/10.    … Expand

You basically just get rewarded with cash for doing stuff, which would be fine but there isn't a lot to buy with the money so after a very short amount of time you will end up just sitting on hundreds of thousands of dollars with nothing to buy which is irritating and seems poorly thought out by the developers. The second problem is kind of the cause of the leveling system being bad and that is the lack of gun variety. Each class has three guns to choose from, which very very limiting in a regular multiplayer game but going from BF4's huge and interesting gun library to having three guns to choose from almost breaks the experience. Having close to(I don't have time to actually count so I'm making an educated geuss) 40 guns to choose from in any given class was a core pillar of what made BF4 special. Though despite this, the game remains good because of the battlefield franchises signature gunplay and a bunch of fun game modes.… Expand

The action is a bit better and compels the game onward, although it's just a reskinned BF4. It's a military shooter with a cop theme, it doesnt really work all the time. Flashing your badge after you've been kicked off the force? Doesn't really make sense...

    The multiplayer however makes this a decent ride. New modes like hotwire and hostage rescue absolutely kick ass. It's addictive fun. I can't help but feel that this is a much more scaled down version of battlefields past, though. Each class has between 3-5 weapons to choose from compared to dozens from games past. The action has been much sped up and things move at a COD style pace. Deaths come quick in this one.

    The biggest disappointment of this cops and robbers game is that it has very little cops and robbers. You never knock down doors and toss flash bangs. You never ambush crooks. You can forget about questioning anyone. There is very little actual police work in this game. Instead, you take out enemies stealthily like Metal Gear Solid or gun them down like any other Battlefield game. At one point, the game goes completely off the rails and you drive around a tank taking out helicopter gunships.

    Some effort was put into this game. You have gorgeous character models that probably put competing games to shame in early 2015. Back then, most games released for Xbox 360 and PS3 looked very much last gen on the current gen consoles. Not this one. Cut scenes in Hardline are also well done and show an overconfidence in the actual gameplay. Weapons are straight up Battlefield weapons except cops get Tasers. The maps and areas are nicely done, with a few set pieces that are worthy of a Call of Duty. Ugh, imagine Call of Duty: Cops. That's really what this game is, complete with moments where the player character is knocked unconscious by explosions.

    I cannot stress enough how much this game is a missed opportunity. Or maybe cops really do crouch walk around gang hideouts methodically taking out enemies with stealth attacks and disabling alarms. Perhaps my whole notion of police work is a lie.

    In regards to multi-player, I can report that it exists and people are still playing it. I matched into a game within a minute and spawned into the gun turret of an armored vehicle for a few cheap kills. Then I spawned in the middle of a firefight and was killed by an unseen enemy wielding an assault rifle. Welcome to the Battlefield soldier. I honestly cannot understand why anyone would play Hardline when they could play Battlefield 4. Both were sold for $5 during the same PSN sale (which is how I picked up Hardline) and yet only one is a real Battlefield game.

Unlike Battlefield 4, Hardline focuses more on the smaller set pieces rather than giant skyscrapers collapsing, and these set pieces are really cool to watch happen. I wish there were many, many more weapons, but the weapons they give you are very good and easy to pick up and use. My one big gripe is that in both single and multiplayer, driving is extremely sluggish and needs to be improved. It feels like you're trying to drive a block of ice. I also don't like how other than the few new game modes, which are still very good, Hardline doesn't really sell the whole "Cops and Robbers" concept. With some updates and some expansions, this game can become much more than what it is now, but for what we got, at a full $60, is something that you may want to wait on unless you just can't wait to play, because this is still quite a good game, it's just not a very big one.… Expand

By altering the series' focus from 'soldiers at war' to 'cops and robbers' lends a fresh perspective on modern conflict. Another reason why I enjoyed Battlefield Hardline is because it liberally borrows stealth gameplay elements from the Far Cry games - a franchise which I admittedly admire. However, in hindsight Battlefield Hardline didn't fully meet my expectations, in particular it's story.

    From the outset (and the fact that Visceral were developing the game) I expected Hardline's narrative to be mature and sophisticated. Most importantly, I wanted the story to be 'different'. Unfortunately, Hardline's story is yet another typical run-of-the-mill cop story that features a predictable betrayal element to justify fighting on both sides of the law. Even despite the premises' lack of originality, I still think it could've been handled better. The only saving grace is that there is one side character who feels fresh and provides most of the humour through how witty he is (you know who I'm talking about).

    Another point of criticism is the game's reliance (or more accurately, over-reliance) on stealth. Now, I know I said I liked how Hardline liberally borrowed the stealth gameplay elements from the Far Cry games and I really dig that, but when I finished the game and recalled how much of the game's missions and scenarios focused on sneaking around and taking enemies down silently, I was genuinely surprised when I realised how much of the game's total length I had spent doing just that. Approximately 85% of Battlefield Hardline's campaign gameplay revolves around stealth. The real problem with Hardline's over-reliance on stealth is the simple fact that the stealth gameplay never really changes or ever truly evolve beyond the stealth gameplay formula established by the Far Cry franchise. This leads to A LOT of repetition and subsequent fatigue and boredom. Especially given the fact that I basically played the game for 8 hours straight.

    Battlefield Hardline isn't great, but at the same time it isn't awful. While I liked how it borrows from Ubisoft's FPS juggernaut, Hardline's cop premise hangs by a thread to the point where it feels like window dressing until laughably even that gets ditched in the final mission where the game literally goes full Far Cry 3. And when something fully becomes the thing that it's imitating and abandons it's identity, nothing more needs to be said.    … Expand

Very bad modes, and even worse maps that weren't even designed for these modes. This multiplayer is just a dumbed down with a diamond sledgehammer version of BF4. Oh yeah, and there is barely even any levolution. The fact that DICE claims to have developed the multiplayer makes me sick to my stomach, because DICE was extremely lazy or just dropped the ball completely with this. However, the sound design in this game is still exemplary, showing every FPS developer how to create authentic sound design. Overall, Battlefield Hardline is a very poor effort from both Visceral and DICE, and a very average experience. Get BF4, or get BF1, and play those, but do NOT buy this game.… Expand

I'm not great at shooters, but when I get killed, i would like to see what I did wrong. In this game, there is no such thing. You get killed, but half the time, u don't know why. The killcam in this game is one of the worst i've experienced in years. I don't care what a player does after he killed me, I want to know how he killed me. The multiplayer maps are nothing special, they are not bad, but not great either. In some cases, half of the map is never used, as players stick to the same area, making some parts of the maps useless. Luckily there are vehicles to quickly skip the empty parts and the spawing in a teammates location helps. I seem to have a hard time spotting other players from a distance. In my opinion there are not a lot of game modes and some of these game modes, just look the same. The graphics are good, but I would have expected a bit more from this title. I've seen a lot better on the PS4. I would suggest that people buy the game when the price goes down a bit, because the game feels overpriced for the content it gives atm.

    The story is fine, it has some great elements and it's not bad, with several different weapons, and upgrades that you can buy. The multiplayer wasn't anything to write home about, and there is a crucial bug in one of the story mission which makes you restart the level, which kinda ruins the experience.

    Im going to agree with pretty much everyone who rated this game a 5 or below. Its sad honestly. So much promise from Dice yet poorly delivered. Multiplayer, no lets not even give it that. The place you go to watch camera glitches and people spazzing out all over the maps while giving you enough time to run to the store and back between respawns. There much better. Dont buy it, rent it ifIm going to agree with pretty much everyone who rated this game a 5 or below. Its sad honestly. So much promise from Dice yet poorly delivered.

    The best things about the campaign are the character models and the house designs. All the characters are designed perfectly to the role they play in the game, and the houses you enter are dream houses. Pools with amazing views of the city, nightclubs, tennis courts and more are all part of living the dream as a crook. However, someone has probably gone overboard with the fireplaces.The best things about the campaign are the character models and the house designs.

Seriously, one house had a fireplace basically in every room (obviously not a tree hugger). This part of the development really impressed me, as did the voice acting, even if the lines were cheesier than a Pizza Hut stuffed crust.

    It’s unfortunate that my excitement for Hardline was crushed.
    I was really expecting something, well… good. Visceral’s take on Cops and Robbers is brilliant in multiplayer (check out our MP review here), but this is a review on the campaign, and the campaign stinks. But who buys Battlefield for the campaign you fanboys ask? Me, because I really wanted a decent Cops and Robbers themed game. Instead I was let down, just like when Peter Griffin took the mystery box. He’s right, it could have been anything, but Visceral failed to create much of anything.    … Expand

    I am giving this game a 5 as it is better than Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare but not as great as it should be. You do have quite a bit of lag and some guns will kill with a shot this life and take 5 shots to kill in the next life. All in all this game is "OK".

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nice new twist to the Battlefield games. Wish i would have seen more police missions as after a while it starts to look like GTA5 or similar. Also from mission 8 it looks like the developers ran out of solid plans and writing as it turns into a boring stale games without any realism. Suddenly you can drive a tank? Wish i would have seen some prison time missions as well. 3 years of the life cut out. Overall good story but 8,9 let it down. 10 also bit over the top, he knows you are coming but clearly his crew is not aware you are on the island? Bit dumb… Expand

    When the cover of the game is cringy,what do you expect? I mean,it has a few good missions and set pieces,but overall, the story is bland and forgettable. They tried for the game to look cool, but they didn't succeed.

    The gimmick was fun for a little bit, but the game felt very bland and didn't bring much new to the table.
    YES, it did have grappling hooks and ziplines and cool gadgets, but in all out warfare it isn't viable or often used (at least in my experience). If it had R6 Siege style gameplay with smaller maps and more objective style gameplay, it might have been cool to use the gadgets.

    Hotwire was really the only good mode but you could easily cheese a boring victory by driving around the map if the enemy team didn't know they signed up for mobile conquest.
    I didn't mind the single player, but it wasn't anything exciting. I only remember the main character's name because he has the same name as my brother.

    Battlefield Hardline is a first-person shooter video game developed by Visceral Games in collaboration with DICE and published by Electronic Arts.

    + Multiplayer and Campaign
    - Bad and Cliche Story
    - Forgettable Characters
    - Feel Like an Expansion of Battlefield 4
    - Should be a New IP of Cops and Robbers

    For me this game is slightly above average, the story is cliche filled and I think that the only time this game started to be better was at the end. So the singleplayer is not so much to talk about. But the multiplayer on the other hand is the best part about this game, I liked most of the maps and the game modes. The guns were unbalanced, but looked good and sounded even better.For me this game is slightly above average, the story is cliche filled and I think that the only time this game started to be better was at the end.

    I like the multiplayer too. Again it is not very good but enough for a bf game. I don't know what people were expecting.

    Hardline Battlefield game was a beautiful, spectacular and finishing game, but it did not have good graphics and characterization, and this is why I deducted 2 points from this game, 1 point, because it was not as beautiful as Battlefield 4, its story and battlefield It was out of sight until 2016, when Nebar Square 1 was released

    A simple shooter, or rather a game with shooter elements.Honestly, you can say the same thing about it as about call of duty black ops 3, they are the same in terms of semantic load zero.But hardline is a little better in the atmosphere itself than call of duty

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Not a great one. It isn't unplayable, the campaign is actually fairly entertaining, but it could really drop that whole 'next time on battlefield' shtick. I bought the game I don't need to be lured into another chapter. Seeing as multiplayer really doesn't have great gamem-modes or an active base I would suggest buying this on sale to mess around with the campaign.

    Battlefield Hardline offers a single-player campaign reminiscent of cheap CSI episodes, lacking depth. However, the multiplayer mode shines with its unique police vs. criminal dynamics, diverse game modes, and well-designed maps. If you prioritize multiplayer, Battlefield Hardline delivers a thrilling and immersive shooter experience. This game doesn't feel like a Battlefield game.
