    battlefield multiplayer large open ended maps is what makes the series great this feels rushed maps are small,guns feel weak the game is just a massive step in the wrong direction battlefield 4 was also a let down but this is just terriable.

    I'm a big fan of battlefield and mainly play it for it's great multiplayer experience. However, not Hardline. Everything from the level design to the vehicle physics is poor at best.

Everything from the level design to the vehicle physics is poor at best. Visually, it feels more cartoony than it's predecessors and nothing about the multiplayer engages the player for very long. If you like to wait along time before you spawn, an inability to swap teams to play with your friend, spawning in locations surrounded by enemies, waiting along time between respawning and very dull game modes. Then this is the game for you. Compared to BF4 (which also has a few issues but much improved since launch) this game is it's retarded cousin. The cops and robbers theme doesn't really work in my opinion and this game would be best left as a military theme. It's a shame as Battlefield titles seem to have got progressively worse over the last few years. BF3 had great gameplay. BF4 a little less. Hardline...well it should be shot and left in the desert like Atari's E.T.
    If this game is ridiculously cheap or free, sure...try it but I'm sure you'll just end up playing BF4 again after 10mins of this crap.    … Expand

    Battlefield Hardline is exactly what you have come to not expect from a next-gen Battlefield title.

    1) The on-rails solo campaign is not bad, but feels like nothing Battlefield. The solo experience stretches realism with a fanciful cops versus robbers story that is outlandish and out of place in the a realistic shooter series.
    2) Online multiplayer is a complete disaster:
    a) Weapons and gear are purchased with fake cash that is earned through combat, and feel unrewarding and grindish
    b) The few unlockable weapons given for completing professional challenges are completely overpowered and extremely difficult to obtain unless you have a clan, guild, or a group of friends to assist
    c) Spawn points are close together, and enemies often spawn behind you, meaning that combat is not on frenzied, but often broken, position is impossible with the broken spawn system and poor maps
    d) Because of the poor map design and spawn points, experienced players can easily camp a spawn, which results in a dying the moment you appear in the game, this can go on up to 3 to 4 times before the server switches you to a new location
    c) The game modes are devoid of any good vehicles, and are chock full of made-up garbage cars that look like something out of the Simpson's road rage game, and are completely unenjoyable
    d) Gone is aerial combat, gone is tank combat, gone is vehicle combat of nearly any kind
    e) Because of the lack of mechanized combat, you essentially have a striped down Call of Duty game, with none of the variability of game play - if you get board shooting people you can instead try out one of the racing game modes and drive around in circles on a map

    There is really nothing good I can say about this game. It is unredeemable. The concept itself is poor, the execution uninventive. It truly feels like a cops and robbers game mode for BF4 without any of the depth or addictiveness that we have come to expect of the series. Fans of the series look elsewhere, or at least wait until this game is heavily marked down before you purchase.    … Expand

This installment of Battlefield is great if you ask me, lets be real its only so many storylines worth folks time to put out here on the market for FPS game. And all the other good story lines are currently held with an title associated to them, Hardline is the most complete of the series if I must say. The feel of the game is authentic physics are better than previous titles and maps are more relatable due presenting a time current environment. To me its a waste of time to talk graphics, if any aspect of having these next gen consoles would be to expect great visuals unless you have a X1. I purchased Hardline instead of new Mortal Combat and this is after I purchased the DLC for CODAW that was just released. Basically if your looking to send $60 on a game just be sure it will keep you entertained, as for the other FPS titles currently out Hardline out performs them and I would consider the COD series top of the tier of FPS and Hardline blows it out the water easily on all levels I highly recommend this purchase. Oh I know your like he didn't talk about online play, that's because unless your from the stone age or still using a 2 way pager to text you would know battlefield has one oh the best Multiplayer platforms period and leads in the FPS not opinion just fact. Do what I do review games here see screenshots and video and then I go over to Twitch and watch live gameplay from gamers just like me hope to see you on the Battlefield hit me up on PS4 !… Expand

    despite the fact that cops and robbers having RPG's is just way over the top the game itself is a lot of fun and has great graphics. Its also way fun to play in a blow everything up kind of way. The only downside I have with this game is the ratio of map size to team size in team deathmatch. its hard to play with strategy when there are 64 players on a tiny map.

    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.

    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.

    I have always been a COD guy. But this year I decided to give Battlefield a chance to win my heart. So I went out and bought BF Hardline. The single player campaign was kinda enjoyable. But I buy 1st person shooters for the online multiplayer features. Sad to say, but BF Hardline multiplayer is way behind COD. I don't think I'll buy another BF game soon.

    This is the worst "Battlefield" game in the franchise. What about it says Battlefield? Absolutely NOTHING. This is unlike any other Battlefield in the sense that you are in close quarters, spawn trapped constantly, infinitesimally small selection of weapons, cops and robbers, etc. This game should not be purchased by any Battlefield veteran who has been a fan of the series within the last decade.

The multiplayer is wayyyyyy worse than Bf 4. Modes like hotwire and rescue are just jokes to be honest. The game recycled old Bf 4 ideas like the skins and not having vehicles like tanks in a game called BATTLEFIELD is really questionable. My honest opinion is do not buy......like really, save your money. Me as a big fan of the old battlefronts is scared because Dice somehow managed to make a game this inadequate. Finishing the campaign and playing 50 hours of multiplayer was a big waste of my life, and i'm not bad at mp either. It really became less likely after each other especially. I am quite happy I got back at least half of my money back on this so-called "game"… Expand

    Then go to Team Death match thats stuck at a 64 player server only cap on really tiny... tiny maps where you will be shot in the back of the head upon spawning! so if you are lucky to spawn and kill someone in front of you before you die, your doing good! you do this over and over to get weapon unlocks. After your weapons and mods are done.. game is boring as shi*t.

    Literally a dumb down version of battlefield 4. I can see them adding more stuff since they did charge us a $60.00 price tag, but nope.. literally like 6 maps total and they took away like 80 percent of the gadgets and about 50 percent of the vehicles.

U never buy a game and give it a 0. Dont be like cod fanboys who want same sh*t every year. And yes,45% of the ppl who gave it a 0 are cod fanboys. OK u like tanks & jets, but atleast try playing it. AND if u dont want to play it, then dont come around here destroying hardlines image. And its because of u haters, the best of the games also get reduced to 6-6.5 on user score. So here's my opinion on the game:
    PROS
    1. Multiplayer is faster and is more simple.
    2. Maps are less but are wide ranged from short to long.
    3. Hotwire and heist are the best bf modes ever.
    4. Stealth mechanic in single layer is a bit comical and weird, but it allows players to have a different approach to every level.
    5. Progression system in cash is a good way to get good guns early.
    6. Guns feel stable and their recoil is well adjusted

    CONS
    1. Story is same from all crime dramas.
    2. Hotwire's money system is unbalanced as players can get cash easily by just sitting in a car.
    3. No. of guns are less.
    4. Xp boost system is complicated.

    To the critics as well, u gave bf hardline 6 or 7 because u disliked its campaign, so bf4 deserves 5-6.5 score on the basis of the campaign, bcoz bfh campaign in MUCH MUCH MUCH better than bf4's then how does it get 8 or 9's? Multiplayer of the two is a debatable topic, but for me, hardline is faster and better. Yes, the cops and robbers theme sux, but it serves to lay a foundation for new modes and exept rescue, all modes are good.
    P.S.: Critics and haters should see gamespot's lobby discussion on this game where the guy said that bf hardline's multiplayer is "more fun than bf4 ". Then i again ask gamespot, why bfh a 7 and bf4 a 8?

    Multi Player is a fast paced, classic battlefield experience, minus the absence of tanks, which is acceptable considering this is not a true war-zone, and it is realistic that tanks were not added, i applaud this. The gun selection is minimal, This does not deter me personally, but it would be nice to see some DLC Packs include more guns in the near future, The classes are classic battlefield classes with a new name and feel, the customization is on an un-lock and buy with earned money basis, and i like this. it encourages you to do good and play a lot. I love the new cops and robbers inspired game modes, they are very addicting and are a new spin to the battlefield franchise. i have personally logged 40+ Hours into multiplayer and i still have a lot to do. the map selection at this time is minimal, and i would like to see more maps in the future, but the design is far superior to that of call of duty. I Hope to see this game grow and evolve over time, it definitely does not deserve the negativity that it has been getting, and i think a sequel would be the proper thing to do for DICE and Visceral.

    Summary: This is a very playable and fun game, the story mode is exciting but could be a little longer, the multiplayer is classic battlefield multiplayer minus the tanks, and it has a cool new cops and robbers feel with the addition of new cops and robber inspired game modes.    … 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.

    Battlefield Hardline is not a terrible game but I think it would have been a lot better accepted if it was under a different name than battlefield as the game is very.. VERY different from the battlefield chain. The graphics are good but the gameplay can feel slow and sticky at times.

    I just can't imagine people vote a negative score for this one. This one is way better than battlefield 4. Despite the fact it still needs some improvement!

    Pros: - Network code (bullets go now where you aim+shoot) - Good story on SP - in SP you can act like a COP "Shouting freeze to criminals" - MP modes like conquest large and team deathmatch are finally over after a longer    I just can't imagine people vote a negative score for this one. This one is way better than battlefield 4. Despite the fact it still needs some improvement!

    Pros:

    - Network code (bullets go now where you aim+shoot)
    - Good story on SP
    - in SP you can act like a COP "Shouting freeze to criminals"
    - MP modes like conquest large and team deathmatch are finally over after a longer playtime!
    - No more spawn kill, except on team deathmatch
    - Modes like Crosshair and Rescue (comparable to Search and Destroy)
    - When driving vehicles in MP you can turn on your radio! With some great music. Example; Whoop whoop sound of tha police + the enemy can hear your music!
    - Claymores/snipers are improved!
    - On MP the class Enforcer got a shield now! Good in blocking incoming fire!
    - I really like the fact this game is more based on shooting skills instead of people driving with tanks/choppers all days!
    - Its possible to destroy vehicles/choppers etc. with guns! Need alot of bullets though! Depending if you buy and equip some special bullets on your guns. Which deals more damage to vehicles!
    - Grapline hook & Zip line are fun and handy!
    - Some vehicles got a weapon in the trunk! RPG's!!!! handy against tanks or other vehicles!
    - Cop/Criminal feeling
    - Hacker mode->Commander mode
    - Respawn Vehicles
    - After you used a taser on your enemy its possible to interrogate with that person (revealing enemies on your map)

    Cons:

    - Graphics
    - SP is easy
    - MP Modes like Rescue and Crosshair need more people in it (I would say 8vs8 or 10vs10). Max is 10 (5vs5) which makes it to easy with a proper squad/team. Takes 10min or less should be at least 20/30min each game.
    - Not much of a choice in guns on MP! I really hate this! Example: Sniper secondary pistols are all automatic guns! I love the single shot pistols:( all classes have around 6 weapons:S
    - No more squad death match:( I hope they bring this back!
    - Class Enforcer has crap guns!
    - MP mode Heist is to easy
    - MP team deathmatch is basically spawn kill. (maps are to small or 64 people is just to much)

    As you can see most of the cons can be improved by a single update! What will happen in the future as they did that on the previous versions!
    This is your battlefield if you like a more shooting based game(guns vs guns)!    … Expand

    Superficially it might look like a reskin, but Battlefield Hardline is no cop out. [May 2015, p71]

    There's genuine long-term fun to be had in multiplayer modes, but it's not consistent. [June 2015, p.66]

    Its new modes offer a lot, but certain elements feel marginalised. [May 2015, p.89]
