    The multi-player is incredible there are so many modes to choose from which will keep you entertained for hours. And being able to play as a criminal just adds the icing to the game.    … Expand

    the experience I'm having is very good, I'm really enjoying the game, it was time for a cop and robber game and this hardline al. The graphics are good, otimo sound effect, a very tasty environment, who did not like wait bf 5, but I think the truth in 2017 many asked bf hardline 2, I found a great job and did not think he deserved to be a dlc because the story in single player this environment.

    Great game! Love the new take on Battlefield. The new game modes are a lot of fun and will add the the replay value. Much more stable launch than BF4. Some minor glitches, but overall a very stable first day. I was so surprised how much fun I had. I am so excited for more maps. The single player mode is really cool and adds to the fun for such a great game.

    Really enjoyed the game had a blast, I think it was well worth the purchase plus there are some great game modes introduced which give a fresh feel to the series.

    Online runs really smooth without any lag or server issues not noticed any hit detection issues which when compared to BF4 at launch is a massive positive.

    The maps are a good mix, there are a few huge maps like what we are used to and there are also some smaller maps which brings a nice change gameplay wise as its action packed. Level progression I enjoyed much more with earning money and being able to spend it on whatever upgrades I like.

    The only negative I can give this game is that it is not a massive step from BF4 gameplay wise, but with the new modes etc. it is much more worthy than dlc as some have suggested.

    My views are based on multiplayer as I have not tried single player yet, although I have heard it is one of the best in the series to date.    … Expand

    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 understand it is not a traditional Battlefield game in that the environment is not entirely destructible (more focus on the small set pieces) and the focus on vehicle combat has been greatly reduced. The game also moves at a much faster pace, with more punishing bullet damage and a stronger emphasis on quick, calculated combat. This is Visceral's love letter to CS and Payday, and they write it beautifully. All mechanics feel smooth and load times are FAST by comparison to other Battlefield entries (from end game to new spawn maybe 30 seconds). I personally had no server issues at all in my 5 hour play test span, which is a damn miracle in itself. The gun variety is there but not overwhelming, and you need money to purchase everything (or hope you get lucky when opening a Battle Pack), so making that next purchase has a weight to it similar to that found in Payday. All modes actually feel different rather than the typical Battlefield MO of using the same mechanic is a slightly larger (or smaller) setting. The 32-32 Team Deathmatch was a blast, as well as the signature Heist mode and the Counter Strike clone mode "Rescue". Vehicles are a little too cut and dry, and it almost feels like they are used almost exclusively for travel purposes. The driving mechanics are solid and very reminiscent of traditional Battlefield controls and responsiveness. Gun-play is solid, not much in terms of evolution on the new engine, which is probably my biggest gripe. The game is incredibly detailed and the level design is gorgeous, but there is a TON of empty space in many levels. With the focus moving to more of a fast paced, CQC style play and vehicles being put on the back-burner, it seems strange to force these mechanics to be useful with the addition of vast, empty landscapes. However, it detracts very little from the overall experience, and having Ted Nugent belting out the lyrics to Stranglehold while I siege a mansion from the front seat of a cop car is a priceless memory I will cherish for some time. 9/10, Visceral proves they can run with a good concept, and re-imagines the world of Battlefield with great success.… Expand

    Franchise sequels, apparently, can't be made without some complaining that it's too derivative of the previous game. As a long-time Battlefield fan, I'm having a blast with Battlefield: Frontline and I don't understand the hate even by the gaming media. I know what a good Battlefield game is, and this one is excellent.

As a long-time Battlefield fan, I'm having a blast with Battlefield: Frontline and I don't understand the hate even by the gaming media. I know what a good Battlefield game is, and this one is excellent.

    To address some complaints;

    1) Some players are complaining that this should be DLC for BF4 because the assets are too similar to earlier games. Try to understand that in order for a game to fit in the Battlefield franchise, it needs to share certain aesthetic and gameplay similarities, otherwise it feels like a different game with franchise name slapped on it. If your issue is that it's not a drastically different experience from BF4, you may have some point because it's still a BF game and it has some of the same game modes like Conquest. Sorry, Conquest needs to be in every Battlefield game almost by tradition - it's expected.

    2) In the single player, some folks are complaining that the stealth gameplay feels a little silly because bad guys get taken down very easily just for flashing a badge. So, it may be somewhat true but I'll be darned if it's not a heck of a lot of fun. When you stop and think about it, it's identical to practically every game in the Metal Gear series. It's by design - in MGS, Snake does all of these same things and the guards act the same way (i.e; myopic guards, guards to give up searching for you after 60 seconds, etc.) It's not a problem in MGS but it is in Hardline? I don't think so.

    The game plays very well and is a leap ahead in single player campaigns for the genre. Maybe next year, making a BF game so similar to BF4 and Hardline won't be acceptable anymore, but for right now it still works for me.    … Expand

    The multiplayer is not your typical battlefield game, this is both good and bad. I have always like the huge scale of the battlefield maps along with all the different military vehicles you could use. it really felt like a battlefield and you could approach them how you wanted, either by running head in to where the fighting was or stealthily approach from a distance. in conquest you could move from point to point with skirmishes against the other team along the way.

    In this games all the maps are so small compared to previous battlefield games that you really don't have time to breath. For instance in death match there are sooooo many people in such a small map that half the time you are literally spawning right next to players of the opposing team and getting shot from 12 directions at once, death matches really are not fun at all in this game. Conquest maps are better but still far too small in my opinion. Secondly the vehicles are no where near as good in this version as previous battlefields. They really made this version a lot more like call of duty but failed in doing so in a lot of ways.

    There are some fun new MP modes though. I enjoyed both Heists and blood money modes, although again I feel the maps could be a bit bigger and at least in blood money, more than one pile of cash to go for in order to spread players out just a bit more.    … Expand
