    It doesn't deserve the hate...

    BF: Hardline gave me the most entertaining FPS-shooter experience I've ever played. The mission designs and locations were SO FUN AND AMAZING! The combat was fun asf. The new mechanics were fun to use and made you feel somewhat of a badass, and the story was honestly good. I love this game to death, and while I see how some people don't like it, all I have    It doesn't deserve the hate...

It’s true to prime time crime dramas if that makes sense. Stupid shoot ‘em up cops and robbers with some stealth elements. It could be better, but we’re obviously never gonna get a follow up so just enjoy this one and ignore the haters.… Expand

    This game is actually quite good in my opinion. It's very different from the other titles in this series since it's not about war, but rather about being a cop in Miami. Despite this shift from what Battlefield has always been known for, Hardline pulls it off quite well. The single player is well written, and it gives you the option to choose your loadout, which is something I love. TheThis game is actually quite good in my opinion.

Multiplayer is the same as always, albeit with a different setting. After all these years it's still active, which is a wonderful surprise. I'd recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the franchise but was skeptical of the premise of it.… Expand

    Smooth audio and graphics. Still looks good even when compared to more recent releases.

    Fun single player campaign with great story, characters and acting.

    Really fun multiplayer although due to its age there not necessarily many servers to choose from.

    Definitely worth getting for both single player and multiplayer fun.

Dust Bowl, the beta map, is still my favourite Conquest map. It simply never grows old. Sure, Hardline seems basic ... but that is what a really good shooter should offer. The BASICS must be good. And this is where Hardline nails it. Just give me a gun & ammo, and I will gladly join with 31 teammates to battle it out with 32 other guys/girls on the other side.

    In short: Solid, basic, smooth, 64 person multiplayer gunplay fun

    Really like this game. Took me a bit to earn up. But I've put a lot of hours into it just because it has the most realistic gun play out of any of the other xb1 titles that I have played. It's like battlefield with smaller maps which get the action going well. It's free in the vault for EA access members as well so you can't go wrong.

If people want tactical content and huge battles like I said before, go with BF4.

    Hardline takes all the elements Battlefield players are used to and compresses them into more colorful and urban environments. The color palette is similar to GTA V but infuses tight FPS mechanics along with a frame rate of 60fps which is a noticeable upgrade. It makes for quick online gameplay and a satisfying single player campaign

    Online: EA did a wonderful job marketing the online play with awesome shootouts, explosions, and unique experiences never seen in games before. Even though all these are possible, its rare any of it happens online. I've put 20 hours of online play in, and have never been side by side with an enemy vehicle in an epic shootout with 6 players. Typically what happens online is a chase will occur, the opponent will crash, you will zoom past them while shooting, the driver of your vehicle will stop and turn around, and the opponents have gotten out of their vehicle and are hiding in a building. That said, online play is still great and I'm not done playing. Combining the vehicles and destructible environments make for an endless amount of variables and each session feels different.

    I prefer the gameplay over Call of Duty, but the progression system is slightly frustrating. There are two build outs for the players profile, cops and criminals, then the class loadouts creating a total of 8 different profile builds. Cash acquired during gameplay goes to one central player account, so you have to decide which side you'd like to build. Criminals and Police have access to different weapons, so buying a shotgun may not apply to your police build. Acquiring cash is not easy and you must perform well to make any substantial money, so it can be annoying when you enter a session as the police but most of your weapons were purchased on the criminal side. You essentially have to do everything twice. This gets deeper when you purchase items that apply to classes of that side. A scope for the assault class of your criminal build will make a dent in your pocket and will only apply to a class you may use 20% of the time. I would much prefer to have one repository of weapons that are class specific, so I can clearly invest in something and not feel so constrained. Thats what real life is for.

    The new online game modes are a fresh twist on the series. Dealing mainly with one team trying to steal loot from a location, and the police trying to prevent it. Sometimes this is one location, the loot is actually in vehicles resulting in chases, or can be in multiple locations. At first they are refreshing and new, but I find myself playing classic conquest more than anything else. It enables you to play battlefield for what it is designed for, vehicular mayhem and everything that comes with it. Flying a helicopter, parachuting out of it onto a vantage point, and setting up for sniping is incredibly fun. As the player you feel that you have found something unique and that is what makes this game great. Maps are generally smaller and more urban than previous games, so you get a better sense of where players are and the flow of action, similar to the Call of Duty series.

    Single Player: HIGH PRODUCTION VALUE. Since the protagonist is a police officer, you are encouraged not to shoot all your enemies in sight. You can if you'd like, but the game becomes much harder and EXP is not gained by killing enemies. Instead you must flash your badge and arrest them or tase them. Half points given to tased enemies, but its actually more effective than shooting with a silenced pistol. Flashing the badge in front of three men equipped with body armor, shotguns, bad attitudes, and then arresting all three does not seem like a likely scenario. Especially after you just snuck into a drug compound. These are supposed to be dangerous people. That part seemed off and its a core mechanic of the campaign. It doesn't take away that its fun though, if you are spotted from a distance doing this, you will be shot.

    However the acting, cinematics, and level design is great. You participate in high speed chases, overwhelming shootouts, and environmental hazards that are done very well. The campaign plays like an episodic series so when an episode is complete, its followed by "Next time on Hardline" if you decide to take a break. It shows the highlights of that next episode and get you excited to play. I was surprised how good the single player story was. I would not prefer it over Destiny or Halo, but they did a great job introducing a new character, the supporting players, and progressing the story in a believable way. During the cinematics the expressions of all the characters are perfectly on point and each character's personality is clearly defined by facial expressions alone. The writers and animators at Visceral did a great job and I'm looking forward to their next project. This is one of the first stories in gaming that did not feel like there were cheesy moments.    … Expand

Vehicular gameplay is very appealling, and fun - nothing like flying around in hotwire hanging out of the back of a van with an smg.

    The gamemodes are new (to an extent) and innovative. With blood money, hotwire and heist all bringing a breathe of fresh air to the series, you really do have many hours hours of gameplay available. There are also two competitive 5v5 game modes, if that is what you like. Conquest was brought back; as fun as ever. Team Deathmatch was brought back, and this mode does have a pretty bad spawning system. You spawn in the middle of enemies and they spawn in the middle of you.

    There are some small flaws in it. Yet, it is just so insanely fun I gave it what I feel is a well-deserved ten.    … Expand

For the most part Visceral does a great job, they breath new life into the single player campaign by giving you the choice of stealth or guns a blazin'. Also Special targets to arrest in missions and the freedom to export the environment with grappling hooks and zip-lines witch can completely change your approach to battle. The ability to take it slow and arrest every target as you sneak around is very fun but on the later levels I found I still enjoyed the heavy weapons and their customization. But as enjoyable/Corny as the story was it's not why most people play Battlefield, It's for the multiplayer.
    Multiplayer is even more fast paced compared to BF4, Slightly smaller maps and guns suited for more city combat make it a bit quicker to die but puts you closer to the action. In the new game modes "Hotwire" and "Blood Money" I find the most excitement with Hotwire's car chases and vehicle mayhem and Blood Money's constant back and forth struggle trying to steal the other teams money.
    If you liked BF4/3 for it's vehicle based combat you maybe disappointed with Hardline. The "Cops Vs Robbers" Setup makes it hard to justify tanks and jets for battle. But in the classic "Conquest Large" and other game modes you can still find helicopters and armored trucks to cause destruction.
    All in all if your a fan of the combat in the Battlefield series and BF4 is getting a bit old for you, Hardline maybe a good alternative. Grated it's not perfect but still enjoyable.    … Expand

    So, if you are expecting Hardline to be like 4, it is not. That being said, it really does seem like a great branch out on a fantastic franchise. One thing that I really truly like, and think is marvelous is the single player, not only in gameplay, which is fantastic but the experience of playing it, like a TV show, is really cool.

The game is not meant to be realistic but aim more towards less serious with sarcastic humor cop and robber game. The core mechanics and the gameplay is a lot different than other battle field games. They just share a same engine and look almost the same as battlefield 4. I think EA business practice may alienate many of battlefield fanbase who paid for $60 BF4 premium, but Battlefield Hardline by itself is not a bad or gutted out game.

    The Good:
    Battlefield: Hardline came out one year after battlefield 4, but unlike call of duty, hardline feels like a fresh experience. Hardline is probably one of the better newly release console FPS at the moment for number of reasons.
    1 - Dedicated Server and 66 players. Every competitive FPS players know that dedicate servers are a must for a smooth shooting experience. I honestly couldn't stand P2P when people warping around in COD or Destiny crucible.
    2 - No more grenade spammer / choke point stalemate. Everytime I play battlefield, it is often comes down to a choke point of stalemate and people just spam rockets, grenade, tank fire, LMG across one another. This is no longer the case in hardline as the objective moves around to a random location in hiest, forcing player out of comfort zone. There are also no more LMG. Grenades are also big committment as it is very slow to throw and you only get one per life. There's also no tank in this game.
    3 - Tactical and new gameplay in most mode (except TDM, which reminds me of CQB DLC in BF3). 32 vs 32 or 5v5, you will need a teamwork to win in this game. There's no one of those lonewolf pilot who takes down an entire army. The gunplay has pretty low TTK, but the game aren't very accurate past mid range. Winning gunfight is not always about pulling the trigger first, as the gun are not accurate at all if you're moving. You usually win gunfight if you put yourself in a more advantage situation or tack team up and attack from multiple angle concurrently. The auto-healing and refilling are a nice change as you don't have to focus on dropping ammo/health box as much as watching the corners and your team back while unlocking a vault.
    3 - Good unlock system: This game unlock guns extremely fast. Instead of grinding for 100,000 XP for this one gun, the unlock system revolves around having enough cash to buy the particular gun you want from any classes. After 15 matches of hotwire, I've already unlocked all the weapons I wanted for operator class, and now I do not have to feel like being outgunned by level 50 with all gear unlocked!
    4 - 60 FPS, fast loadtime, fast unlock: The game load very fast, so you'll be spending most of your time playing the game (unless you die so oftem you mostly in loadout screen XD ). The 60 FPS is also very nice.
    5 - Bug less: This is not much of a pro, but consider the past BF experience has always been bug-fested. This one launches surprisingly smooth. After 40 hours of gameplay, I've yet to experience an issue.

    Bad & Cons:
    1 - It's just not worth $60 + Premium. This game shares too much similarity in core mechanics and graphics as battlefield 4. Even with campaign and mutliplayer together, I just don't feel like it worth $60 (comparing to GTA V, Skyrim, and other AAA title). It probably has as much content as COD, which I personally think an overpriced game.
    2- Team Deathmatch is horrible. The maps are just too small for 32vs32 players in TDM. There are far too many instances I just got spawn into a middle of a group of enemies and got instant killed.
    3 - Graphics could use an update. Although it is running at 60 FPS, the graphics are not next-gen at all. It looks too similar to BF4 with less destructible environment (due to lack of explosive options probably)
    4 - Lack of gun variety. There are usually 3-5 guns per each class per each team. Although each gun has their own unique stats, I just feel like there are too few options for us to choose from.

    So for those who never owned BF4, but enjoyed the call of duty series but want some more tactical gameplay with dedicated server support, then Hardline is a good buy. But for those who look for another authentic battlefield experience with lots explosive actions and destructible environment, you won't find it here.    … Expand

    This game is not actually that bad. IF YOU ARE BUYING THIS FOR MULTIPLAYER BE WARNED IT FEELS LIKE DLC but the campaign actually innovates giving you multiple ways to complete each objective. the story and voice acting are great and the multiplayer is still great (even though it doesn't innovate that much).
