    My friends and I play Battlefield together and this is one of the most fun Battlefield games we have played together. I recommend this game for Battlefield fans and anyone wanting to try Battlefield out. This is a good game.

    i have been playing /battlefield Hardline for a while now and i can honestly say it is a enjoyable experience. the new cops and robbers style is a nice change of pace from the usual military type shooter that we have become used to. I was shocked to find that the story of Hardline was extremely good and enjoyable, and i also like the originality of the way it is set out like a tv show.i have been playing /battlefield Hardline for a while now and i can honestly say it is a enjoyable experience. the new cops and robbers style is a nice change of pace from the usual military type shooter that we have become used to.

However if you were expecting a real police like sim you wont find it here because, personally, i found that the story is more comical with some elements of seriousness, which i expected it to be like this because of the formats of episodes (missions), the multiplayer of the game is extremely fast paced compared to the previous Battlefield games this is because of all the new game modes such as blood-money and hot-wire and in my opinion its a nice change from the hour long battles on previous game, also for the people who love the old game modes they still have them, these include team death-match and conquest. over all i think this is a thousand times better than Battlefield 4 and i would say personally it is worth its $60 price tag. i give it a 9/10.

    Do not let these other reviews fool you, yes they clearly moved away from the standard battlefield formula, but they did a great job of it. Singleplayer is interesting and keeps you on the edge of your seat, feels like a true over the top cop drama. Multiplayer has alot of variety.

Singleplayer is interesting and keeps you on the edge of your seat, feels like a true over the top cop drama. Multiplayer has alot of variety. With the obvious standard conquest and team deathmatch but now they have hostage rescue, which feels very counter strike esque, as well as various other objective based games. My personal favorite being hotwire, which is basically conquest but the points are vehicles you need to capture and drive. To answer the question, Yes... it is different than standard battlefield, it has more of an arcadey feel to it. But its not a bad thing. While I have noticed a few bugs on launch, audio and graphical glitches, the game is very stable and an absolute blast. I highly recommend it. Expand

    This is a game that is more along the line of bad company 2 than battlefield 4. If you enjoyed the smaller maps of bad company with the objective based play of rush in bad company 2 than hardline is exactly what you have been waiting for. It is unfair to compare to battlefield 4 because it is not battlefield 5

    I really wanted to like this game...but sadly have to agree with other negative reviewers. Even if this was just a $15 DLC for BF4 (as it should have been) then I still wouldn't buy it...it's just that bad. If you are a BF fan then either stick with BF4 or buy it if you don't have it.

Now I'm really getting concerned that EA and DICE are going mess up Star Wars Battlefront by delivering a game that is simply a reskinned BF4. Expand

    A monumentally fall backwards for Dice in art and level design. I'm extremely disappointed in the effort on Battlefield Hardline to say the least. What happened to this series?

    Sadly, after playing for hours it has become very clear, this is just a DLC of BF4. I've got that sick to my stomach feeling, that realization that I've just wasted my hard earned money. I'm more disappointed in myself then with the developers. Fool me twice, shame on me.

    Battlefield Hardline proves that replacing the franchise landmarks (large maps, wide array of vehicles and weapons) for a narrow, twitch-gameplay, cops and robbers experience is as dumb as it sounds. Luckily the wait for Star Wars Battlefront shouldn't be long now and this miscarriage of the EA-Money Machine can hopefully soon be forgotten.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In this video: https://youtu.be/C6rNTDu6D2Q You can see if the game is Great, Good, Mediocre or Bad. These are my best moments while playing this game in beta. I was playing on PS4, but It's basicaly the same game, with a worse frame rate.
    Honestly, I'd say Battlefield 3 still is the best game of the series.

    Been playing for 15+ hours and I am completely bored. It really kicked as for the first 10 hours though, but holy **** the mp maps have no depth and are simply ugly and have no heart behind them. In fact this whole game feels so empty in that regard. Recycled regurgitated poor quality waste of time.

    So there we have it, a Battlefield game with weak single player and solid if underwhelming multiplayer - absolutely no one saw this coming.

    On the one hand, if you look for a shooter to play in solitary, you can consider this production completely inadequate. On the opposite side, however, we have a multiplayer that works at times, and in its imperfections and its chaos still managed to entertain.

    Visceral's first attempt at a Battlefield game isn't a bad one, but there's little here to be excited about beyond an actual functioning online component.
