*** Official Battlefield: Hardline Thread ***

Just had a couple of games for the first time.

It's not bad actually. Like the cops and robbers theme. Agree about the destructible buildings though.

Sat on dustbowl as sniper on the centre flag and just picked people off, if the 2 buildings were collapsible then I wouldn't have been as effective. The blur on that map is needless though in the sandstorm.

Not gonna buy it until there's deals on as I don't think it's worth the full RRP.
 
I had a pretty good night on it last night, Hot wire and heist are the better mode's imo, but i did have a few issues with the game, the TTK was far to quick, and spawns were crap sometimes meaning insta death.

Dust bowl has a few invisible walls you cant shoot through, saw people sliding around the floor, the sand storm is annoying, but is done well with the s=wind sound's and blurry vision.

Hot wire was a god laugh, but the RPG/smaw being a 1 hit kill is annoying, they should have implemented a Stinger gadget to burst tyres giving a disable or something, meaning placement would be more tactical.

Sniping is crazy on this, so easy to hit and drop people, the straight pull's are really quick, i quite enjoyed it, Shot guns are a joke, medium range they can 1 hit kill you which was crazy, and the menu is awful, really really awful.

Yes for the most part I enjoy BF4, though feel the maps load outs etc where better in BF3.

The problem I have with these titles is they slap BF title on a game that's clearly not it, then sell them.

Whist this goes on and people buy into this churning out of mediocre half finished games, that's what ALL of us are going to get.

Medla of Honour was a solid line of game then they made it their " every other year" filler game, now we have this spin off under the BF title.

The other huge thing to remember about BC2 was the Vietnam pack..I think ti was about £7 for it, that was a whole new multiplayer section of the game, which is pretty much what this should have been., and it played much better than this!

Very much so but having watched your 'highlights' video, 90% of it was you stood on a street corner shooting at passing cars and trucks.. that just screams fun!!!!! :)
 
Roll on March! This and Project CARS will do me nicely. I like the depth of unlocks as well, I started using the CS gas and the gas mask, hurl a gas grenade into a crowd of enemies and clean up :-)

Actually just realised this and Project Cars come out on the same day which is bad timing if I wanted to play both anyway as I can see Project Cars eating up most of my spare time as I practice for the league.
 
What a load of **** not into it at all. It's like they have mixed battlefield, call of duty and GTA together and got this odd mix that doesn't work, It just don't gel well. Won't be buying this at release. First one for a while that I won't as well.

EA's marketing activites aside, there will be those of us who think that it's a pretty decent battlefield game. TBH I can't wait to play 64 player conquest on Downtown!

No doubt mate, personally I found the last beta a bit odd. I couldn't work out why but it certainly didn't feel like a battlefield game. I'll try this beta out before making a proper judgement.
 
With all the thinking of the MP part I totally forgot that the single player is being done by Visceral Games and I loved their Dead Space games. That alone may actually mean I get this on release anyway..

I hate to point out the obvious but this game looks massively different to Dead Space :p.

Very subjective point of view there, and a lot of what so you you contrdict yourself! Bit suprised at so much negativity towards this, played it for a few hours now, Hotwire is a riot, I was literally laughing at many points how fun it is, Heist is a very tactical showcase and conquest was the usual decent fun. Enjoyed it a lot so far to say the least! This will be a day 1 pickup for me. Really don't see a lot of peoples critcisms. Netcode seems fine for me, sounds suspiciously like butthurt in a lot of posters here.

Where's the contradiction? And of course it's subjective, it's my opinion. It's pretty much impossible for such statements to not be subjective. To be clear, I'd love to love this game. The premise sounds great and executed properly it could be brilliant. I just feel that, as it is, the game isn't very good.

I guess it has just hit the spot for you, which is great. Seemingly, the majority of the rest of us don't feel the same way.

Isn't that what happens in a real bank heist?

The police camp outside and wait for the robbers :D.

I'm pretty sure it usually goes something like:

Robbers break in to building, take hostages.
Robbers get in to vault.
Police show up, surround building.
The police spend hours/days trying to talk the robbers down.
The police get fed up, send a special unit in to take the robbers out.
Some of the police, robbers and hostages die, the rest of the robbers surrender.

Game Over.

I'm not convinced that would be much fun though.

:D.

on a side note I just had a game of conquest on this, this is my verdict summed up in two words.

its ok

I think the game would be quite good playing together as a team, you seem to die very quite quickly. The map lay out seems pretty poor on the dusty map.

Does anyone fancy squading up?
