I find the whole battlefield interface very cluttered and messy. I've give up with it, it was way to hectic.

I played a few rounds and I quite enjoyed it. I have no real desire to buy it though.
I love it, much more like BF3 infantry maps but moreso BC - most guns are 1 bullet less to kill than BF4 (post making most of them 24 damage)and SMG fire rate is wild - 1200 hence people thinking they are getting one shotted.
Shotguns with magnum and M16 will get nerfed - it's a beta after all....
Anyhoo, great fun and will pick it up to compliment BF4 and not replace it - 650+ hours on that so i am a bit of a fan
You are exactly correct mate. about the damage/accuracy. I really like the cops/robbers theme so I think this will take over BF4 for me, I can't wait to see the new maps!!!!!

I've played 3-4 hours and I enjoy it for what it is. I think had it not been lumped with the battlefield title it wouldn't receive so much hate.
I understand the view people have that it isn't worthy of a full retail release but on the other hand a full retail release is only £39 and given that if it was DLC it would be priced purely on digital prices and thus be 30% over what it should be.
So really the £39 physical release is not a whole lot more than DLC prices.
Look at Destiny DLC - £35 or 2x £20 and there is less content in that over the original game than there is in Hardline from BF main series.
So when looking at it like that I don't have an issue with it.
I think it needs some tweaks though. Graphics could be better and some animations need improving and I think they need to add more rocket launchers into Hotwire mode.
In each game of that I drove around the entire round in 1 vehicle without getting hit by just keeping my speed up around the edges. 2 mates did the same so we had 3 points all round, each time and won easily. Were too spread out for them to stop.
More explosives could help with that and keep it more chaotic.
Characters also speak far too often so cut that right down.
Range of shotguns seems a bit OP. I could get 1 hit kills from quite a distance.
Overall though the game modes were fun and the netcode and everything runs very smoothly for me. I can aim for headshots and get them easier than on BF4 - especially with pistols.
I'm not sure if I'll buy on release yet but I'm at the stage of 'happy to see/try more' and then go from there
What I like over BF4 is the madness that can quickly ensue and for me that is what they need to focus on. Less serious than Bf4 - keep it fun, chaotic and over the top.

I don't even know why the gave it a BF title. Should have come up with a new name and made it a separate series.
Because with the BF name it will sell by the truckload.

more disturbing is the fact these clowns (ea) and their cronies are doing star wars and u just know what could be one of the best selling games ever is going to be ruined .
i tried to give hardline time but i just hated everything about it from the recoil on the guns to the insta deaths and the dated graphics

You should make a distinction between EA (publisher) and DICE (developer)

It's pretty awful, I know that graphics aren't everything and they probably aren't fully representative of the finished product but they're truly terrible. Playing it on the Xbox One the graphics look hardly any better than the BF games on last gen consoles. The menus are poorly designed and a pain to navigate, the hit reg is inconsistent and the layout of the demo maps is pretty appalling. The vehicles handle like shopping carts and the fact that both the police and the criminals still have parachutes at all times is just laughable.
If other people are enjoying it then good for them but I fail to see how this is an improvement on BF4 and in all respects actually seems like a massive step backward.

I'm not taking it personaly or being defensive about it, i was just bantering with the usual trolls... incidentally don't take that as an invitiation to spam me with anymore juvenile vindictiveness please. The beta is not bad but not perfect is my point of view, however i like the maps and modes and the slightly faster gameplay is a cool feature. We'll see how the single player plays out. Just to note some people who i play BF4 with say that it takes waaaay too many bullets to kill in BF4 outside of hardcore and therefore only ever play hardcore, so a reduced damage limit is not a problem for everyone!

You tried hotwire mode? When you get some car chases going it is crazy fun. Nice to see a game mode that encourages you to use the vehicles for a team purpose.
