If you listen to Moogleys.

What is this game supposed to feel like other than Battlefield, the hint is in the name .

Some battlefield games were good: 1942, BF2, BC, some are ****, ala BF4.

If this is more like BF4, it's one to avoid.

I loved bf4. Buggy as hell at the start but once it got going it was brilliant fun.

It feels like it should be an add on rather than a full game. Not sure if I like it or not but to me it's BF4 with a few different game modes.

I thought everybody was moaning about how this wasn't a proper battlefield game

How can it be just like BF4, but not be a proper battlefield game and nothing like it, so much so that it shouldn't have battlefield in its name ?

Haters gonna hate.

What exactly has it got in common with BF4 apart from the fact it involves shooting people with guns and has a conquest mode ?

I seriously want one, but with the final balance on our august holiday to florida not yet paid off and due to May, I just can't justify the £300 with the wife So going to have to get it on Xbox One.

Will definitely be getting a PS4 later in the year however when the holiday is paid finished being paid for etc..

Holiday to Florida is the better option, you could always buy a PS4 whilst you're in Florida

The problem is it feels just like a mod for BF4, you know how CS started out as a mod for HL all those years ago.

But EA gonna EA and they release this as a full priced game with a premium pass too boot.

What kind of like how CS GO feels like a graphically updated CS 1.6?

If your formula works, why change it. BF4 has changed dramatically since launch and is a much better game then other editions.

Do shopto still offer £5 if the game arrives late?

Mull3t · 20 Mar 2015 at 11:40

ShopTo are awful, I was ShopTo through and through until before Christmas for a solid 2 years. Since then prices are just crazy and I started getting pre orders turn up a day or 2 late.

Spikey · 20 Mar 2015 at 11:45

Any news on supermarket prices?

Mull3t · 20 Mar 2015 at 12:22

Asda are £44, I heard tesco had to take the game off sale as the tills wasn't recongnising the barcode...

Thing is, if they changed it too much, the battlefield fans wouldn't buy it.

They already changed it enough to get some moaning it isn't a proper battlefield game. There's no jets, no tanks, the vehicles are present, but by and large swapped for civilian vehicles which don't usually appear in battlefield

They've changed the game modes, with only really TDM and conquest staying the same. They messed with the TTK and the weapon balancing, and changed the class balance too.

About the only thing wrong with it is that its not got a brand new engine and uses the BF4 engine. But given how long DICE LA spent getting the BF4 engine right and sharing that with Visceral. This is a GOOD thing. The last thing we needed was for visceral to try and write a new engine and then go through all the work getting it right, when DICE LA was literally doing just that with the BF4 engine while hardline was in production.

Mull3t · 20 Mar 2015 at 14:07

It'll never please everyone, you only have to look at the COD fan base, they begged and begged for it to be changed and now they have wall running and jet packs they want the opposite again.

I'm not talking about changing it, I am saying this game just seems like a BF4 cops and robbers mod pack, it's how it felt in the beta and it's why I am not buying it.

I think it would have been received a lot better if they would have released it as a full on mod for BF4 at a cut price (say £20) instead of full retail + premium taking this experience to a cost of £100 od pounds.

Same here, another order that shipped the same day arrived yesterday but not BF.. I don't believe they actually shipped it then just prepared it to be shipped. I've purchased a copy elsewhere and will be sending mine back to them when/if it arrives.

Jase · 20 Mar 2015 at 15:22

Well Blood Money is a waste of time, basically just a camp fest, I watched my squad not move for an entire game and pretty much the same for the other side.

RumbleBee · 20 Mar 2015 at 15:47

Hey. Is anyone playing this yet? I have a quick question which might see odd.

My 11 year old wanted this game and I've always been okay with him playing COD (Multiplayer Only), but I heard this games multiplayer is packed to the rafters with swearing. Okay I know it's an 18 rated game and this is due to the violance more than anything, but I'm not keen on him hearing cursing continosly while playing. This has never been a problem with COD, but he says his friends are moving onto BF Hardline now.

Sure it's easy to say that I'm stupid for thinking violance is okay, but swearing is not and to tell me to sod off, but just wanted to check a few things.

Can you disable the profanity?
or can you disable the NPC Voice (assuming it is an NPC)?

failing the above can I switch the language on the UK version?

ShortWarning · 20 Mar 2015 at 15:48

Did he ever use voice coms in COD online? If so I'm sure he's heard his fair share of swearing...
