The self revive thing is one of those, ideas that at first seems like a good/possibly fun idea but in practice it just doesn't work.
Look at cod4, the last stand perk seemed like a fun idea but in practice was nothing but a menace.

Surprised they didn't go with martydom which was another COD feature.

It's fun, but it's nothing new or fresh. I've bought most of the BF games over the years, but I'm not sure I'll be buying this one. The game modes in the beta just seem like variations of capture the flag.

exactly, after one hour, removed it. Dice need to go back to their road map of 4-6 years between each BF series.

Well that's simply not true is it

2002 - Battlefield 1942
2004 - Battlefield Vietnam
2005 - Battlefield 2
2006 - Battlefield 2142
2008 - Battlefield Bad Company
2010 - Battlefield Bad Company 2
2011 - Battlefield 3
2013 - Battlefield 4

Just tried it,Doesn't appeal to me in anyway to be honest...didn't find it fun,Spawns were terrible.

I wish there were more games companies making more Cops & robbers games,The ones we have now didn't get it right imo..like Payday etc.

Fully agree, there's nothing worth than having to put someone down not once, but twice. I have memories of getting killed by last stand perks with G18's lol.

I'll be honest, I haven't played the beta but nothing about this game seems at all exciting. It looks like an expansion pack to BF4 and a bad one at that.

Yup, i'm with you on that. For the first time ever i've fired up a new BF game, played a few rounds and thought "meh".

The rage from BB just now. I think he's enjoying it too much

I certainly don't find it as fun as BF4. Also, the upgrade system on weapons is far too forgiving. You need hardly any kills to get everything unlocked. It's definitely pandering to a more casual crowd.

when did you first apply?

Monday night about 11pm.

BF4 copied and pasted. This game is a joke imo. They could have easily tacked it on to BF4 as dlc.

Woop, got the Beta...finally.
Downloading now, lets see what its like.

Worked we'll for me earlier, someone killed me in a lift, I then proceeded to use the self revive with him still in the lift. I then got my trusty old baseball bat out and whacked him over the head. He as we'll as I laughed our heads off

Just did my first game, tense. Had the loot, 0 tickets, had to cross map without dying, made it

Aww man. I applied around 9pm on Monday and multiple times since but haven't got a code

LegendaryDread · 13 Jun 2014 at 20:04

Hardline is to BF4 as Special Forces was to BF2 (-innovation +price)

tbyeah · 13 Jun 2014 at 20:11

God the music is awful though, and I can see it getting old quickly. Won't be buying at full price but nice to play the beta

I think it's just luck, I applied loads of times, my first attempt was a few hours after it went live. It's only until today I finally got a code.

I never received a code but it appeared in my Origin folder, if you haven't checked just restart the client and it might be there.

I think this is the general opinion about this game. Its kind of fun but if you're a BF4 player it doesn't add anything new or exciting - more of an add on, DLC that you would spend £10 on.

It's kind of sad but I can't see this title doing very well at all.
