BF Hardline Visceral Games

Campaign is ok, certainly different, I dont mind the change of pace from normal BF games, but it's getting a bit boring now after 4 episodes. It's just feels to me like it can't find it's identity, are you a good cop arresting people or a tank driving merc blowing things up lol.
 
I've had a good few hours on it now and I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit. Single player seems to be the best story line in a BF game since Bad Company 1/2 and is holding my interest so far. Multiplayer seems well balanced and none of the bugs that plagued BF4 at launch. TDM is an absolute cluster ****, but that is to be expected especially when it's 64 player mode. My only gripe is Hotwire as it's so easy to rank up which isn't necessarily a good thing, jump in a vehicle and rack up 20k+ points in a single game seems to be a pretty common occurrence!
 
Campaign:

- cut scenes..... cut scenes galore
- you either go ham and kill everyone or spend the entire time showing your badge and arresting people lol

My thoughts on the MP so far...:

- insane TTK, feels like bf 3 hardcore but worse...
- OP weapons, that ****ing god damn k10.....
- spawns are ****
- campers!

They really need to increase the TTK, essentially who ever has the quickest reactions + internet + 144HZ screen and/or camps can rape/do very well quite easily now.... precise aim doesn't seem to matter much.
 
Need someone to play hotwire with as I've started to unlock the car upgrades (RPG, Anti Air etc). Should make conquest a little more fun now I can fight back a little harder :D

just been playing for a good solid 2 and half hours did a full rotation of hotwire . Loving it actually had some really good games . Pulled off a shot with the Nade launcher while the driver turned took out a full chopper haha
 
Been playing SP. I am enjoying it but the hit boxes & weapon physics seem a bit off. For example head shots from pistols at close range and sniper rifles at medium to long range. Sometimes you will kill with one hit, others you will not and set off alerts. Frustrating!

Also there appears to be a bug in the takedown arrest system. Several times now I have had to restart a checkpoint because after taking down 4 guys, for example, I simply melee the 5th guy in the face instead of arresting him. Enemy alert and chaos ensues! :(

But so far it is OK. Does seem pretty repetitive and formulaic so far though. Essentially the only choices you have are go through the linear levels quietly or loudly.

I have been trying to arrest as many people as I can. I have also been trying to find all the evidence and weapons. I am playing on veteran and keep restarting checkpoints if I alert anyone. So it's been slower progress. I have only just got to the mall, which is part of episode 4 or 5 I think.

I like the style and attention to detail in the SP. Story and voice acting are so far superb. Just a shame about all the cutscenes and hand holding. So far, overall I would say 7/10.
