Ok so I'm a huge BF4 fan, now you've all been playing a few weeks is this BF Hardline worth the buying?
It is up to you. It is by no means a bad game but there are some really irritating balancing issues as well as
**** poor server tick rate and stupidly low TTK (which combine to mean that pretty much whoever sees who first, wins). Ridiculously OP grenades are another irritation. If one lands within 10m of you, chances are it is going to kill you
Yet the HE grenade launchers are
**** poor against everything. For example, a frag grenade will destroy a white van in one go. It takes 2-3 hits with a HE grenade launcher to do the same job! Utterly stupid. You can't even kill infantry with a direct HE grenade to the chest it is so weak. Helicopters are totally OP as it stands unless you get someone with a fetish for stingers, but a good pilot with a repper can tackle that to some degree.
It can go from fun to a grind very quickly depending on the teams. When you are in a team full of clueless players it becomes tedious, but when you are in a squad with comms with players who do know what they are doing the experience completely transforms. The balancing issues still suck balls, but you can mitigate much of it with tight teamplay.
Ergo - if you want to play on your own as a lone wolf (like Dg
) it might not be the best time to buy. Retarded spawn system, weapon balancing and team balancing can make this game very frustrating.
If you have friends who play and you can get into a squad on comms it might be worth a go for you. It is certainly faster than BF4 and much more infantry orientated if that is your thing. But if you are after a pure run and gun shooter, CoD:AW might be more your cup of tea.
