Battlefield: Hardline

The most interesting thing about Hardline is the change of direction. For the first time in this series we see something special. Set in modern day, in the city, no battlefields, no soldiers. It's a cop procedural. I found it interesting. Since we haven't seen Battlefield this way I was excited to see what was waiting. Playing as a detective is fun and amazing. This story feels like a playable tv series with a Netflix-feeling. Sure the story wasn't that deep or emotional in that way. But it was enjoyable to discover Los Angeles and Miami, in a gangster environment. A bit too much cliche sometimes and too less storytelling, actually the beginning of the campaign gave us some time to get to know Kai and Mendoza still. And the ending, I found it likeable. It shows were Mendoza have gotten for this point of time. And the face off between Mendoza and the "antagonist" pretty cool. And of course like the Hollywood movies this game tried to represent, it had a little twist ending. The story wasn't deep, but it was a fun Hollywood experience with evident antagonists.

Multiplayer is cool. All these game modes, this cop vs criminal style is perfect setting of the game. I feel that this game suceeded with making something special and it gave Battlefield some fresh air.

So i just bought this game and played 1 game of every game mode, Here is my review on some of them:

Hotwire 9/10: Awesome new game mode, A lot of action, nice teammates, ( not those asshole teammates from cod) You can play as thiefs or as cops. There are 3 or more cars in the map, You need to steal them and drive around with them, While driving you get points for capturing, The team that as 0 points loses,

Heist 7/10 : Fun but not my favorite, Played it in the beta, i liked it but it becomes boring after a while,

You can play as cop or thief

Cop: Protect the cash from being stolen by the thiefs, Thiefs: Steal the cash and bring it to the pick up point, once you collect all the money you win.

Sorry for my bad English, im 16 years old and from the netherlands, my English is not really good

It starts off pretty good but gets boring. Either way it was fun for the couple of missions. I played it for a while until the game crashed and I lost my progress for the mission i was doing.

A new take on the BF series, definitely fun to play in different modes and break the traditional gameplay. Installing the content takes hours, and you are limited to the 7min prologue when you first set up the game. I've read forums and reviews and apparently there is not much that users (or EA) can do about it but just sit and wait for hours on end. Estimated wait time is around 7.5 hours to install full game. And yes it's 2020 and still no solution for a game that was released more than 4 years ago.

Some cool actors added to the cast, although the story is sometimes a bit predictable and too much cliché if you ask me.

Great fun outside of the traditional with new game modes, but if you are new to the game you better be patient when installing it.

One of my fav Battlefield games, next to Bad Company 2. Great characters and story!

I've never played Battlefield games online, never seen the point in them (I'm not a sporty person, so deathmatch type run and gun scenarios, with no reason behind why you're shooting at the other team/players other than win the match, have no meaning to me).
