Battlefield: Hardline

I think this game might be the equivalent to CoD: Ghosts, meaning it's sorely underrated. I know most players didn't find the cops vs robbers aspect of the game amusing and I get it. Recently I've been throwing Hardline's campaign/multiplayer modes on due to the lack of content and change in direction in Battlefield 2042. The multiplayer runs pretty similar to BF4's but with new gadgets, a currency system, and the whole cops/robbers twist. The gameplay however feels just right, almost like butter on a warm pan. New gadgets like zip-lines and grappling hooks opened up new ways of movement and verticality. The grappling hook must've been inspired by R6: Siege and I didn't mind that at all. Hardline uses the same engine BF4 used, Frost Bite 3. The 2 year difference in titles allowed the devs to sharpen up and perfect the movement and visuals used in Hardline. I'm glad they did not number this title. The vibe I get from playing this spinoff resembles something from Miami Vice or GTA Online even. Chasing bad guys down in the LA River, launching firefights in the Florida Everglades, and raiding Hollywood mansions felt surreal when playing. The campaign offered some nice upgrades too. A new stealth system, similar to the Far Cry games, allowed players to complete missions their way. The score/music in the background matched perfectly with what was happening in game, whether it was sneaking through a cartel meth lab or driving down the streets in Miami. Ultimately, I'm finding a lot of fun in this old Battlefield project. In the future, I'd hope to play a new battlefield game that was built like Hardline. Meaning, it took the best aspects of it's previous titles and used it as a foundation.

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).

What a shame this is the last game that came from this amazing studio. That being said, it's a decent romp I suppose though it feels really odd as an entry into the Battlefield franchise. Multiplayer is typical Battlefield but with a "cops and robbers" paint job, the campaign is cliche and often cringe, the episodic format is kinda cool as far as mission structure though. You could do worse for a shooter romp. You can do better too.

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

Battlefield Hardline is another installment of the series, which this time focuses mainly on street clashes between police departments and groups of criminals who, wanting to get rich, commit crimes and escape from justice. The game offers both online and offline modes, which add an interesting variety to the gameplay.

Unfortunately, the offline mode, from which I expected a lot, completely disappointed me. The plot is shallow and predictable, and the characters do not have deeper motivations - they are even exaggerated. The main character, Nicholas Mendoza, is a character who can be found in almost every series, movie or game with a similar theme. He is devoid of depth and presented as a stereotypical "good cop".

Unfortunately, the online mode also does not meet expectations. The game suffers from numerous bugs, and the gameplay itself is too fast and lacks any elements of strategy. Small maps additionally take away the fun of the game, and the whole thing does not meet the standards that players expect from the Battlefield series.

The game had potential, which unfortunately was wasted in a concert way. The campaign is passable, but too short to keep the player engaged for long. The online mode, however, leaves much to be desired.
