Aesthetically, some of the maps look real nice, good work on making them not look like BF4 maps at the very least.

Hardline will also have a 6 hour early trial for XB1 owners via its EA early access thingymajigger.

Some new mini gameplay, dat micro destruction.

Blood Money on Hollywood Heights

Heist on BJ

CQ on the Block

CQ on Dustbowl

Updated thread. No replies?

Hardline is DAD

CosmicQueso · Jan 21, 2015

Nice OP. I'll reply. It's a game without an audience, apparently.

ReturnOfTheRAT · Jan 21, 2015

Visceral (and EA) put themselves in a hard spot with this game, and I'm not even talking about citizen vs. police sentiment.

SUPERJEM94 · Jan 21, 2015

More maps to try out, nice. Actually looking forward for the beta.

thenexus6 · Jan 21, 2015

I didn't like the alpha or whatever from last year much, willing to give this new one a shot.

It isn't being developed by DICE. It's by Visceral, the studio behind Dead Space.

Pankratous · Jan 21, 2015

Is the resolution of this game confirmed for PS4 yet?

Freedom = $1.05 · Jan 21, 2015

When's the beta and how do you sign up? I'll give it another shot.

Hip Hop · Jan 21, 2015

6 hour early access?

do you have to buy the game or just susbscribe to the program?

zychi · Jan 21, 2015

Should've been an expansion pack for BF4. I won't be playing this until its under $10 on PC. BF4 was a mess at launch and I'm voting with my wallet.

No need, open to everyone.

No date specified, because they're weird.

meanspartan · Jan 21, 2015

Im gonna wait and see if it works. If it does and gets at least decent reviews, Ill pick it up. Ps4 early alpha or whatever that demo was called last summer was fun.

TheSadRanger · Jan 21, 2015

Any word on how many maps have "levolution" like Paracel Storm or Flood Zone in BF4?

JumpJeff84 · Jan 21, 2015

I'm interested in this pretty much solely for the campaign.

I love Dead Space, hoping that catch some of that magic here. It may end up being some shitty 6-hour corridor campaign, but I'm hoping for something with some depth and intrigue. We'll see.

Have they talked much about the campaign, other than the brief video they showed at the Keighley awards?

t0rment · Jan 21, 2015

this game looks so unappealing, i don't know why.

Open for all, or open for PS+/XBLG subs? (I presume the latter.)

Good question, it's MP only so I assume you would need a sub to play anyway.

-tetsuo- · Jan 21, 2015

Pretty crazy how I have absolutely zero interest in this game when I had like 500 hours in BF3.

Razgriz-Specter · Jan 21, 2015

After the test from last summer there is no way i'd buy this, the police theme might have worked better in a Bad Company Battlefield but as is just doesn't work.

bruh how u gon talk all this and not give a date so weird.

Battlefield: Hardline is cancelled Police Warfare game, confirmed.

dex3108 · Jan 21, 2015

I still can't believe that Bad Company 2 had full destruction and later BF games minimal destruction.

Yes a full single player campaign and full suite of multiplayer maps and modes should have been an expansion pack. Totally can see that

Also it was delayed out of last year and competing with CoD due to them making sure BF4 type launch doesn't happen. If they just shoved it out the door rather than delaying it and listening to the feedback from the E3 beta I may agree with you.

Bad Company 2 was the peak of the series for sure and they need to go back to it. No idea why they backed off destructibility.

Anton Sugar · Jan 21, 2015

The beta is going to make or break this game.

dex3108 said:

This isn't quite true. Structures in BC2 were, at most, three stories tall. Most were 1-2 story tiny ass houses or huts. It was easy to make those destructible.

The scale of BF3 and BF4 is staggering compared to BC2, in terms of buildings you can enter. I agree that they scaled in back in BF3, unnecessarily so, but BF4 has the same types of fully destructible buildings as BC2.

Gnome Scat · Jan 21, 2015

I'll definitely check out the Beta, but I'm still not sold.

Shady859 · Jan 21, 2015

The first beta wasn't that great. I'm still down to try another beta and maybe even drop $5 on a month of EA Access to play the 6 hours and see what real thing is like.

It's really weird.

They need to go back to that.

Need to release the damn beta.

They're leading development on both the single and multiplayer according to this tweet

https://twitter.com/leveluptime/status/472471630917029888

The lead multiplayer designer is Thaddeus Sasser, and he works at Visceral.

Bread · Jan 21, 2015

Awesome, I've been playing a lot of BF4 lately and I can't wait to try this.

Who gives a shit about how big the buildings are though?

I'll take smaller destructible buildings over "levelution" bullshit any day. And no, Bf4 is nowhere near as destructible as BC2.

Also, the guns just felt more "right' in Bc2. Can't put my finger on why I thought so though.

Rushersauce · Jan 21, 2015

It's nice to see that there are actual reflections now.

nowarning · Jan 21, 2015

They've lost me now, BF4 was a mess and the setting for this game does not interest me at all, I will be passing on this and future entries in the franchise unless they pull something special out of the bag. Shame really, it was one of my favorites but it's been going downhill since BF3 for me.

I'm saying that the size of the maps and buildings likely contributed to the lowered destruction in BF3.

How are you judging destructibility, exactly? Percentage of structures on a single map that can be completely leveled to the ground? Again, BF4 is much larger than BC2 and the larger structures would require far more processing than BC2's assortment of huts and simple houses.

Disagree about the guns completely. I much prefer BF3/BF4's gunplay model to BC2's.

kitschykitty · Jan 21, 2015

Hmmm wonder if the ea access 6 hours is enough to beat the campaign.

LonelyGreyWolf · Jan 21, 2015

Not going to spoil myself on the maps, but that's quite a few game modes. My experience is that in games with a lot of game modes, usually most of them become dead shortly after launch as most players stick to the few big ones. Hopefully that won't be the case here.

If I get a PS4 before this game comes out, I'll grab it.

boredofcanada · Jan 21, 2015

This looks retarded. I still don't understand what EA is thinking. Oh wait, money.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm saying that there is no "fun" added because of these larger structures. They should get rid of em and bring back smaller more destructible buildings.

Hopefully they'll bring some of those great BC2 maps in the final expansion pack for BF4.

Sn4ke_911 · Jan 21, 2015

They sound a bit salty, probably because there isn't much hype for this game.

Ramirez · Jan 21, 2015

No Rush? Hard pass.

The Heist mode had potential to be a spin off of Rush, but from what I played in the beta, it was executed terribly.
