Battlefield: Hardline (cops vs. thieves) leaks, tons of info [Officially Announced]

This is what happens when you fly over YouTube guys for a play test in May (or was it April, I forgot) and some of them talk. :)

And from what I know, they were allowed to play MP. Next event will allow them to record, I think.

These things still have to be publicly accessible to leak directly from their server for anyone to path to. :p

Seems potentially cool, but I'm not really getting why they'd bother calling this "Battlefield" other than for marketing reasons. That basically is the reason, but still, I associate "Battlefield" games with big wide open battlefields with tons of vehicles, not cops and robbers.

Battlefield has always been vehicular warfare with infantry. Whether it's on a small map or a large map, it doesn't matter, Battlefield is basically the only good game that does vehicular warfare correct.

BF2 PC started seeing a bit smaller maps with 16 players for 8v8 action, it was great in my opinion.

Then if you look at BF4, they've got even smaller scale modes like TDM, the defuse game mode (which I think needs a lot of work), small scale domination, etc.

If they do this counter-terrorist vs terrorists thing right, they could have another unique game on their hands. But it needs to tie in the Battlefield core like the class-based gameplay and the squads, vehicles, etc.

Please someone update the thread title with "Battlefield: HARDLINE" for ultimate lulz, this is ridiculous, so many leaks :lol

Those weapons are giving me TF2 style vibes. Do we know what kind of size mp maps this game will have?

Oh, yeah. Good point. :)

I'm genuinely interested in this. Will Visceral just use BF4's gunplay or use their own? Here's to hoping it uses DICE's rock-paper-scissors formula to good use.

The big gaming news sites such as GameInformer, IGN, Gamespot, Eurogamer etc. will probably just ignore those leaks since they are under NDA.

Could be interesting, funny how quickly people forget about the mess with BF4 though.

Yeah.
Not only are these events annoying for the reasons you cited, they put journalists in terrible positions when stuff leaks out that they've seen under NDA. Press were briefed on Borderlands Pre-Sequel news, for example, and it leaked out two days before the embargo. Our options were either A) ignore the leak; B) violate an agreement we signed; or C) report the leak without acknowledging that we knew it was real. None of those options are ideal.

I've been pushing hard for us to just skip all these events entirely. They're really not that useful to readers.

People forgot about the mess that was BF2 on launch, didn't they....

Or having BF2 announced 6 WEEKS after BF: Vietnam came out..

anyway, new dev team, its their baby, lets all hold judgement until E3 :)

::Sigh::

So this was true?

Ughhhh ....... what a lame direction to take the series in.

Personally, I'm sick to the high teeth of military shooters. This spate of Heat-related Heist games is a nice change of pace. I loved Payday 2 (for all it's faults) so it'll be nice to see what Visceral do with it.
 
Yea ea really should just announce it now, they probably won't if it's the gi cover story.

I'm looking forward to this but I'm gonna wait as the bf4 fiasco has scared me.

Interesting concept, but not buying until well after release. BF4 burned me way too badly with server issues and numerous bugs. I hope others remember that as well.

Dude, its still a Battlefield game.

Why even call it Battlefield now? They should've went with another title.

You could say the same about 2142.

They probably do it since it's a known name so guaranteed sales from people really into Battlefield and don't have to worry if it will do well or not as a new IP.

If it's anything like old Rainbow Six games this will be my most anticipated game after E3. Or are we getting a new RS game too? I miss those.
