Generate hype.

I'm not buying it. Not because of the BF4 issues, but because the setting (cops) doesn't interest me. I will buy BF5 or BFBC3.

Pretty much, yeah.
Those who are hyped and people who need their FPS itch scratched.

Should be a nice stop gap rent before Bloodborne. I'll buy it for 60 when all the dlc is included.

I have been a diehard fan of the series for the past thirteen years. Hardline will be the first Battlefield game I wont be purchasing. 4 started the downward spiral in a big way - now this junk. My oh my the mighty have fallen.

This isn't Dice, you realize?
That and teams are always really, really excited when they finish a project.

...What big issues BF4 has now?
They had a patch last year that addressed most of the problems.
Hardline Beta was pretty solid too. Some wonky balance irks, but it still was good.
As a diehard veteran of the series who has put hundreds of hours in every entry I have no enthusiasm about this one. Granted those reload animations were nifty, but this concept already feels played out. They aren't going to win the payday crowd, and the taste of BF4 still lingers. I love BF, DICE and Visceral but there's something about this game that just feels off the mark to me.

After the mess that was B4, are you serious?
Plus the last time EA had joint teams working on a game, it was the original Medal of Honor :/

Hasn't the reception been poor on neogaf? And does 'gold' just mean the game is ready to ship to retailers? If we already have a release date what does it matter if a game has gone 'gold'?
Not trying to take a shot at the OP.
There is always a day 1 patch..i do not expect to see this have a good launch also after BF4 to me i am not buying it tried the 'alpha' and 'beta' but such a chore and very boring not worth 60 euro's at all.
He's talking about BF4's launch issues, and that Hardline will most likely suffer the same fate. Its a given no matter what.

I'm going to contrast a fair amount of the opinions here and say that I couldn't be more excited for this.
Like many of the people here, I've been with the franchise since 1942 (even though I was 8 at the time...) and it seems people seemed to have forgotten what the series is.
It was never about hardcore, sprawling modern military warfare really, it was about massive warfare in different theaters of war. We had World War II, we had Vietnam, we had the future in 2142, we had a quirky modern spin-off series in Bad Company which for many was the pinnacle of the series, and then we had the modern military warfare in Battlefield 2, 3, and 4.
Hardline is just another setting in the series but you still have the vehicles, objective focus, massive player counts and pretty much everything that made Battlefield, Battlefield. First and foremost, it's fun. It's in the same vein of the Bad Company series where it just doesn't really give a shit.
I don't know, it could just be me (and it seems like it is) but I think that the game has just gotten a bad rep from that first Beta and its probably going to hurt it a bit in sales. Here's hoping they ramp up the marketing campaign with some commercials and social media promotion and manage some decent sales because I would take a fun spin-off and creative sequel any day over another modern military entry that takes itself as seriously as a heart attack like Battlefield 4 did.

To let people know there's no delay, I'd assume. That or just celebrating they're "done" with development and now it's into support/bug-fix/DLC mode.

I'm well aware of all the reasons I shouldn't - but I'm getting it.
Heist was kinda great.

I think its to circumvent the problem of the OT only going up on the day of release.
This x a million.
They're making a Star Wars game with Amy Hennig.

A Battlefield game and "gold" is some kinda paradox

Correct, but they are "assisting with development."
Actually pretty pumped for this. Played the SHIT out of the open beta.
I hope they left the ttk and damage in place. It made for some real tense moments, much better than the usual bullet sponge, bunny hopping bf's from before.
Pity it's 100 aussie bucks on the psn store. Would love to have this digitally!

Let me know when it's gone platinum so I can play it online.
BF3/4's launch were awful.
