No more cross-gen pls
God help us...I hope not.
If done right this could really be something. There are certain things that can work in a smaller setting then an average BF game. Certain modes. Things like a possible Heist mode can work and might be fun.
looks very much like a certain BF4 map

if this has online heists, then I may be interested...
it's giving me some type of feels right now
It's different from Shanghai, there look to be ramps/stairs that lead up to the overpass. Looks like a completely new map.
Also, there isn't any water under the bridge, it's a road. Increase the brightness of your display, you'll see it.

I wouldn't worry BF3 and BFBC2 are still well populated (pc at least), dlc maps is another story tough...
You have some goddamn issues.

I'm assuming they will do this again:
I just mean that the leaks that are driving the news today were probably either intentional or just not something EA really worries about preventing. "If it leaks, eh, it's great publicity."

It would be great if at least in the single player mode if you could use verbal commands to get the bad guys to drop their weapons so you could arrest them. I'm not sure how that would work in MP although I suppose you could handcuff wounded (not dead) bad guys.
hahah but that makes it seem more like a rare achievement. successfully arrested 3 enemies. Meanwhile, try to unlock 25 weapons with kills.
it's kind of strange to see the move from military to police simming for Battlefield. Kinda strange.

Saw the word “Hardline” and immediately started thinking of a Battlefield game set in the universe of the Matrix. I’m sort of disappointed now.
edit: Hardlines were wired phones in the Matrix that human operatives would use to disconnect safely from the virtual world. In the Matrix Online, hardlines were phonebooths and used like portals/fast travel.

Wow, I didn't see this till now. Thanks for clarifying my stance Over, lol.
Real talk: I regret my previous post, and I'm sorry for derailing or offending. I have numerous critiques of police. Some of these are on an individual level -- I've seen cops attack, imprison, and ruin the lives of people I care about. But my critiques are also on a political level, as cops are a key part of social control and oppression in modern societies. It pains me when games or other media glorify and honor cops, and when I see that happening I have a bad habit of shit talking cops in a knee jerk fashion.
Next time I'll try to present my critiques / concerns in a more responsible way. Sorry yall. I don't want to derail further, so feel free to PM me if you want to talk about this more.
It's pretty cool how advocating killing cops isn't a bannable offense on GAF.
Some of the most blatantly disrespectful posts I've seen in a while.

A spiritual successor to Rainbow Six Raven Shield would be sweet.
Can't make a generalized assumption that all cops, military, etc are bad. Just like you can't automatically generalize that all people are bad.
What you've just said in your post, I can say the same thing about teachers, coaches, parents, etc.
Anyway...moving on..
Probably because they're going to tie it into the Battlefield franchise in some way. Earlier I made reference to BF3 and BF Vietnam...but I forgot that it was Bad Company 2 that had the BF Vietnam game.
Remember this:
They could very easily relate it to BF4.
The name "Battlefield" alone sells this game.
Whoa, I like the concept. Lots of potential, but I do wonder how Battlefield-y this could be. I'm not sure how they'd be able to carry over the scale of Battlefield (one of it's most important features) into a cops vs. robbers scenario. Hundreds of dudes respawning and jumping into the meat grinder wouldn't really make sense in that scenario, not that I really care about plausibility in a videogame. But, it sounds really neat and I'm kinda over the whole modern warfare theme for awhile.

Man, I want so bad for this to be rainbow six with actual objective mechanics, but I really doubt that's what we will get. If this turns out the way we want it though, oh man.
"Real talk" you fantasize about killing cops, and generalize all cops negatively while supposedly being against people who do the exact same shit to other groups.
All this post shows is that you're terrible at damage control.
I wonder if you fantasize about killing minority female cops as well, or if that suddenly is a conflict of interest for you.

Oh lawd don't get my hopes up... I loved me some rainbow 6. Hacienda, Oil Tanker, ugh that shit was so good.

Now imagine it with vehicles and gadgets with battlefield style play. I'm thinking breaching charges and other cool stuff. Man, the possibilities.

BC2 and BC2 Vietnam are the best..even today still amazing.
But this? Even after BF4 i just don't trust it even with Visceral..being very very skeptical about this. Also EA just release a goddamn trailer all info is out on the streets.

Now to get this back on topic. Game could be cool, need to see Visceral's MPFPS chops.
Oh god i just remembered the airport level with the hangars and shit. dude, flashbacks (& flash bangs!).
Stop, my heart!
TANGO DOWN.
Thats what worries me is some of the DLC maps are DARN good in BF3. Aftermath my Jam bro.
This game could be good but a lot of heist games fall flat for one single reason. The best part about a heist is getting away. Its not only fighting in the bank but escaping.
How can they implement this in multiplayer?
-Build a city map
-Have an escape point that you have to get to at one point in the map. Rotating escape points would be perfect.
-The heist team needs to deliver the package to a specific point to win the game.
-x% of the team should be present for the at the delivery point for it to be a success.

Don't wanna get my hopes up and get burned in the end, but if they implement something like you said plus more, then this game can be something special.
So, imagine a map with maybe 3-4 potential targets. The baddies get to vote on which one they want to hit before the game starts. Then they hit the location and alarms are tripped. Cops are alerted and shit goes down.
On the flip side, the cops start the the round patrolling the map, not knowing where the robbers will strike. Then, over the radio, an in progress call drops and you respond.
I know it won't work out that way but the possibilities are there. Could be cool.

Great point, my favorite part of GTA is evading and losing my wanted level.
Hmm, what you describe sounds like a variation of Obliteration or CTF.
Isn't this just Counter Strike ?
