The game would need to be something entirely different, otherwise it'll get labeled as a re-skinned BF4.

 

[TTUVAPOR]

Isn't this just Counter Strike ?

Counter-strike is at its core, a 5v5 attack and defend game with 2 minute rounds, a buy system, and one life.

The other game modes like hostage, team deathmatch, etc, are unique in their own way, but it still refers back to the 5v5 gameplay.

If BF Hardline manages to create a good attack/defend game type, and great gunplay with flash bangs, HE nades, etc, other equipment, etc, they could really expand upon those classic game modes of bomb defuse, hostage, etc.

 

[whitemex88]

its like they took that fake CoDolice Warfare and ran with the concept

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Just thinking about it this being the canceled kickstarter project (Police Warfare) makes me beyond excited.

Video

The reload animations and weapons already looked good in 2012 and that concept art shows so many great ideas and possibilities, i can't freaking wait.

There is a pretty high chance Elastic Games developers work now at Visceral Games since their official site, twitter, facebook it's all gone and the last we heard of is this:

"Hey Guys,

Thank you so much for the incredible response to the game. We're shutting down the kickstarter account but this is by no means the end of Police Warfare. News will be coming.

-EG TEAM"

What are the chances this will have online heists before GTAV Online will?

 

[Imbarkus]

Dammit I was working this whole time. Been waiting months for this thread, and here I am LTTP

EDIT: Wait, lemme read up first

 

[Nirolak]

One of the weapons is listed as a "zipline gun" in the descriptions.

 

[FullMetaltech]

One of the weapons is listed as a "zipline gun" in the descriptions.

That would be sweet to zipline into windows or on moving vehicles.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I leave for a few hours, and this thread descends into madness.

 

[Gorillaz]

What are the chances this will have online heists before GTAV Online will?

Depends on when GTA 5 is put on to next gen. That will probably be when heist come out.

Either way I will say high

 

[todahawk]

Mmmm, Dark Knight bank heist visions.

 

[Cat Party]

The potential of this game has me salivating. The BF formula can work on a smaller scale for sure. Excited to see more.

[ramuh]

Man. I really like the concept of this. But as someone who has been burned badly by BF4, I will have to hold my anticipation until at least a month has passed. No more convincing me with a free map pack to buy at launch.

 

[Nirolak]

So most of the vehicles have either CR or LE versions (I'm assuming Criminal and Law Enforcement), except the Fuel Tanker and the Utility Van, which makes me wonder if they relate to game objectives.

I can't imagine actually trying to drive a fuel tanker into combat as a viable transport on its own.

They'll announce Xbox One/ Xbox 360 exclusivity.

Maybe zipline a camper who's posted on a roof top?

 

[Ominym]

What are the chances this will have online heists before GTAV Online will?

This is the first question that came to my mind as well.

 

[Kocolino67]

This is not my Battlefield anymore. But, yeah, things evolve, interests separate. We will both move on and find someone else to play with. Cheers.

[Imbarkus]

I leave for a few hours, and this thread descends into madness.

Yeah upon further reflection I think I'll keep my Battlefield: Bad Cop pictures for Twitter or some less incendiary thread.

For the record I made 'em 'cuz I think a game about America's militarized police force is in poor taste, or at least has the potential to be very tone deaf. But I sure as hell don't advocate cop-killing, and it's not like the game is Guantanamo Tycoon. I guess it'll all be a matter of execution on the subject matter, really.

 

[Levi]

Very amused that not only do we have new Battlefield and Call of Duty spin offs competing this year, both are by developers new to their respective franchises, and both developers are as intrinsically linked as Visceral and Sledgehammer are.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Hardline leak:

Police Warfare:

Doesn't mean much, those two helis are common in law enforcement.

 

[fasTRapid]

The game would need to be something entirely different, otherwise it'll get labeled as a re-skinned BF4.

It's a Medal of Honor replacement to aim at CoD's target audience. Expect CQC with lovely Frostbite visuals and hopefully some new art direction.
I can't stand how boring Bf3/4 look, the only worse offenders were MW2 and 3, which were equally broken. Nvm, I'm drifting off...

 

[Tekku]

Can't wait to do some crazy stuff with the little bird and drop off SWAT dudes.

That looks great, sucks that it got canceled.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

I can fully appreciate them taking the series in unique direction. However, this course doesn't seem like one well suited to the BF series. Would've much rather they delved into the possibility of a BF Mercs game or something in that vein.

 

[notoriousKTR]

 

[H4r4kiri]

And i was like " Yes a smaller scale BF without vehicles and Swat teamplay".

Then i got to the thread and was like ehhhh.....

 

[demolitio]

Sounds like a lot of the BF2: Special Forces tools will be in this one. I missed my zipline and grappling hook.

I'm definitely not being the sucker that buys this at launch though. I learned my lesson.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

How about maybe a larger scale version of Payday 2?

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Not quite the same thing.

 

[Broritos]

How about maybe a larger scale version of Payday 2?

This is why I'm interested. It seems like it's going to be similar to Payday 2 except you can play as the SWAT. I don't know if it'll have horde mode like gameplay but so far it seems similar.

 

[oObLiViOuZz]

Seems like a decent idea... Wondering if EA will ever get its shit together for one game.

 

[TheSeks]

looks very much like a certain BF4 map

No it doesn't. It isn't Shanghai nor Seine.

How about maybe a larger scale version of Payday 2?

If they're going the Payday 2 route, hopefully they learned from Goldfarb (worked on Bad Company 2)'s fuckups with that game. That game could've been amazing but their DLC scheme and additional stuff ruined that game. Throw in the grind and no way.

it's kind of strange to see the move from military to police simming for Battlefield. Kinda strange.

This is a side-move. Battlefield 5-on would still be military.

 

[TheSeks]

Whoops, double-post.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

So most of the vehicles have either CR or LE versions (I'm assuming Criminal and Law Enforcement), except the Fuel Tanker and the Utility Van, which makes me wonder if they relate to game objectives.

I can't imagine actually trying to drive a fuel tanker into combat as a viable transport on its own.

Maybe a fuel tanker is used by the criminals to blow up a hole in a bank or whatever their objective is. If the cops can take it out before it gets there, maybe it will benefit the cops and harm the criminals. Just a possibility.

 

[Omni]

You know, I'm really not that excited. I think it's coming too soon. A new BF game every year or whatever just seems like ehhh. Unless it's unbelievably amazing which I kinda doubt, I don't see myself leaving BF4

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

This sounds pretty cool

Hopefully some Counterstrike/PayDay2 feels in there

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Let me fly choppers. Let me fly. Let me be happy.

 

[zomaha]

codename zomaha i like it

 

[Milennia]

Im pretty damn hyped as of now.

hype wagon for me...

i loved the swat games, although those were slow paced.....

all we need now is a DEA agent mode, where you bust drug runners..

 

[Soma]

I was really not excited for this at all until the mention of Heist missions.

If they can pull it off well then I'm totally on board.

 

[Delusibeta]

Aaand it's official. It's probably going to be what Payday 2 would be if they let you play as the police.

 

[dcelw540]

http://www.battlefield.com/hardline

Finally confirmed hurray!!

 

[Woorloog]

I have to admit, this concept does sound intriguing. But after hearing what happened with BF4 (i never bothered getting it), i'm going to wait for a few months after the launch. And this is assuming the game won't be just re-skinned BF3/4.

 

[BeerSnob]

Aaand it's official. It's probably going to be what Payday 2 would be if they let you play as the police.

Yeah they've found a whole new sub-genre to DLC into the ground.

And with that I am sold already and looking for a pre-order button. (Not really but I am very interested.)
