Okay EA, you might as well just announce the game at this point and go "More at E3" or whatever.

i bet someone at EA is looking like this right now:

and thinking about it really really long and hard :D I mean they could wait two weeks for the E3 reveal or blow it out right now when there's little media coverage competition.
 
How did someone allow this to happen. I mean we knew about it but nothing besides it being a police themed game. So far it had been kept under wraps fairly well detail wise. Now it's all undone.
 
I'm excited to see the series do something fairly different but I am not sure how the cops/robbers theme will work with the scale/vehicles battlefield is known for. Maybe fighting drug cartels or something?
 
I might be in the minority here but as far as consoles go I feel like battlefield games have the best gunplay. I'm open to more battlefield as long as they try to differentiate it from the
mainline series, which this seems to be doing. hyped :D
 
Oh it definitely will be. It's their mystery Fall title.

However, it's a little silly to pretend we don't know it exists when we have like... all of this at this point. :p

Yeah, but if they revealed everything the moment a game was leaked, there wouldn't be anything left for E3 ! :)

This is what happens when you make your server browser a webpage and then start testing your game with people outside the studio.

In theory they have six titles!

That said I don't expect an actual unveil, but perhaps like, an acknowledgement a la Assassin's Creed: Unity.
 
They're saving the "reveal" (heavy quotes) for E3 so Peter Moore can do a sarcastic joke about it being such a big surprise on stage.

It's my favourite E3 tradition.

I'm already in love. Kiss me I must be dreaming.

Aren't these the names for the different type of classes in payday 2? Like exactly the same names?

Ghost instead of Professional but yes those are the exact same names, but if the hardline rumor is true then the game would also share the same name as a long running perk in the COD series.
This day just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

Well, this is interesting.

I have become quite the Battlefield fan lately. I just hope this one isn't riddled with bugs on release.

Also, to hell with your Cross-Gen garbage, EA.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if the official announcement is in two days or something close like that, and in the E3 they will show the first gameplay video.

Could it be a ruse? I know its extremely unlikely but when I saw the class names it just threw up a red flag for me. I had no idea about the hardline tag either. So confused lol.

Not if each brand within Battlefield is able to differentiate itself enough. This game is currently sounding very different from the traditional BF games. And the concept is obviously very different. They can/should also bring Bad Company into the loop and keep the old humor. That way they could keep the brand relevant every year while avoiding franchise fatigue because each game is very different from the last.

Just like Call of Doge and Call of Future stayed relevant every year after Call of JFK Assassination and Call of Modern Warfare 2-3?

OH WAIT, the series has been losing sales year over year since JFK.

Same thing will happen with Battlecops and Battlefield if Bad Company came back. Again: Stop chasing the CoD money, let Battlefield do Battlefield and STOP RELEASING A DAMN YEARLY SHOOTER FROM THE SERIES. After BF4's launch it's readily apparent EA needs to stop with that shit.

EA out of pride will never admit the leak. They will never announce the game. It will just be on shelves one day. Not in the game stop computers. A ghost.
