Well one of the modes leaked in the code was called Turf Wars, it had the small(24p) and large(64p) variation used for Conquest and Carrier assault in Bf4.
There's no way at least one of these game modes doesn't have 64p after how hard EA pushed it last year.
You didn't grasp what I meant and that's okay. I didn't say it wasn't wrong. I said it was a great reason to not buy it on Day 1 and to see if, y'know, they learned your lesson. Which, amusingly, despite you calling my statements hyperbolic....you seem to then go on and not even allow the possibility that that WON'T happen this time.
That's why I said good way to handle it versus a bad way to handle it.
What are you even talking about? What does that have to do with me saying it's wise to not buy it day one and to see what happens?
And yes, if you blame the people of Visceral, you're saying they'll do the same thing. Which they might, admittedly.
Don't act like you're not slinging mud at Visceral for DICE's screw-up, though.
It's also assumptive as hell to think the people responsible for BF's problems are with Visceral, no?

Again, and not that you'll read this, but it's smart to wait and make sure this title actually friggin works when it's released.
Is it just me or does this guy from the trailer look EXACTLY like Reggie (Delsin's brother) from Infamous Second Son? I mean it's identical. He even sounds like him.
I'm pretty sure it's him.
im impressed. although subject matter seems a little tasteless considering the shit going on south of the states.
the multiplayer modes sound rock solid though and basically what ive been waiting for in a shooter. hopefully they can deliver a working title prior to launch this time so i can try it out at PAX

Awesome post. Threadworthy on it's own, honestly, to point out how important that first impression is and that a lot of people just can't think for themselves.

And how does that relate to BF4's issues? People come and go through studios all the time.
If anything, it means people should really be buying Hardline if they are going by your statement.

Looks good but I don't know if I trust EA/Dice to buy another one of their games at launch. I'll probably wait for the first price drop... Not going to get burned by them again.

I'd throw in that this is also likely why E3 demos have become so uncommon. You often hear about how actual demos on the show floor are buggy or still have some rough spots here and there. No way are developers going to want to allow those demos to get in the hands of too many gamers when it could easily cause even harsher reactions than what we're seeing in this thread.
Well, it has me interested. I guess that's a positive thing. I lost interest in Call of Duty three games ago, and was starting to lose interest in Battlefield. But this looks like it could be a lot of fun (aping Pay Day, and I love those games). I just hope they do the Heist stuff right, and all of this doesn't just play like your typical FP multiplayer match. Pay Day had objectives in the heist, and it always feels like things are changing. If this game is just FPS multiplayer with "scenarios" in the background, it kind of loses its luster.
Personally, I like the idea of them moving towards a TV/episodic structure. I think a lot of games lately (mostly FPS titles), have kind of lost their way with storytelling beats/pacing. And since games are already broken up into levels, it actually makes sense to start writing narrative dramas from a TV/episodic perspective. I think if done right, it could be great.

I feel like this trailer was made to convince executives to let them continue the project. The graphics look like super pre-alpha. I guarantee the game looks amazing graphics wise at E3 though.
Some parts of the trailer almost remind me of Sleeping Dogs in some weird way. And while I haven't been interested in Battlefield since Battlefield 2, color me interested in this one. VERY MUCH HOPING they take the time to really squash all the bugs before launch and not make it into another BF4.
I fully agree with this. It definitely has the Pay Day feel but I hope it keeps people thinking and the penalty for screwing around is significant as a deterrent. We need some alternatives to the rush/respawn grind of BF and COD.

quotes for troof
We live in a world of ADHD gamers, the days of a simulation are probably gone. Maybe BFHardpoint will have some sim-modes or something, but for a true sim experience, we're probably never going to see that again, at least not in an AAA level. You're going to have a tough time convincing a publisher these days that a SWAT simulator is going to push millions of copies.
Sad but probably true. Hopefully the game modes allow for people to play an arcade style and for others to play a more simulation style.
Usually game modes/settings can dictate that if done right.

Is anyone else getting a "GTA meets Battlefield" type vibe when they watch that trailer? I must admit I was quite disinterested in the prospects of a new Battlefield game a year after one had already released, but these game modes look fun and the overall look is much grittier.

I think a single life mode would lead both to quicker rounds and more discipline.

The gadgets look really sweet. I love how they said you can set up ropes to climb and ziplines anywhere. I can see this leading to some awesome moments. And the vehicle combat looks pretty great too. Jeeps and other light vehicles in normal Battlefield are really overpowered by all the explosive weaponry. Not very effective at all. Hopefully they work better here and we get some cool car chases.
I'm in. The modes sound like a lot of fun. I'm sure the dial is going to be set to eleven on all the action but I'm thinking there may just be some fun to be had amongst the explosions. I'll probably pick it up a week after launch to see if the servers and or the game are completely fucked up like Battlefield 4 was/still is.
This motherfucker gets it.

The single player in the Bad Company games were far from bad. They had memorable characters and a good amount of humor. But the biggest thing is that the single player in the original game was very much like you'd expect from a BF game. You were dropped into a huge battlefield and were given objectives. But you could approach those objectives different ways because the world was so open. The mainline games do away with all of that. The humor is gone. The memorable characters are gone. And so is the open design of the gameplay. Instead you're left with an ultra linear and mediocre CoD clone.

I'm not even going to watch media on this. Dice and EA can F off if they are still striving toward a yearly Battlefield title. Put up or shut up-but use some other lackeys. I'm done paying $60+ to beta test your games for 60% of their expected life span.
If it's an attack/defend mode, it definitely needs single life rounds. Otherwise, there's no penalty for death and it'll just become silly.
One of the reasons I don't like the Rush game mode in BF is because it's basically a meat grinder and it comes down to making a push with a lot of people and just repeating that over and over until the mcoms get armed. It's like the line-based war formations:
Boring.

Told myself I wouldn't buy this when it was just a rumor. Thought a cop battlefield would be ridiculous. Now I find myself seriously considering it.

It's a Battlefield 4 reskin. Probably easier to leave them in than take them out.

I guess no coop. Looks interesting though.

I'll wait for impressions before jumping in. Bf4 was broken for months before it became decent.
Cant wait to use a jet to destroy half a city block just to stop 2 guys from robbing a small local bank
Well said.

The pace looks exactly the same. The multiplayer looks like a reskinned Battlefield 3 or 4. Everything looks fast paced. I'm cool with that if these game modes came out as an expansion for Battlefield 4, but I'm not sure if I want this as a new game.
The only interesting part of that concept trailer was the open arena style single player where players can choose how to handle a certain mission.
I hope the AC -130 is in.

What the fuck? Did you actually play it? The campaign was great. Maps were wide open, you could use all kinds of vehicles to go wherever you wanted (within reason), and the story and characters were really funny.
