Battlefield Hardline BETA - First Impressions

Can cops and criminals alter the battlefield landscape? Or is hardline the same old skirmish in different uniforms?

Man_Son3620d ago

I can't get down with this game

Battlefieldlover3619d ago

Tell me about it is game should've been a DLC. A cool "blood dragon" type ya know? But what do we get? EA money grab.

BF4 isn't even completely fixed and I see the Sam crap in the hardline beta. I mean from start to finish to start again, BF's net code has gone to hell D:)

Matt6663619d ago

People should stop saying it a DLC it nothing like BF4. Does BF4 have cops and robbers gameplay trying to steal money, no it doesn't, does BF4 have weapons like baseball bats and police batons, no it doesn't. I could go on but it certainly not BF4.

slimeybrainboy3619d ago

EA can't grab you're money if you don't give it to them. I think you are being abit negative.

You can shoot in cars, hang out windows, zipline across buildings and so much more. I'm not saying this is BF5, this is Viscerals new take on BF. Not DICE, so it has nothing to do with BF4 really.

I'm enjoying it, I enjoyed BF4 too.

Battlefieldlover3618d ago

You can do some cool new things sure. Silliness yay, grappling hook woooow nelly. HANG OUT WINDOWS??? No way man, no way.

Again, in the beta, this is a repackaged BF game with a few bells and whistles... I stick by what I said. This could have been a hell of a talked about DLC like blood dragon was. Changing the definition of what DLC means. It is a money grab even if I don't get it because others will...I know of two for sure :P

I was praising the fact that at least hit detection worked on it. Then today I go jump in a vehicle, stop right behind a guy, grab the gunner seat and start shooting him while he is looking the other way for a good few seconds, but only get hit markers. Then he turns around and somehow blows up the entire vehicle with an assault rifle.....

That's when I remembered, yep.... it's for sure Battlefield lol

GTXZME3619d ago

After battlefield 3 . Both Battlefield 4 and BF hardline ruined BF series name. BF company 2 was even better.

NeverStopGaming3619d ago

You know how you never forget horrible things that happen to you? I'll never forget this beta.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot779d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250778d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface778d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop778d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno778d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel779d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps778d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888778d ago (Edited 778d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33778d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888778d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH778d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

Ranking All The Battlefield Games

From Xfire: "With the next game being a return to the classic XX42 formula, now is as good a time as any to make an utterly definitive and in no possible way controversial ranking of the Battlefield games we've enjoyed over the years, with which undoubtedly nobody will take issue in the comment section. Right? Okay then - here we go, from least good to best."

OMNlPOTENT1050d ago

Battlefield 1 above 4 and Bad Company 2? Not a chance.

Ruegrong1049d ago

battlefield 4 was broken as shit on launch same as battlefield 3

isarai1049d ago

Bad company 2 was still my favorite, sure it was a bit gimped compared to the rest if the series but more fun and far more satisfying weapon unlocks.

XxINFERNUSxX1049d ago (Edited 1049d ago )

Battlefield 1942 + both expansions are my all time favorite, it can still be played online to this day. Vietnam would be my 2nd, 3rd Battlefield 2, last BF2142 the rest I didn't care for. They really need to remake from the ground up in the new engine BF1942. Next year it will be 20 yrs since it was released. If they don't at least to me would be a disservice. ☹

"erasing that simply reinforces toxic male privilege." I see the writer is one of those types of people...

The Life & Death of the Season Pass

In a time not too long ago, a foul infection spread its way through the games industry. It was a vile illness that burrowed itself in deep, feeding off of greed and the incessant begging of teens desperate to receive funds from their parents. It divided friend groups, suffocated player bases, and was common practice up until recently—it was the season pass.

This doesn't make a ton of sense. Season Passes may slowly fade out for multiplayer games, perhaps, but I don't see them going anywhere in games that are primarily single player. They don't seem to touch on this either, with every game being some kind of online/multiplayer/GaaS title, and nary a mention of a single player game - at least that I saw.

I mean, games like Borderlands 3 just asked people to buy in to the 2nd season pass. Battle passes can't really take over in places that have story driven content and such. So I'd say perhaps they missed a bit of a necessary distinction but, since they claim the death of season pass is at hand, it appears they may have missed how single player games factor into this entirely.
