Battlefield Hardline

open "beta" considering it is literally identical to bf3/4 with just a skin change I don't really know what they are testing.

Every time you play the "Beta" origin pops up a thing saying "Like it? Preorder it!". I think it's basically a demo, I don't even see any way to report bugs: Earlier today I saw a dude laying down (just revived I think?) slide quickly across the floor distractingly while his teammate shot at me.

I played this the other night and it was pretty good fun! Feels awesome trying to escape with the package

Hardline is relying too much on teamwork. It's probably great fun with a group of friends, but playing it with random people is in most cases just frustrating.

Yeah I have to agree with this, it's engaging when both teams are working together and playing the objectives but it gets frustrating if most of the team has their heads elsewhere. I've had some fun moments hanging out on the roofs doing my own thing sniping and ziplining around, but it seems like this isn't contributing to the general effort as much as having my feet on the ground with everyone else, because it's too easy for someone to gtfo with the package on a bike or something and therefore the moments in which I have the most fun are contributing to the frustration of other players or to our team's loss

The map seems really small for a Battlefield game (there is reasoning behind this, sure, but still) and I'm not entirely sold on the gunplay either. I skipped out on BF4 so I can't comment there but in BF3 I felt the combat was a little more thoughtful and at least made me consider the decisions I made as I moved through the environments. Here I feel comfortable just sprinting and jumping all over the place and being careless with my ammo. It usually works out in my favour, but it doesn't feel as satisfying.

This game is really bad, i mean i know it's beta but we all know that not much will be changed in finall

I think it's fairly ok. It's just looks like a poor value proposition, imo, with BF4 still so recent, and the sticker price at 60 dollars. I've still got new BF4 content supposedly coming that I've already payed for, why would I drop $60 (plus premium, no doubt) for what feels like kinda new, kinda rehashed BF4 content?

second world war and vietnam and now this.

dice has done alot and done it good

ea is just afraid of turning battlefield into COD

the turth has been told by nexuz

its the redwood city studio developing hardline..

and my feeling about this game is its going to turn out in anyway possible

If this was a 1943 type deal, it would be so much better. Having what is a pretty experimental thing be a little $15 game would be killer.

Can't say people sound to convinced so far.

In short:

The problem with the franchise goes deeper than a long history of terrible launches, however. Whatever culture kept the quality of games up and tried to preserve the value of the franchise is long dead, as evidenced by the current reality of the industry and past quotes from developer EA DICE itself. It's perfectly fine to still be a Battlefield fan, but buying Battlefield Hardline at launch is one of the worst bets you can make in gaming in 2014.

They probably realized that Hardline, in it's current state, would deal a big blow to the BF franchise.

I'm glad they delayed it, i hope they can make some improvements to it.

two words:

"Fucking EA"

DICE +1

EA -1

But they just announced to postpone the release to make it better...?! You still might not be happy with the end result, but it's surely better than releasing it in its current state isn't it? Oh right. It's cool to bash EA. Sorry.

DICE can make cool games like BF4, without a fucking EA and their yearly fails.

bf4 is a good game

BF4 could be way better. I'm not saying it's bad. But they messed some things up which disturb the fun when playing it. And that's the point which really annoyes me.

I didn't like BF4, and that's fine with me. I also feel they have lost the magic. Here's hoping Battlefront will bring it back.. ps. it fucking will!!! I try to tell myself
