Battlefield Hardline |OT| Battlefield FIVE-O

this game is pretty much bad company 3 when you think about it

decent single player with likeable, decently written characters
introduces really good, small team gamemodes to the BF franchise
demphasizing heavy armor
the fucking helicopters annoy the shit of you
 
Hey guys, I am thinking about buying this game, then I looked at the other topic about the graphics. Is there any merit to the claims in that thread, or is it just yet another circle jerk? I thought I'd actually no better from people who actually have the game so I posted in this thread.

PS4 here, the game looks pretty good, sometimes better than BF4 on the PS4. What's really worth mentioning is that they've paid attention to the finer details, the inside of the buildings feel lived in and the such. There's more unique assets on each map, rather than BF4 where you can kinda tell that a lot of it was copied assets and quickly modeled terrain.
 
Almost everyone plays Operator. I started to play Enforcer because I got sick of running out of ammo, and it's also easy points since there are so many Operators.

They use both Assault Rifles and Carbines, what else is anyone going to play? :p

I like to use Enforcer because I was sick of being shot in the back so many times.
 
I love when the storm kicks in on Riptide. I also can't believe the B heli spawn on the Bank Heist is unchanged from the beta. Way too easy for the cops to defend that.
 
Damn whats going on. Alot of players on Xbox One. 81.000 is alot. Probably EA Access helps.

Aye,

Tend to just do a suicide zipline in the hopes of getting the money within B's area so that it resets the zone to eithee A or C.
 
On the whole, I very much like the class/gun setup in this game.

Yeah, it's simplified, but it makes sense overall from what I've seen.

Don't get me wrong, I will miss my RPG dearly as the people who play with me will no doubt already know. ;)
But everything kind of makes sense up till this point. Hope that they will be able to make something really special out of this game with a bit of good feedback.
Also love how there aren't any jets in this game as they really didn't offer anything in BF4 besides being occupied by asshole jetwhores who were in 99% of the cases worthless once they had to go infantry. ;)

That's at least 2 big annoyances that this game tackles from my point of view.

Thank you for responding, I though BF4 had pretty good graphics in multiplayer, I'm going to pick it up with Bloodborne next week and hope I can find time to balance both.
 
Someone help, PS4 version, how does it play/look? I saw the SS from the XBOX One copy and it was shocking, not graphically driven but was wondering if this game is lazily made. Hope everyones having fun, should pick up tonight!

I think bf4 was better looking. Bfh reminds me a lot of nuketown on some maps. What is really getting to me though is the amount of slowdown on some of the maps. Framerate really takes a dive on some maps.
 
It's been a laggy experience so far, getting insta-killed alot, taking damage behind corners, and I'm seeing some rubberbanding too. I'm also pretty dissapointed to not see the option to adjust network smoothing like in BF4. I'm gonna chalk it up to the servers being stressed since the Beta felt fantastic in this regard. Also the framerate really does take a substantial hit at times.
 
I like it but I did notice that at least some of the invisible walls when you're trying to shoot near the edges of stuff (rocks mostly) are still there.

Maybe but I think give it some time, the game isn't even out in Europe and UK yet which is BF land.

PS4 numbers will pick up a lot after that.

Hardline feels alot like the last Medal of Honor game to me.
 
This exactly why I'm going to buy this. Hoping it will tide me over till the new one releases.
Most of why I'm buying this too. No desire to play conquest. I'll be spending all my time in Rescue and Crosshair... With a little Heist thrown in for good measure. It's my RainbowSix fix until Siege.
 
It as been fantastic for me so far, I'd even go so far as to say it has one of the best netcodes so far this gen.

+1

Hotwire has to be one of the best multiplayer gametypes I've played in recent memory. It's literally the movie Speed but with guns and rockets.
 
Got the game and didnt even enjoy the beta so much, now i can say it was money well spent.
My favorite modes are heist, bloodmoney and rescue.
Playing on X1, no problems with servers or hit reg, its such a fun game and way more rewarding than BF4 was in the begining.
 
Are there many Xbox one players here? I'm thinking of getting the game but literally none of the people on my friends list play it and it'd be nice to have some teammates sometimes...
 
Any statistics on how many users are playing what game type in multi? I felt like I kept running into the same people in heist last night, so I moved over to CQ small
 
On XB1, I think the graphics are not too good. After waiting 8+ years for this gen to start, which was 1 1/2 years ago, I expect better than this.
 
Doesn't look as good as BF4. Looks decent/meh on PC. X-post.

It's pretty shameful how bad this looks on Xbone.

It's pretty shameful how everything looks on Xbone. MS really fucked up. This is coming from someone who has two Xbones. I expected better from next-gen.

However, the game is still fun :)

Not to be rude but that's an insult to the Bad Company games. Hardline is nowhere near their level IMO

i kind've want to pull the trigger and have my friends do the same... but seeing videos and reading comments like this, ugh. I know it's not ALWAYS about the visuals but i played a good amount of BF4 on pc and transitioning to this is going to be painful i think. Plus, why should i pay more money for an inferior version? Makes no sense.

I think both systems messed up in terms of hardware. This gen really should have had more powerful hardware and been a bigger jump from previous gen.

Last gen most people were looking to build a PC at the 5 year mark or so when the current consoles became totally obsolete. This gen it almost seems like we are already at that point.

Hardline looks pretty awful on X1 and marginally better on PS4, and looks like it doesnt belong on this gen.

It's not the Xbone version only, the PS4 version doesnt look much better.

Help us repi! XD

There are also a lot of lazy parts of the game. In one map there are woods/jungle that you can walk through. Then there is more dense jungle that is just a block with jungle mesh on it, a block you run into. Sucks going after someone and trying to figure out what parts of the map are not going to block your path when you can't tell.

Yes it really doesn't look next gen. It looks end of last gen graphics.

What I find really disappointing is that I thought the Frostbite engine could scale, and with learning the new hardware and new dev SDK"s we would get better games from this engine. Now I don't know what they have done the last 2 years with this engine but it looks worse.

And the reason that is disappointing to me is SW Battlefront. Please don't F that up, and it too looks a lot like last gen I will be upset.

I really expected more than 720p. I played BF4 on PS4 and X1 and difference is noticeable. Hope they up the resolution but i'm not holding my breath on that one.
 
I said fuck it to the Ebay seller and bought from Origin with a Mexican proxy for $40.

Yep did the same thing. Paypal only just charged my card, but I opened up a claim with Paypal. Hopefully I get my $40... Well in the next 30 days I guess. Apparently some people tried to reach the seller on social media, however he's just blocking them.

Now I feel obligated to get at least 60 hours in the game. Shouldn't be too hard. I was engrossed in BF4 and BOTH Hardline Beta's hooked me to some extent.

A lot of XBOne exclusives look fantastic. The Forza games and Sunset Overdrive all look fantastic. With Hardline it feels like a result of EA telling Visceral to make a Battlefield game but to use whatever assets and resources they currently have from BF4.

If Visceral had the chance to make something from the ground up I'm pretty sure they could make something look and play fantastic. They're a talented dev team.
 
So I had a friend swear up and down he had a gator jump out and eat him while playing the Everglades map. Anyone else see anything like that?

Also the Hollywood heights map DOES look awesome and is chaotic as hell

I think the block is the most chaotic map. That thing is like a shoebox.
