You know I was very skeptical of this game.. But I have had some serious fun with it.

Visceral made a game not as serious as Battlefield but still has the same feel.. They even improved on some of the mechanics.

I'm in

 

[Triggerhappytel]

So whats the reason behind the reload animations ? Just cuz ?

People loved them in Blood Dragon?

 

[Milennia]

Battlefield Hardline|OT| is it fixed.........now?

 

[ElzarTheBam]

The criminal dialogue is fantastic.

We have a pork truck on the way.

Lololol

Looking for some friends that will be playing the Xbox One version! I have the full game right now, so I'll be playing all weekend if anybody here wants to form a GAF squad. If you use your mic that's even better!

Just send me a GAF message with your gamertag and I'll add you when I log on tonight!

 

[FinKL]

Oh shit, those reload easter eggs are amazing. I skipped BF4, but this might have to tickle my fancy until Rainbow Six

 

[brennok]

What? I thought they'd lock player so that they'll suit each mode.
One big issue in BF has always been idiot admins setting all servers to 64 players even for other modea than CQL. "64 players" has become a buzzword when it comes to Battlefield, as if it was always better with more players.

If it wasn't popular you would see the servers empty though.

Personally I prefer a high player count. I find it disappointing that even on ranked servers they have imposed player limits. Based on my experience in beta 32 players was enough for Heist, but not enough for Hotwire. It was way too easy to avoid the enemies. Short of completely changing the mode so it was like Rush where only one side drove the marked cars, it needs more people or smaller maps.

My brother ordered the game for me for Xmas so I will be playing a little, but I am not excited for the launch modes. 2 of the 7 are single spawn modes which I am not a fan of and tend to avoid. Hotwire was ok, but needed some significant tweaking since at least in beta it was always a lopsided match. Heist was a campfest in beta and Blood Money was the same way towards the end of the first beta.

Yeah so did I. 64 players is so hectic for the small maps, and The Block drops frames like crazy.

Battlefield Hardline |OT| Keep the drive-bys in game, please!

I've been playing it for a few hours (just online) am I'm really enjoying it, Blood Money is great fun but I haven't been able to try out some of the other modes like rescue as I can't find a full game yet.

Giving snipers the finger in game is great tho.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

All in on this one boys

Still debating PC or PS4
Prob will depend on which one is the BF gaf majority

Went with ps4 since my rl friends are getting it on ps4

Are you using the server browser, then selecting 'full' option under the spaces criteria?

 

[Cheddahz]

played a few campaign missions today and i thought it was fun (it was also cool to hear ratking have a song in a game)

 

[Meneses]

Battlefield Hardline |OT| I'm only here for the reloads

 

[Tubie]

Can't wait for this.

I will be playing Hotwire for hours at a time next week.

Wouldn't that be left click if you're playing as a cop though? D:

Too soon?

Battlefield: Hardline |OT| Woop-woop, that's the sound of da police

 

[Eclectic Jabber Monkey]

Easter Eggs. There seems to be a lot in this game.

Hopefully there are some good Dead Space related surprises in Hardline. I'm liking the tone you guys created with the reload animations, couch, etc. Nice breath of fresh air where FPS games are trapped are so overly serious these days. Bad Co. 1 was great in this regard, didn't like the shift in tone with BC2.

Looking forward to trying Hardline via EA Access this weekend.

 

[bananafactory]

When's the review embargo?

 

[Liquidsnake]

Are the in game MP graphics really a huge step back compared to BF4?

I keep hearing that it looks really bad.

I do not work with/for EA or Visceral Games.

But yeah I like the non-serious direction this game seems to be taking. I just found out this exists:

 

[Karak]

Playing now and liking it somewhat. Some issues here and there but one thing it isn't is pretty.

 

[Syriel]

When's the review embargo?

Tuesday, one minute after midnight.

 

[Dominator]

See I'm playing through campaign and some stuff looks fantastic and some looks terrible. It's weird lol

 

[Forerunner]

Amazon is delivering my hard copy on Tuesday! 50gb is too much for my data cap (100gb).

 

[Karak]

See I'm playing through campaign and some stuff looks fantastic and some looks terrible. It's weird lol

Right and to me the average is not pretty The overall artistic level is brutally chaotic at times.

 

[ToraShiro]

Whoop! Whoop! It's the sound of me buying it day one.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Yeah, SP seems to look pretty great in areas. MP is overall pretty bland, except for some of the environments (California on fire).

 

[Smidget]

Can I get a month of EA Access in the future and try it out for 10 hours at any time? Or is it only for prerelease?

Haha nice.

I thought I read you did from a Dead Space thread at some point, oops. I'm pretty sure I saw a Visceral dev on GAF at some point. I think I more coffee is in order, haha.

 

[zychi]

Cheapest place to buy this for PC/PS4?

It is always better with more players. I love 64 player team death match. If you forget about your k/d it's so much fun.

 

[JoJo UK]

To be fair no, just the quick match option, I'll give the server browser a go though. Thanks!

I've seen a Dead Space Marker statue in one of the maps and in the everglades map you can see alligators slip under the water. Not really an easter egg but closer to the dinosaur mod than DICE ever got.

 

[zero86r]

Played a few games earlier, so far I'm enjoying the trial but not sure I'll pick it up right away.

 

[Nyteshade517]

Cheapest place to buy this for PC/PS4?

GMG has the standard version of Hardline (PC) for $49.99 in their VIP section...that's the cheapest I've seen

I'm still debating picking this up...I'll make my mind up Monday

 

[VisceralBowl]

nvm VIP does not work with codes.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

He's asking for title suggestions.

Battfield Hardline |OT| Soft launch on EA Access counts rite?



I keed.

 

[Nyteshade517]

nvm VIP does not work with codes.

I tried using the codes on the non-VIP priced version and it still didn't work...I guess it's one of the excluded games

[Fersis]

Will buy for Hotwire!

[Nowise10]

How are some of you playing multiple campaign missions? Isn't only Episode 1 unlocked until launch?

Battlefield Hardline [OT]: Battlefield FIVE-O

This is good

 

[bitcloudrzr]

I didn't see anyone post this, but they aren't holding back review copies.

"That rumour about EA holding back review copies of Battlefield Hardline until launch day isn't true http://t.co/nDHhaPgQCw"

Huh. How did that rumor get started?
