I think in general police at least pretend to try and minimise casualities

I get that - but this is an FPS, not the Police - I mean if it was a stealth game (like Thief for example) I totally get it - but a First Person Shooter - where you aren't supposed to shoot....  ???

They're trying to mix it up is all. There's only so many scenarios of shoot em up you can run through without it becoming mundane. Without the freeze scenario it's actually much harder to shoot your way out than previous bf campaigns, which I like to a point although everyone will take the arrest route because it's easier. It would be much better if they could improve the AI tho...did I mention that?

I will be a little fairer in my followup - I played the Beta and I didn't enjoy it, I think Visceral should be acknowledged for attempting to breath life into the slightly stagnant genre of modern FPS games. But instead of breaking new ground and being what could have been a truly revolutionary game, they instead missed the mark.

As many have said, it feels like a BF4 reskin at Full price, If this had been released as a seperate Franchise or had gone for a more mass Civil Riot feel, could have been a battlefield game.

Speaking as , at most a casual gamer, who has fond memories of many many younger hours playing QWTF! The early BF franchise etc, but then drifting away as  being old intervenes, what this game supplies that has been missing from alternatives is the feel that is similar to BC2.

I'm sure you guys who think about games more than I do will be able to define what I'm talking about, but IMO hardline fills a gap in play styles.

I'm sure there's nothing revolutionarily new in hardline, but online games have lifespans and I'm happy that something's come along to fill the BC2 gap

Yea, I feel that it is not just a re-skin of BF4, it feels more different to play and it's more fun(at the moment). Maybe I'm influenced by less time gaming than I used to do or something. Also I do like how the weapons are limited to specific classes now.
I also agree with Woomanchu, it does kinda have a bad company 2 feel to it.

Agreed. It's bc2 ish. I'm in the same casual gamer camp, but I'm not sure whether that disqualifies us from reviewing games or not, being that were possibly more level headed and worldly (lol), but have less screen time, whilst hardcore gamers are aware of nuances because of long hours logged, but are picky and possibly deranged from not actually living in the real world/sleep deprived and perhaps lack perspective.

Controversial?

Why didnt they just fucking fix BF2 in the first place? I looked at getting into this but tbh it just didnt appeal to me at all.

BF4 doesnt cut it for me either. I might actually have to play WOW instead of just HS :(

What exactly is it that doesn't cut it for you fellas/lady? It's different but very similar for me. The main thing I've noticed is I'm less likely to have a crazy firefight but still survive, as in there's less close calls. Otherwise the only difference I can identify is that because the franchise has had a revamp several times there's a lot of kids and new short term players, so way less teamwork. Thats a major difference from a game that was 5 years old and everyone knew everyone and played in teams together.

But then that's what the friends playing thingamabob is all about. Except Bigrobotbill is mostly the only one ever on...I must look up kiwichch, had a splendid game with him on my team...

Anyway thoughts?
