This beta is rad as poo poo, and I can't wait until the end of next month so I can play the (hopefully) finished product with other PC goons. As soon as I heard WOOP WOOP DATS DA SOUND OF DA PO-LEEEEECE as I mowed a thief down with an armored SUV, I was sold.

I would like to state that this game owns. There is no SRAW, but the game is really good and owns and you should play it becuase it's fun as hell.

Oh yeah and if you're not in CTS and playing with goons you're not cool, there are a TON of goons playing hardline so it's a bit of a clusterfuck but it's still great. Play with goons.

Yeah it's actually not hitler reincarnated but still not sure if it's worth the monies.

The most fun thing I've done so far is ride shotgun in the Armored SUV listening to "dat system" as we run "fools" over like it "ain't no thang". I'm also really enjoying the Scout Elite. It comes, at least in the beta, already equipped with a straight pull.

It's kind of a fresh take on Battlefield 64 player, but without tanks there's no real force multipliers or force projection. Which sucks.

In this game people go whizzing by in cars and trucks constantly, on both teams and nobody really seems to give them much notice, as they're made of cardboard and eventually they'll bump in to one too many palm trees or parked cars and explode on their own.

Compare to more traditional BF games, Tanks will take a loving beating, are immune to small arms fire and can comfortably take on three infantry units or one light armor at range. The formula here is that everyone is more or less equal, with vehicles being only slightly more powerful, although they're mostly a death trap as they're still made from cardboard, riding on glass wheels. Did you hit three parked cars in under a minute on this narrow street? Kaboom.

Definitely going to play tomorrow and probably some more over the weekend, but this feels.... flat. Without tanks there's no depth to gameplay, no strategy, it's just COD with jeeps. After 15 minutes the "cops vs robbahs" patina wears off and it's just a mediocre Battlefield spin-off.

I do want to thank :dice: for letting us see what an off-year low budget version of "Black Ops II" would look like in the Frostbite engine. You'd be crazy to spend $60 on this game when BF4 is only $20.

Played a few games of the beta on PC. Confirmed what I already felt from gameplay videos, that its stale and boring and the theme isn't really for me. At least by the time they poo poo out a BF5 I might be ready to give EA some money again.

Tanks aren't really that necessary in Hardline. In Battlefield tanks were basically ways to break stalemates on taking points or to reinforce them. In Hardline the point is that everyone should be zipping around the map so much that there are no stalemates. A tank in Hardline would be a giant gently caress you to both the setting and the balance when Mechanics don't have rocket launchers by default.

It's so satisfying getting shotgun and sniper rifle kills while hanging out of a car. In all my time playing BF4 I've gotten very few kills with my main arm from inside a vehicle, but I've been dominating guys in Hotwire all day from inside my muscle car.

It's a shame that Conquest Large only has one map. Dustbowl is fun but it usually turns into "storm the motel for until tickets run out".

Also for some reason I had the image in my head of Battlefield but with cowboys. Rollin' in a carriage with your posse, blasting outlaws with lever-action rifles. "Them varmints planted the TNT! Defend the mineshaft, yeehaw!"

interesting game

Heist is over way to quick sometimes
Hotwire is a lot of fun, no lanes, zipping around
Conquest can suck a fat dick

Dieing really quick but killing people quick so :shrug:, mouse sensitivity seems a bit wack as well

Hard to see people on the map with the crane, texture blur together no colour definition, no issues on dustbowl (prob my bad eyes). Would like to change the graphics but they are greyed out.

That would be really cool if each expansion just had a reskin set of outfit themes that servers can turn on and off. Cowboys vs Indians, Allies vs Axis. Yea I know it falls on everyones "ARRGH I GOT AN AXE TO GRIND ABOUT A VIDEO GAME, EA" but it would just be a neat little set of cosmetic changes.

I'm not sure how I feel about PDWs. They are really powerful close quarters but are basically giving away a free kill if you try to do anything medium range. I love my PDWs, even if they weren't the most powerful. They were okay enough even at medium range. I love the UMP45 and the Uzi.

It definitely has drop, and I think the accuracy is a byproduct of shooting from a vehicle where you are basically treated as perfectly still even though you're moving around. Just some lucky shots at the end of the day.

So, by class, what is your guys favorite weapons? I'm hoping to get the K10 before the beta ends because I absolutely love the Vector's design, but other than that I really don't know what to unlock. I've been really enjoying the UMP45, it's definitely one of the powerhouse PDWs. And I'm really digging the new red dot sight.

The AKSU(?) for the operator class. I put a grip on it and it seems laser accurate even in full auto at short to medium ranges.

The HK51 for the ciminal enforcer is some good poo poo. If you put it on single shot you can drop dudes on medium to long range no problem, and on full-auto it's still fairly capable for point-blank shooting. The cops' SCAR-H seems to be pretty much the same, though I haven't used it as much yet.

I think the SA-58 OSW is the best of the enforcer weapons, but it needs to be restrained a lot because it kicks like a motherfucker. The 3.5x scope it has by default doesn't do it any favors either.

So I'm building a gaming pc Street not having played much of anything since college. Used to play about of counter-strike (pre source) and UT. Plagued Halo and cod in college, but the fast twitch spaz style really turned me off. Buddy suggested battlefield, which I've not played since 1942, because it's a lil slower and more strategic. Is this still true?

And should I play this or bf4? Will goons be migrating to hardline

Very short range, one round in the magazine. One hit non-leathal takedown (always the most silent takedown).
