BATTLELOG PAGE: https://battlelog.medalofhonor.com/bfh

Hardline is the latest installment in Electronic Art's best selling Halo franchise. This one is a bit different from the previous entries, being made by a different dev team, Visercal (Dead Space) so we can finally retire the unfunny :dice: smilie! It moves away from the World War Whatever Number We're Up To Now setting of previous Halo games and instead to a Modern Urban Crime Enviroment with a greater focus on close combat and fast cars.

Features



-All new setting in the Modern Urban Crime Enviroment
-9 new maps, all supporting up to 64 players (as with every Halo game save BC2)
-Many new game modes, but Conquest will make a return so if they suck you can fall back on that
-:cumpolice:
-Hilarious bugs that will all get patched out in 2 months.
-Commander is replaced with "hacker" who can take control of certain parts of the enviroment, unfortunately not much is known but it's probably gonna be cooler than the commander was
-A single player campaign that's probably gonna suck. While Visceral can probably do a better job than DICE, it's still not worth getting your hopes up.
-New gadgets like the zip-line, grapling hook and trip-mines.
-Hanging out of car windows.
-A fuckload of guns, including the AKM, TEC-9 and double barrel shotgun.
-Tanks, Helicopters, Boats and other vehicles are still in, don't worry this poo poo is still Halo.
-Halo 4's "Levelution" will return. In the alpha you could bring down a massive crane that would gently caress up the surrounding buildings and overpass.
-New System for unlocking weapons, gadgets, attachments and vehicle upgrades: Halo Bucks!. Similar to Call of Duty: The Black Cops: The Number One's Trout Bucks system.
-Spray your battlelog emblem onto any flat part of the world geometry!
-ALLIGATORS CONFRIMED

GAMEMODES



Lots of new ones. As far as I can tell Conquest (and maybe Bloodmoney?) is still the only one meant for 64 players while the others are meant for 32 players. This will not stop 64 player Heist servers from popping up.

-Conquest: Classic BF, will be playable in the beta
-Team Deathmatch
-Heist: Criminals try to break into a vault to steal loot and then escape with it, :cumpolice: must stop them. think Rush but better. One of the gamemodes from last summer's alpha, returning for the beta. Really fun if you have a decent team.
-Bloodmoney: Pile of cash in the middle of the map. Bring the most cash from the pile to your base. You can also sneak into the enemy base and steal theirs. One of the gamemodes in the alpha. Not too amazing.
-Hotwire: Domination, but the point's not a point it's a car! Drive fast to score points. Confrimed to be featured in the open beta. Really, really fun.
-Rescue: Police try to rescure hostages and criminals try to stop them. Meant for smaller player counts, one life each round. It's pretty much Counter-Strike.
-Crosshair: One life just like with Rescue, but this time the police are escorting a VIP as the criminals try to assassinate him.

More info, HERE!

Maps



Generally smaller and tighter than Halo 3/4s maps. However there's nothing that looks as linear as Metro, Locker or the BC2 maps.

-Downtown
-Bank Job
-The Block
-Dustbowl
-Hollywood Heights
-Growhouse
-Derailed
-Riptide
-Everglades

Hardline Premium

Yes there is Premium for this game. Costs $50 same as always and will have 4 DLC packs and some other random bonuses that no one really gives a poo poo about such as a Call of Duty style prestige system that no one will actually do. Having said that, the first DLC pack won't be launched until the summer so you have a few months to track it down for cheaper before you start to miss out on poo poo.


Goon platoons

(click the images to get these badical emblems)

[CUMP] - The :cumpolice: will be the main goon platoon for North America.

THE :cumpolice: BATTLELOG PLATOON IS RIGHT HERE: http://battlelog.medalofhonor.com/bfh/platoons/view/2185842860893017448/

The best way to be able to play the beta and eventually final game with goons will be to check out the Camping The Stairs mumble. The PGS thread with all CTS mumble info can be found right here

In fact, [CUMP] recruitment will only be open to people who are regulars on mumble for the time being. So you'll need to actually play with us to get in. This way we don't run into the problem with the [LLJK] platoon where a load of people who don't play are taking up slots thereby requiring us to make a half-dozen extra platoons for the people who do.



:cumpolice: ATF [CUMP]'EM AND DUMP'EM SERVER BATTLELOG SERVER

The :cumpolice: will have an official :cumpolice: server - ATF [CUMP] EM AND DUMP EM! be sure to join it when the game is out and the server is live. It will be max 40 players. The PGS thread will be linked once that's up but I'm not gonna make it until I get all the server's info and poo poo so there can be actual content to the thread.

Any auxiliary platoons will be added once they are created and needed will not be needed as Halo 4 platoons will still work in Hardline.

yea i mean its only in the exact same engine with the same publisher and probably some shared assets

its silly to see the similarities

Precisely. And Halo 4 is a really good game so this one will probably be aswell.

Also this isn't going to be rushed out to release so it can be on the shelves before Call Of Duty: Advance Wars: Days of Ruin: Rising: Revegneance 2 like Halo 4 was so it will be in a much better state at release.

The same can't be said about Battlefront however so I'd avoid that piece of poo poo.

Pierson posted:

How was Heist-mode in the alpha/beta? An AAA-quality, PVP version of Payday 2 sounds fuckin' awesome but this is DICE and Battlefield so I have little hope of that being true.

It's basically a combo of Rush+CTF where the bad guys (criminals) need to blow up an MCOM to steal the loot inside and then take it to an extraction point while the even worse guys (cops (just another gang)) need to stop them. It was really fun in the alpha, like really really fun. The blood-money mode was the one that most people played the most and that one was lame but there will still be conquest so don't worry too much.

What button do I press to-

Spray your emblem - "C" Lean out the car window - "Z" Change the radio station - "G"

Explain the classes, I'm too mentally disabled and homosexual to figure them out

Similar to the Halo 3/4 classes. Operator is Assault with the health pack and defib. Mechanic is Engineer with the repair tool, but he trades the rocket launcher for a more setting appropriate grenade launcher. The RPG, SMAW and Stinger are still in the game but only as Halo-pickups. Enforcer is the Support with Ammo packs and C4/Breaching Charges and the Professional is like Recon with the claymore/trip mine and the TUGS/Camera

What about their gun's?

No more all class weapons. Even sidearms are class specific. Operator gets Assault Rifles, Carbines and low-caliber semi-auto Pistols. Mechanic gets SMGs and Revolvers. Enforcer gets Shotguns, Battle Rifles and high caliber semi-autos. Professional gets Sniper Rifles, DMRs and Machine-Pistols. LMGs are Halo-pick up only.

Also worth mentioning that all unlockable gun's are faction specific when you first get them. Starting out only the Criminals can get the FAL and only the Cops can get the SCAR; Criminals get the AKM and Cops M16. But with enough kills you will be able to use them both on either side.

How do I unlock poo poo?

Every point you score gets you cash. Once you get enough cash you can unlock poo poo with it from the in game or Battlelog loadout menus. Almost all equipment can be unlocked as soon as you have the cash for it. Vehicles get unlocks as well but they have a different loadout menu (hint, it's under the "Vehicles" tab) and you should focus on infantry poo poo for a bit anyway unless you play on playing Hotwire exclusively.

So what gun's should I unlock first?

Start with equipment before getting weapons.

What equipment should I get first?

The Defib/EpiPen (Operator), Repair Tool (Mechanic), Breaching Charges (Enforcer), Camera (Professional) and Thomas A. Swift's Electrical Rifle (actually a handgun) should be your first unlocks. Also consider the Zip-line and grapple-hook as they are inexpensive and useable by all classes.

What's your favorite anime?

Cross Ange. You should watch it. The very end of the first episode is where it starts to get really good so watch it all the way through.

What gun's should I buy first?

First get the Enforcer's Battle Rifles. While the Shotguns are good, they still have limited range and if you want ammo, C4 and the ablity to shoot farther than 30 meters, you'll want a Battle-Rifle. They are however somewhat expensive, at >20k for the cheaper SCAR and FAL. After that probably the DMRs, again they're expensive at >20k for the cheaper M14/Saiga but they can lay down much more fire than the Scout Elite can, which already shoots very fast.

How do interrogate people?

You must deliver a nonlethal takedown. Remember, a nonlethal takedown is always the most silent takedown. Once they are nonlethally (and silently) taken down, hold your interact key on them to interogate them, revealing the location of all enemies on the mini-map.

How do I deliver a nonlethal takedown (always the most silent takedown)?

Get a takedown (back attack) with a blunt melee weapon (club or hammer) or shoot them with the Thomas A. Swift's Electrical Rife. Both require you to be at very close range.

I got into a car and it instantly exploded and it said I got killed by something called "SABOTAGE." What the gently caress is "Sabotage?"

A 1994 song by the Hip-Hop group The Beastie Boys. The first song on their alum "Ill Communication." It's a pretty good song, have a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5rRZdiu1UE Sadly it's absent from Hardline's soundtrack.

No I mean, the Halo: Hardline "Sabotage" weapon.

A Mechanic equip, costing $30k. You can rig almost any intractable object to explode if an enemy tries to use it. The bomb will be visible on the object and will have a strobing green LED on it but pubbies won't notice that don't worry.

Is this game canon?

WARNING: THIS GAME IS NOT CANON

I keep getting my poo poo pushed in by helo-chopters. Where the gently caress is the Stinger?

It's a battle pick up. However you can buy a vehicle upgrade that makes your cars spawn RPGs, LMGs and the Stinger in the trunk. These are very expensive with the Stinger being the most pricey weapon in the whole game at a massive 90k.

How do I use the Zip-line or Grapplehook?

When there's a no symbol, you can't. When there is a proper reticule, you can. I don't know why but people actually ask this question.

The only thing this game has offered me so far that Battlefield doesn't is first that it works and second Hotwire. New maps are fine I guess but in no way does this make me want to pay full price. I would pay $20 though.

$20 Is also how much Eonwe paid for H1Z1 even though it's in a no where near release pre-pre-pre-pre-alpha and in the unlikely even that it is released will be free to play.

Lol, so I was playing on the same team as some guy named "SpingebilI" and he just kept getting kills that said "killed", the round prior to this one he went 27-0 or something, so I googled "Spingebill Battlefield" and one of the first results featured his name in an article about hacks plaguing the open beta.

That article is poo poo. Yesterday there was a guy who was hacking on the server we were on early in them morning, and then late in the afternoon he got Fairfight banned. Hardline and Halo 4 have the best anticheat system there is. Any obvious hacker is only a couple days, if not hours away from being Fairfight banned.

BC2 gunplay was not very good, neither was the movement, vehicle control and the maps were really bad. 2142 had to deal with all the poo poo that went with the Refractor engine even if DICE did have some decent ideas there. It also had really bad maps like BC2. Metro and Locker can trace their lineage to Gibraltar and Berlin in 2142. In 3 and 4 most of the maps got a bit more open.

So really the series didn't actually live up to its potential until 3.
