THIS IS THE PC THREAD, FOR THE HALO: HARDLINE CONSOLE THREAD, GO HERE! WHY YOU WOULD EVER WANT TO PLAY A HALO GAME ON CONSOLES IS BEYOND ME BUT GO RIGHT AHEAD!



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xFVaAmCJoo

:cumpolice:RELEASE DATE: MARCH 17, 2015:cumpolice:OPEN BETA: FEBRUARY 3, 2015:cumpolice:

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: similie! 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.

:pcgaming: System Requirements

Exact specs should be released by the time the beta starts. Sit tight.

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.
-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!
-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: CTF, but the flag's not a flag it's a car! Confrimed to be featured in the open beta.
-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, Seen in the alpha, to be seen again in the beta
-Bank Job, also in the beta
-The Block
-Dustbowl, in the beta as well
-Hollywood Heights
-Growhouse :420:
-Derailed
-Riptide
-Everglades

More info, HERE!

The Halo: Hardline Open beta starts on Tuesday, February 3, 2015. The beta will allow players to rank up to max rank and have access to all weapons and gadgets. Hotwire, Conquest and Heist will be the playable gamemodes and Downtown, Dustbowl and Bank Job the playable maps. Filesize confrimed to be 11 GBs, there will be an option to preload.

Find out more: HERE!
And visit the Battlelog page to actually play this poo poo once the beta starts.

You should be able to preload the beta on Origin on Monday, February 2, 2015.


Goon platoons



[CUMP] - The :cumpolice: will be the main goon platoon for North America. It's currently not made yet since Hardline still isn't out. But rest assure, you will be able to get your CUMP on come release!

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

Any axillary platoons will be added once they are created and needed

Whelp, there's definitely hackers. Just left a server with a chap who was getting headshots with an MPX from a range of about 800m, every time, in one shot. Bit annoying really, but expected at this stage.

They will do nothing to seriously fix this.

I'm sure they're competent enough to use this as a hacker honeypot. I mean I hope.

I hope the same thing but after watching BF 3 & 4 I don't have much confidence. At least there are servers with admins which can help the problem.
