RELEASE DATE: 17TH MARCH 2015 / 20TH MARCH 2015 (UK):argh:

Battlefield Hardline is the latest mod for Battlefield 4 latest full price release in the Battlefield series from arch-gougers extraordinaire EA. This time, though, all of the online related problems won't be the fault of :dice: (I know!), instead we get to blame Visceral, but as yet they do not have a comedy smilie. :dice: are working on screwing up the new Battlefront Star Wars game in time for Xmas, so we can at least look forward to that.

Remember those halcyon days when you were a kid, and you'd be outdoors all summer, playing Cops & Robbers with your pals, grazing your knee and soaking up all that healthy sun and fresh air? Well, this is nothing like that. Sure, it's Cops & Robbers, but instead of being outside, you're in whatever Monster stained pit you occupy when you play your video games, your childhood friends have been replaced by racist 12 year olds from the parts of our countries we'd like to pretend don't exist, and you will never see the sun, or feel the fresh air on your skin again.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

A Playstation 3 or 4, or an Xbox One/360. Hahaha suck it PC nerds.

FEATURES Shamelessly stolen from the PC thread. COPS & ROBBERS!



-All new setting in the Modern Urban Crime Environment!
-9 new maps, supporting up to 64 players for Conquest and TDM on PS4 and Xbox One.
-Many new game modes, but Conquest will make a return so if they suck you can fall back on that
-Hilarious bugs that will all get patched out in 2 months never, ever get patched, or if they do, there will be new ones.
-Commander is replaced with "hacker" who can take control of certain parts of the environment. No doubt this role will be filled by L33T HAKERZ and their MAD SK1LLZ.
-A single player campaign full of racial stereotypes! Apparently they've got some people off TV doing the VA work, but who cares. It's not like they've got the cast of The Bill.
-New gadgets like the zip-line, grappling hook and trip-mines.
-Hanging out of car windows and shooting people, while your car radio plays SICK TUNES.
-GUNS. MORE GUNS.
-Vehicles. Cars, Motorbikes, APCs, all that sort of thing. Allegedly this is the "Fastest Battlefield". We shall see.
-You can blow up parts of the scenery again, like you did in Battlefield 4. I'm not using that word. You know the one.
-New System for unlocking weapons, gadgets, attachments and vehicle upgrades: Battlefield funbux. Also, a far more sensible approach to Battlepacks. FINALLY.
-In the Beta, you could change your loadout without having to join a game. IMAGINE THAT.
-Spray your battlelog emblem onto any flat part of the world geometry! This is actually quite cool.

GAME MODES (I stole this too. COPS! ROBBERS!)



Lots of new ones. Because why not.

-Conquest: God's own way of playing BF.
-Team Deathmatch
-Heist: Criminals try to break into a vault to steal loot and then escape with it, The Filth must stop them. Like Rush, but not terrible.
-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.
-Hotwire: Domination, but the point's not a point it's a car! Drive fast to score points.
-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 (COPS! AND! ROBBERS!)



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

More info, HERE!

PREMIUM!

You thought you would get the whole game when you bought it? Oh you poor fool. As this is an EA game, there is the option [sic] to GO PREMIUM and lord it over all the other peasants. What will your £40 buy you?

Four Super Features [EA's words, not mine.]

As a Battlefield Hardline Premium member, you can look forward to four Super Features, designed to make the gaming experience richer and more personalized. The four features are:

-Masks – New player masks with unique game play benefits tied to the theme of each mask.
-Gun Bench – Provides players with the ability to visually customize their weapons and track their kills per weapon.
-Competitive Play – Support for competitive play through Battlefield Hardline Premium-access only tournaments and ladders.
-Legendary Status – Provides re-playability of the entire progression system.

Yeah that's right, if you want to see how many other nerds you've killed with gun x, you have to pay for the privilege. Because gently caress you.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

Four Expansion Packs

On top of this, Battlefield Hardline Premium members will be able to enjoy four digital expansion packs featuring all-new multiplayer maps, modes, vehicles and in-game content. Remember: you’ll get a 2-week head start* with these expansions if you go Premium. Here’s what’s coming up:

-Battlefield Hardline: Criminal Activity – Players have to make a name for themselves in fast-paced, highly-destructible new maps littered with small-time crime jobs. Available summer 2015.
-Battlefield Hardline: Robbery – Take down the opposition head on and progress through key locations with major cinematic action. Available summer 2015.
-Battlefield Hardline: Getaway – This is frantic, high-speed chases that immerse players deeper in the heist. Available fall 2015.
-Battlefield Hardline: Betrayal – There is a rat in every operation and players will have to find out who to trust. Available winter early 2016.

More Battlefield Hardline Premium Perks

-Two weeks early access to all expansion packs
-12 Gold Battlepacks
-New personalization options including gun camos, ammo skins, and more Battlefield Hardline Premium exclusive in-game items
-Access to double-XP, in-game missions, and more Battlefield Hardline Premium exclusive events
-Priority position in server queues

Clearly that last one is worth the £40 on it's own.

Hells yeah. I know it will have problems out of the gate, but I'm still getting it like an idiot. Had my copy pre-ordered since E3 2014 because Battlefield is one of the very few games left I'll put $60 down on. Will wait for Premium's inevitable sale though.

I convinced myself for ages I wasn't going to pre-order and then one day my will snapped and here we are. I plan on drinking while playing to deal with the shame/awesome.

I'm torn between getting this on PC or PS4. I never played BF4 on PS4 - does anyone know if it was a ghost town?

To me the pros and cons are:

PC: game will look better but I'm sitting at my desk to play, and there's always the chance for hackers or whatever, but probably a huge population of players
PS4: couch play with controller, level playing field hardware wise and probably no hacking (not sure if you even can on consoles), but I'm unsure about the player population

I know the PS4 is only running 900p and can top out at 60fps even though I heard it can drop occasionally, but that doesn't bother me. From the beta streams I saw though it seemed like the performance was fine.

BF4 has the biggest population on PS4, so you don't have to worry about a lack of players there. PC usually has the second highest or highest population depending on the time of day.

Buy it on PS4, there will be more of us to regret your decision with, for longer.

Runs til release. You get a 10 hour trial. Stats and unlocks carry over to retail. You can buy digitally for 10% off (which covers the $5 sub fee).

Ok, now that I figured out how to lean out the window of a car and shoot my grenade launcher, Hotwire is the best mode. In a single round, I flipped off a police chopper, wedged one of the enemies cars into a guardrail in Dust Bowl and watched my teammate blow it away with a grenade launcher, and finished top of the scoreboard.

This is such a dilemma. Do I want to buy it, and get in on the fun glitches before everything gets 'patched' to support the vocal lone wolf sniper babby community? Or should I vote with my wallet?

Might just trade in some games so I don't feel too bad, and skip premium.

E: there's a guy streaming the game from the back room of a gamestop :lol: it doesn't look too broken, and the modes seem pretty fun.
