I've already eaten my words about Hardline

I played it in the previous beta and it was rear end, and I had no confidence in them to fix it up between now and this recent beta

but they did

and its fun

So any word on if there will be premium or if Hardline is going to be a one off kind of deal?

Hahahahahah, do you even have to ask that question? You can't not have a premium-like thing for an FPS these days.

Okay. I probably won't be able to pick this up in March since it'll be a pretty busy time for me so hopefully someone will have a good combo deal for the game and Premium like there was for BF4. Really hoping they do another open beta soon.

I saw on some of the patches that they required premium so I'm sure it will be there. Also I doubt there will be another beta with release 1 month out.

Was playing this past midnight PST. Beta was fun but still not sure if its $60 fun. At least I've got a month to think about it.

Well, looks like that's all she wrote.

I'm going to look at it very simply, I got 50+ hours of enjoyment out of the beta, I'm very sure I'll play another 100 easily after release, so with that I will be buying this. At this point I don't care if it's glorified DLC, a deviation from the Battlefield franchise, it's fun and I know for certain I'll get my money out of it.

There are so many songs that should've made it into this game. C'mon Uncle EA, bust open that wallet and license more music.
"Why can't we be friends", "Cisco Kid", and "Lowrider" by WAR would be amazing. "Cocaine" by Eric Clapton.. "Slow Ride" by Foghat. Ugh. It'd be so good.

This game has flaws, but it's entertaining enough. Still sore about 60 bucks tho, so I hope we can go to Mexico.

Indeed. I'm sad they didn't give it a week long extension like the first beta. Also, we didn't get to try Hostage Rescue :(.

How many game modes is the full version slated to be released with? Conquest, Heist, and Hotwire were in the current beta. What mode was in the Alpha test that required you to shovel as much cash into yourself and run for the hills?

Blood Money. Also, it wasn't an Alpha, just an earlier Beta build.


Edit: Looks like 7 modes on release. Conquest, Heist, Hotwire, Blood Money, Team Deathmatch, Rescue (Hostages to save, no respawns), and Crosshair (VIP assassination).

It's fun.

If I want to gently caress around with just/mostly infantry, I'll play Hardline. If I want to put a tank shell up someone's butt, I'll play BF4.
