Battlefield Hardline New Live Action Commercial Coming Soon

Rumor has it that a Battlefield Hardline trailer is in the works in the form of a live action commercial. Coming from a tweet from a background actor onset of an “AAA video game commercial” it has been noted that this actor is playing a part in a soon to be release video game. While that leaves the options limitless it’s the details about said commercial that forces us to believe that we will soon be seeing a Battlefield Hardline trailer emerge from the commercial filming.

Wont be surprised, they do enjoy following in COD's footsetps.

GarrusVakarian3385d ago

What's the point in live-action commercials? Does anyone actually ever get hyped from them?

I wanna see the game, not a real-life imitation of the game. I won't be buying the latter, lol.

Skate-AK3385d ago

Hate Live Action,The Evil Within one wasn't too bad though.

famoussasjohn3385d ago

They can be entertaining, like the Black Ops 2 DLC trailers called the 'The Replacers'. Anything else is just kind of meh. Would rather have gameplay shown or a beta which is supposed to be coming soon.

pompombrum3385d ago

Isn't that what EA have always specialized in though? Fancy trailers which don't accurately show the game you're playing. Then again, trailer/advertisements aside, I think a far more legit question is what's the actual point in this game? As a Battlefield fan for over 10 years, I'm shaking my head at the fools at EA who thought we fans wanted a cops and robbers Battlefield game.

InTheZoneAC3385d ago

I barely play CoD, why would I want to play a game like it?

And why would they use the battlefield name? That's a shame...

famoussasjohn3385d ago

Because they killed Medal of Honors name by attempting to be like CoD and failed miserably.

snoopgg3385d ago

I just hope this game isn't a broken mess when released.

famoussasjohn3385d ago (Edited 3385d ago )

Hopefully it's not, due to CTE for BF4, they have transferred a ton of the fixes into Hardline and have also brought over features from Hardline to BF4. BF4 is much more stable than it was when it was released, so hopefully this will be on par or better in terms of stability.

pompombrum3385d ago (Edited 3385d ago )

Still hasn't changed my non existent hype levels. Worse still, they are going to release it alongside a fairly busy end to March. This will be the first Battlefield game (minus 1942) that I won't be buying on release day and unless it gets some rave reviews from places I respect, probably won't ever both with it.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot760d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250759d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface758d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop759d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno759d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel760d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps759d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888759d ago (Edited 759d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33759d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888759d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH759d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

Ranking All The Battlefield Games

From Xfire: "With the next game being a return to the classic XX42 formula, now is as good a time as any to make an utterly definitive and in no possible way controversial ranking of the Battlefield games we've enjoyed over the years, with which undoubtedly nobody will take issue in the comment section. Right? Okay then - here we go, from least good to best."

OMNlPOTENT1030d ago

Battlefield 1 above 4 and Bad Company 2? Not a chance.

Ruegrong1030d ago

battlefield 4 was broken as shit on launch same as battlefield 3

isarai1030d ago

Bad company 2 was still my favorite, sure it was a bit gimped compared to the rest if the series but more fun and far more satisfying weapon unlocks.

XxINFERNUSxX1030d ago (Edited 1030d ago )

Battlefield 1942 + both expansions are my all time favorite, it can still be played online to this day. Vietnam would be my 2nd, 3rd Battlefield 2, last BF2142 the rest I didn't care for. They really need to remake from the ground up in the new engine BF1942. Next year it will be 20 yrs since it was released. If they don't at least to me would be a disservice. ☹

"erasing that simply reinforces toxic male privilege." I see the writer is one of those types of people...

The Life & Death of the Season Pass

In a time not too long ago, a foul infection spread its way through the games industry. It was a vile illness that burrowed itself in deep, feeding off of greed and the incessant begging of teens desperate to receive funds from their parents. It divided friend groups, suffocated player bases, and was common practice up until recently—it was the season pass.

This doesn't make a ton of sense. Season Passes may slowly fade out for multiplayer games, perhaps, but I don't see them going anywhere in games that are primarily single player. They don't seem to touch on this either, with every game being some kind of online/multiplayer/GaaS title, and nary a mention of a single player game - at least that I saw.

I mean, games like Borderlands 3 just asked people to buy in to the 2nd season pass. Battle passes can't really take over in places that have story driven content and such. So I'd say perhaps they missed a bit of a necessary distinction but, since they claim the death of season pass is at hand, it appears they may have missed how single player games factor into this entirely.
