Sound's promising and listening to fan's who want to play the game as got to be a good thing!!.

Yi-Long3475d ago

Actually, I hate all the different weapons, load-outs, perks, etc etc.

I really wish Battlefield would just go back to simple basic Conquest with set classes and load-outs, no perks, just completely skill-based and well balanced.

Like Battlefield 2 and 1943. Just Conquest. No tricks.

urwifeminder3475d ago

Could not agree more well said .

mhunterjr3475d ago (Edited 3475d ago )

The biggest issue with this title is tying it to Battlefield. If they aren't going to stick to that identity why tie it to the franchise? It just leads to brand dilution. The tie-in won't help this games recognition or the strength of the battlefield franchise. It's a lose-lose.

venom063475d ago

Hell yeah it sounds promising!! Can't wait to play this one.. New studio, new spin off to a great franchise

husomc3475d ago

Battlefield Hardline looks like it's set to be a massive fail. Dice should re discover their roots

caseh3475d ago

The concept itself is pretty good, they just need to avoid it feeling like BF4 with different objectives and it will probably be quite successful.

Chard3475d ago

Hardline isn't being made by DICE

pompous3475d ago

They are only doing this because of the backlash they got from BF4 and they are afraid to repeat BF4 launch. I'm skipping this title because how BF4 was handled and because this isn't even a true BF game. It's a spin-off taking the BF name to artificially boost it's sales, but EA needs to have that yearly rotations of shooters.

Dirtnapstor3475d ago

They've been making some changes to remove the BF clone look and feel. I hope it pans out. From what I've read, the changes thus far were a no-brainer and were things that should have been there from the start. Especially for a cops and robbers game.
Aside from notoriety's sake, not sure why the Battlefield name is even there.

skulz73475d ago

Just give us Bad Company 3.

It disgusts me how they can give a cops and robbers game the "battlefield" name.

What scares me more is that they said they would love it to turn into a franchise within battlefield.

Real shame. Battlefield is going down the CoD route.

ChronoJoe3475d ago

I think they just need to make sure its a distinctly different game from the regular battlefield titles. People aren't going to be happy with reskinned BF4 so viceral have a lot to do if they want to make it feel different.

One of the smallest changes that might have an impact would be to change the hud. I hate seeing a hud that's virtually the same as BF4 / BF3.

Ghost_Nappa3475d ago

Between the mcc, cod aw, and evolve, can't see myself even renting this game. Besides, I'm still enjoying bf4.

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.

-Foxtrot758d ago

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

gamesftw250757d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface757d ago

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

PapaBop757d 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.

Inverno757d 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

XiNatsuDragnel758d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps757d ago

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

Pudge102888757d ago (Edited 757d 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

pr33k33757d 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.

Pudge102888757d 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_D3TH757d 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."

OMNlPOTENT1028d ago

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

Ruegrong1028d ago

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

isarai1028d 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.

XxINFERNUSxX1028d ago (Edited 1028d 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.
