Report – Battlefield Hardline GameStop Pre-Order Bonus Is a Real Life Police Badge

MP1st - Looks like Battlefield fans making the trip to their local GameStop to pre-order Visceral Games’ upcoming Fall shooter get a free pass to enlist in their local law enforcement division.

Well, not quite. But if you pre-order Battlefield Hardline, you do get this nifty looking police badge replica.

Is that safe? I don't really want people running around with fake police badges

[LAWSON72]

Last time I checked police badges were not smaller than a thumb

[Eldyraen]

True, but just takes that one idiot/easily fooled person to make it become news.

[AgentSmithPS4]

I'm sure someone will put it next to their penis to impress women in cam-chat.

[Eldyraen]

That's what I was thinking--just another reason for the media to pounce on anti-gaming bandwagon once someone uses it in a negative way.

I don't really see it as a big deal as people have used even cheaper fake badges to do the same stuff or just flat out bluffed their way saying they were a cop but stupidity reigns supreme so it won't necessarily help matters much either.

It is a cool replica though.

It's just a money clip.

[vallencer]

It's a money clip in the firm of a badge. Headline is just for clicks.

its quite safe .. it looks like an american police badge, they have legal citizens running around with guns & wonder why people go on rampages, so a fake tiny badge is the least of there problems.

[CaptnMorgan]

Its like a Bad Comedy skit. Want to Preorder BF: Hardline? Have a laugh with me then

[AgentSmithPS4]

Once I get that badge I'll be able to bring EA/DICE to justice for what they did to BF4!

And with that a new branch of interwebs police was born....

[Traumahawk1225]

I don't see it as a safety hazard, hell kids get to have their own police badges and toy guns. Plus like lawson72 said it does look quite small.

[Software_Lover]

........... But I'm a crook?

[kingmushroom]

awwwww Bummer.

[jr2424]

That doesn't look anything like a real badge.

Yeh this doesn't have "bad idea" written all over it.......

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Hahaha.. wonder how long until Fox News jumps on this :3

[kingmushroom]

somehow glen beck will freak out and be like video games are are teaching gamers how to be a hacking police.

[matrixman92]

BREAKING: "Game teaches children how to kill the police and steal their identity in real life" -Fox News

[jmc8888]

Yeah, this won't be abused....

Yes, probably 1000 people will do the following.

"How are you"
"I'm detective John Kimble"
"I'd like to ask you a bunch of questions and have them answered immediately"
"Such as, who is your daddy and what does he do?"

[DatDoe210]

I called my local gamestop and they do have some left. Will probably go and preorder. I think it looks cool because nowadays when you preorder, it's only digital bonuses and never anything physical.

[memots]

Hi i am the boobs police, I need to inspect to make sure its all legal

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Right size, texture and firmness :3

[memots]

THE BADGE DONT LIE !!!

[Kraftwerk]

Ladies will be all over me when I show them my Battlefield Hardline Police batch.

[MasterD919]

Or they could have given us a map-pack like they did with BF3...but whatever.
