Hands on the Battlefield Hardline Beta| First Impressions From IM PLAYIN

So here I am, having played some hours into the Beta, and I can assure you that it’s still the Battlefield we know. It’s just a little different that’s all. And hey, if you didn’t want different, you should still be playing Battlefield 4 this early in. So, if anything, it’s great to be different or there would be too many people saying, “well it’s not different enough to warrant a new game"...

Played it. Wouldnt buy it. I think the battlefield brand is sinking, which is a real pitty. Star wars is the priority, while bf gets passed about like a spliff.

zeee3756d ago

Should have been an add on

cfc833756d ago

Totally agree. 8 maps for 15.99 pounds, or 19.99 Dollars/euros.

Kailios3756d ago

Yeah Zeee, it's kinda how I feel at the moment. While it is what it is. To launch a whole game based on it? Hmm. I'm not sure how many different maps could make the experience different every time.

* Just got the invite last night.

Played one game and it isn't enough to decide if it's awesome or not but I liked the one game.

It was different but I don't understand why this couldn't have just been DLC ?

* It plays more like a specific game mode within BF4, than it's own game.

^ Not a bad thing, but I don't know if I'd pay full price for basically DLC.

venom063755d ago

Soooo many CoD fanboys on the site it aint even funny... No, this doesn't feel like a DLC, NO is doesn't feel like an expansion, YES, it's hella fun to play.. if this is a DLC, then every CoD game since MW3 sure as HELL has been a DLC (same old crappy engine, few changes).. but none of you CoD fanboys had anything to said about those game being DLC huh?? GTFO CoD fanboys..

elhebbo163756d ago

Have been playing the PC beta for about 10 hours now, Have to say that the single player has to be REALLY good because this just feels like DLC for BF4. maps are way to open, to many sneaking spots for snipers. the new gadgets are ok but besides that theres nothing in this game I havent seen before. I'm more excited for the new rainbow 6 game.

ScottyHoss3756d ago

It's on the same engine, aiming for a similar experience, of course it's going to feel the same! If that's the case battlefield 4 could have been an expansion for 3 adding levelution, if it's a full game of content that's similar to battlefield but with a little twist in theme, gamemodes and gameplay that's okay with me.

elhebbo163756d ago

no BFHL feels WAAAAYYY more similar to BF4 than BF4 to BF3. it has the the same sluggishness that was added on BF4.

ScottyHoss3755d ago

Ah I see, I'm still debating on whether or not that's a good thing :P I guess it makes it more real. How about vehicles?

ParanoidFreak3756d ago

BFH could easily have been released as $29.99 DLC. It feels just like an add-on for BF4 but will be sold as a full release game. Payday 2 hits on the cops/criminals tension better than this.

windblowsagain3756d ago

Have to disagree.

Of course it's going to feel like BF4. It's the BF4 engine and the shooting dynamics are the best there is imo.

Patch on PS4 has just made the framerate better.

Star wars ain't for me, overrated films. Not sure what the pull is.

As for SCI-FI.

I think Destiny has it locked down, for an alpha it looks sweet and runs very well. Considering it's a tiny bit of the real game.

Drithe3756d ago

Destiny destroys this. Playing alpha beta now. Glad I did to know how good it is ..... but now I regret sunday coming because I have to wait so long for game.

WTF am I doing typing here omg!!!

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.

-Foxtrot911d ago

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

gamesftw250910d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface910d ago

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

PapaBop910d 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.

Inverno910d 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

XiNatsuDragnel911d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps910d ago

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

Pudge102888910d ago (Edited 910d 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

pr33k33910d 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.

Pudge102888910d 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_D3TH910d 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."

OMNlPOTENT1182d ago

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

Ruegrong1182d ago

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

isarai1181d 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.

XxINFERNUSxX1181d ago (Edited 1181d 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.
