Visceral Games Talks 'Battlefield Hardline' Accessibility and Map Destruction

For a franchise like Battlefield, destruction has always been an aspect of the game that most fans adore. Being able to level buildings and dynamically change a map is quite a unique feeling, but how far will we be seeing the destruction go in Battlefield Hardline?

Ok I can see there point about Cops and Robbers not destroying entire cities so in BF5 we better be getting an insane amount of destruction. Its amazing how the destruction is better in Bad Company 2 and it came out 5 years ago. It was awesome to see a beautiful village at the start of the game totally destroyed by the end. They need to bring back debris falling from buildings kills, collapse kills and show it in the kill feed. It should say "Team 1 (Destruction) Team 2" like they used to now its either KILLED or you dont get credit at all.

The destruction in Bad Company 2 was better because 90% of maps were the made up of the same 8 structures.

The destruction in 3 and 4 is much more refined than it was back in BFBC2, and the maps also have a ton more variety than BFBC2's did. Making better visually better destruction takes a lot of man-power, and making more abundant destructible environments makes the maps extremely hard to balance.

There's still gonna be trade-offs made for Battlefield 5 in the destruction department.

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.

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

isarai1029d 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.

XxINFERNUSxX1029d ago (Edited 1029d 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...

Looks very promising........and hopefully, very terrifying.

MrBelasco1222d ago

I miss Dead Space so much that I began another play through last night. Aside from some graphical improvements this game was innovative and well ahead of its time.

1nsomniac1222d ago

The games set in the PlayerUnknown universe... is that supposed to be a joke?

I thought this was a proper new Dead Space. I mean the trailer is even an engineer with the green light meter on his back. What’s going on?
