Visceral Games level designer Evan Champlin detailed the destruction in the Battlefield Hardline multiplayer mode; which includes “micro destruction” and the return of Levolution.
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.
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.
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
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
if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.
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.
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
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."
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.
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...
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.
They should bring back the amount of destruction bad company 2 had for the next bf game. That would be awesome!
"Destruction is a core pillar in the Battlefield franchise and Hardline is no exception."
Yes ok the beta proved the opposite. Dust Town would have been perfect to showcase the destruction with the dozens of small buildings, the gas station and the water tower but nope. The only destructible objects on is that little levelution event at the mansion, some fences and a couple sheds. Are you kidding me? A map that small and thats all you can offer? How have we gone from completely leveled towns in Bad Company 2 which came out 5 years ago to almost nothing in Hardline with the new consoles and PC? "Oh but Chris they have an expansion that features lots of destruction, just buy that." No it should be in every map and we shouldn't have to pay just to get maps with it. I shouldn't have to pay even more money just to get the level of destruction that was in past games. Destruction was one of the reasons Bad Company 2 was praised and was so successful. 5 guys camping in a building, no problem just blow up the ground floor walls and watch them die in a collapsing building. There aren't that many games that can give you a moment like that.
Don't give me that "its cops and robbers they wouldn't be blowing up buildings" That is such a cop out if that were true then there wouldn't be police SUVs with miniguns that pop out, the cops wouldn't use high explosive grenade launchers, they wouldn't be wearing dinosaur masks and they wouldn't have a helicopter with heat seeking rockets. These things are in the game because its fun which is what destruction was in the previous games. I just don't understand why they choose to go down this path but I'm definitely not buying this at launch and I may not even pick it up until Premium edition drops to $30. Such a shame cuz it does a lot of other things well but this is a game breaker to me. Hopefully they cut out last gen consoles and ramp up the destruction in future titles.
In Battlefield 4, I was really disappointed with the destruction. After playing Bad Company on 360, I really enjoyed the destruction in that game and I taught DICE would capture a great amount of that in Battlefield 4.
Just give us Bad Company 3, we don't need Levolution, we made our own environment changes by destroying what we wanted...
This isn't a true battlefield game. It's simply a rip off.
