Battlefield Hardline Review - What The Single Player Lacks, The Multiplayer Makes Up In Spades | COG

Battlefield Hardline features a new variety of gameplay that breaks away from the traditional Battlefield game modes. Do the changes pay off or is this more of the same old with merely a fresh coat of paint?

"What The Single Player Lacks, The Multiplayer Makes Up In Spades"

Stupid comment, all this says is that the reviewer doesnt care about the SP (which is evident in his review) as long as the MP is good the SP doesnt matter. Well I'm old school in that way, a game must have a good SP otherwise for me, its not worth it

[nowitzki2004]

So you never played BF?

[Pandamobile]

Yeah, if you're playing Battlefield for the campaign, you're not getting anywhere near the full experience.

@nowitzki2004 and Pandamobile

Im baffled as to why you guys are getting disagrees. BF games have always been an online first experience. bad company were the exceptions to that rule, but generally the campaign is just there as a little filler to get your feet wet. I been playing BF since 2142, so I know what im talking about here.

That said. Im picking it up for X1 on friday. three of my friends got it via EA access and love it. And I enjoyed the beta so, its a no brainer for me. Glad this game has delivered a solid MP FPS experience ( not that we are short of those on X1, but the more the merrier!). Which is what BF players care about. Buy a different game...like thief, if you want a story driven FPS. Thats a solid single player first person game for ya.

Bro do you even Battlefield?

[Inzo]

Is a weak SP worth paying R800? (which is equivalent to $90) I dont think so.

[slappy508]

R500 if youre buying it for PC. Considering thats what I paid for previous Battlefield's I say its worth it, and the Singleplayer is a bonus, never touched BF4's campaign so.. If you are looking for a singlplayer experience probably not. But I'd say the 64 player multiplayer has quite a draw to it if you compare it to COD, Evolve etc.
Also the exchange rate is currently around 12.00 so its actually + -$65 not $90

[Inzo]

Even if that is the current exchange rate that still puts us at R740+, but is actually closer to R800. Not all of us have PCs, I will want full value for my money and that means not only a strong MP.

Cool story bro.

[awi5951]

None of the first BF games had a real single player i bought BF 1942 on launch day and loved the crap out of it.

[Unoriginalplayer]

1942 also didn't cost $60

[awi5951]

In those days money it did. People forget games cost more in the past than now. I paid 100 dollars for several of the arcade to console conversions so that is not a excuse.
The most highly wanted games back then cost 80 dollars or more like some of the zelda games, mortal combat, street figher. We paid more than 60 dollars back in the day.

[UKmilitia]

while BF4 online is great i love a good campaign and its the first thing i do with any game.
even cod i always do the single player first.

[WellyUK]

who the hell buys BF for the single player? ... MP gives you much more replay value than a single player would any day especially on a linear FPS.

[Meltic]

Another bad BF game ?

[crusf]

Skipping this one waiting for Battlefront. Its so far from the BF formula its hilarious. You buy Battlefield to play Battlefield not Payday. They just slapped the name in for cash while DICE finishes Battlefront. I highly recommend skipping this entry and getting bloodborne if you thirsty for new games.

[dcj0524]

I'm doing the same but I do believe this is a genuine effort by visceral to make a unique battlefid. If it was another modern shooter like bf4 I would've took a looooong break from battlefield.

[LAWSON72]

I was hoping the SP would be interetsing having Visceral doing it.

[MysticStrummer]

All I was interested in was the single player, so… pass until massive price drop, but that was my plan anyway because of Bloodborne.

[WellyUK]

Yeah main reason i haven't brought this is Bloodborne next week

[dreamed]

Its £28 on the hungarian store so i thought why not.
