Battlefield: Hardline

[alvarado52]

Love Battlefield but hate large engagements? Enjoyed Payday but wish it was PvP?

Looks like we have a game for you. Im gonna be all up in this.

EDIT: Youtube video removed, new video source up.

Smaller scale Battlefield? Hmm... Don't know about the studio, they don't make a damn thing I play.

But it being the interim until B5, perhaps I'll bite.

[Hanso Amore]

I dont think BF5 is going to be a DICE game sadly.

[Kalyx triaD]

It would be insane if Dice wasn't doing B5. I just don't see that happening.

[alvarado52]

apparently that leaked video is six months old (hence the 'Omaha' name). E3 supposed to be the big reveal of its current (final?) form.

Release window is slated for Fall...likely October, as usual for BF titles.

[drave]

Yea, this looks pretty damn fun. I like the different approach they took this time. The multiplayer modes (especially heist) seem like they are going to be a helluva good time. Think I'm going to pick this up.

[Hanso Amore]

It would be insane if Dice wasn't doing B5. I just don't see that happening.

With them doing Star Wars battlefront for next year, the earliest they could release a numerical Battlefield would be 2017 probably and I dont see them waiting that long.

Maybe BF5 drops in 2016 with Dice at the helm. I would hope. But if EA likes what Visceral does here I could see a change after the abortion athat was BF4

[Kalyx triaD]

Visceral simply don't have the chops to do a numbered Battlefield. It will be Dice. It will likely come out next year IF Battlefront makes it for this Fall or Spring.

[The Destroyer]

It's different, I'll give them that.

Guess "Battlefield Omaha" just didn't sound exotic enough. :shifty:

[Kalyx triaD]

I still think this should have been DLC, but I can dig that gameplay.

[Emperor Smeat]

EA states a beta for the Xbox One will be arriving in the near future although it will feature different content than the PS4 and PC betas had.

[Kalyx triaD]

Cool.

[Emperor Smeat]

Game's been delayed till early 2015 with the official reason due to feedback from the recent beta.

[alvarado52]

Open beta starts the 3rd on all platforms (http://www.battlefield.com/hardline/news/battlefield-hardline-open-beta)

[Kalyx triaD]

Great so far. Found matches and played them. Even as a beta, this is the smoothest Battlefield got up and running in a generation of games.

[Fignuts]

Really digging Hotwire.

Dunno if it's a buy for me yet, though.

[Fignuts]

Damn it. Servers not working.

[Kalyx triaD]

Been offline for a bit but I'm good for games this weekend before it ends. Hope I don't run into these server issues. It worked fine the first hour I played.

[Fignuts]

No one could get on yesterday. Haven't checked today. If it's still down, I'd hope they extend the beta.

Kalyx, you have this for One or 360?

[Fignuts]

Quick look on Gamefaqs shows that no, they are not working. Metroid Prime Trilogy it is, then.

[Kalyx triaD]

I have this on One. If it's down they extend the damn thing. Seemed short anyway.

[Fignuts]

Definitely want to play long enough to unlock the grappling hook and zipline. Heard those are a blast.

Anyway, I'll be on all weekend too, providing it comes back on. I'll also be picking up BF4 again next week. Bought premium to get all the dlc too.

[drave]

Seems okay. Feel like the majority of it could have been DLC. Grappling hook and zipline definitely add some unique mechanics for sure. Decent game, definitely not a must buy as of now.

[Fignuts]

Working again.

Get on, you fuckers

[Kalyx triaD]

Smash night. Will be on LATE night, tho.

[Fignuts]

I have Smash

[Kalyx triaD]

Offline Smash, my friend. Bud's bringing it over.

[Kalyx triaD]

Guy's not here yet. BATTLE NAO

[Fignuts]

how do I add you as a friend on wiiu

have no wiiu friends

[Fignuts]

nm

sent request

[Fignuts]

OR JUST YOU KNOW IGNORE MY FRIEND REQUEST

forever alone on wiiu

[Fignuts]

Oh, you meant play Battlefield.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh.

[Kalyx triaD]

That comeback? ALL ME.

I'll check out your request on our session's break time.

Hardline is the shit!

[Fignuts]

Don't think I was there for that comeback of yours.

Drove the big gas tanker around, for a good 5 minutes before it got blowed up. Netted me almost 3,000 points. Finished second overall. NOTE: k/d ratio of 1 kill, 10 deaths.

[Fignuts]

Can see what people mean, when they say this could have been DLC. Not that much changed. Few new gadgets, and game modes, both of which could have fit into battlefield 4 very easily.

Honestly, I think Hotwire would be better in BF4's larger maps. Can't get a good high speed chase going in these small constrictive maps. It's just going in circles, pretty much. Hopefully they have a couple larger style maps .

Not quite sold on getting this on day one yet. Will wait and see how much content there is at launch before I decide.

[Kalyx triaD]

Day one right here.

[alvarado52]

I'll get it eventually, but Evolve wins this battle.

[Disturbed316]

Haven't played a Battlefield game since Bad Company 2, was tempted by this but think I'll wait it out.

[Kalyx triaD]

Driving in circles is a blast.

[drave]

Because of explody things being fired around WHILE driving in circles, right?


Might download this again. Still have free trial access through EA Vault or whatever.

[Kalyx triaD]

May try classic Conquest later but Hotwire is great.

[Kalyx triaD]

Using the Xbox One Upload Studio for a second time. Better effects than what I used for my halo stuff, but I rather be able to add music. Still, this could work for quick compilations of clips.

[Fignuts]

Roomate bought this, so I guess I'll give it a go.

[Kalyx triaD]

Hotwire is easy cash. Rescue is actually very cool. And Conquest Small is just better than large.

[Fignuts]

Conquest Small is just better than large.

eeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh we'll see


I love my tanks.

[Kalyx triaD]

Tanks?

Son, there are no tanks.

[Fignuts]

That's what I'm saying lol

[alvarado52]

If anyone hasnt gotten the game yet and is considering taking the plunge, tomorrow BestBuy is selling this on all platforms for $40. Walmart and Target will price match this so long as you show them the ad via website.

I'll be picking it up.

[Kalyx triaD]

LET'S ALL DRIVE IN CIRCLES

[alvarado52]

Really liking Hotwire...easy way to get cash, and pretty fun just sorta driving around.

Blood money is pretty hectic.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah Blood Money is chaotic. Least fave mode.

Play Rescue.

[The Destroyer]

Got this on the cheap and absolutely fucking hated it at first. It's starting to grow on me though.

[The Destroyer]

Wait, get Premium for early access? Is this free DLC?

[Kalyx triaD]

It comes early with Premium and paid two weeks later.
