Battlefield Hardline BETA Thoughts? Rants?

AngryBrute · February 03, 2015, 08:14:00 PM

Well this BETA to the new Battlefield is out again... Have you played it? Thoughts? Hatred spewing rants?

Its like any other Battlefield to me, but with a Cops and Robbers spin. It feels similar, but yet more "Heatish" like the movie Heat. Customization seems to rely on currency you earn rather than just unlocks. Battlepacks are back, and all of these are leading me to believe we may see Mobile game Microtransactions again... YAY!!!

I have hardly any hope for the Campaign, obviously... Id still say its worth a good romp and then move on.

Its Battlefield 4 with police cars, nothing to see here folks.

Played the last beta. Was eh about it. Currently downloading this beta.

Battlefield, where cops use RPGs and level cities to stop robbers who stole $500k.

g💚jira · February 03, 2015, 08:20:23 PM

I still haven't accepted that it's a serious game with actual money being put behind it

Comet · February 03, 2015, 08:20:39 PM

Another shit Battlefield beta as usual.

big sponge · February 03, 2015, 08:22:36 PM

I might try it out since it's free.

RadicalClass32 · February 03, 2015, 09:07:10 PM

It's BF4 with a Cops'n'Robbers skin.

There really is nothing else to say.

I feel like it shouldn't be called a Battlefield game and rather be it's own IP.

Spoiler

Though I haven't actually played it yet. I've seen some videos from it.

RomanGladiator · February 03, 2015, 10:23:04 PM

The movement feels so clunky...am I the only one that feels that way? BF4 felt smoother. Hotwire was fun, conquest was frustrating. Only played one match of Heist.

CK97 · February 03, 2015, 10:25:14 PM

Watched my brother play it for a bit. Looks exactly like a "Cops 'n Robbers" skin for BF4 like others have said.

🂿 · February 03, 2015, 11:04:48 PM

Downloading it right now.

Naoto · February 03, 2015, 11:45:25 PM

Didn't even care enough to try it. BF4 is $14 right now on psn. Can't be bothered.

Hey guys, the banks being robbed.

Better deploy enough firepower to flatten a mountain range to stop them.

LAPD in a nutshell

It was stupid. Firstly because it ran like absolute balls on my rig. Around 12fps @ 1080p even though I can run BF4 at around 90fps on the same resolution.

Also, the premise is still balls. Normal police running around with RPGs and attack helicopters doesn't make any sense. SWAT/GIGN/GSG9-type police would fit in better than Officer Friendly and Company.

Sounds good to me

Runs like garbage. I have a 770 and on High preset and Ultra preset I'm getting micro-stuttering galore. Also the game modes are really boring and it just feels like Battlefield 3.2. BF4 felt like BF 3.1. Definitely not getting this game.

The game doesn't offer anything of value to me and the niche it fills is already filled by games that are already out. The game is boring and uninspired and feels like a what would be one of those mods someone makes for a game that people play for a day and then turn off because of it lacking any sense of fun.

🂿 · February 04, 2015, 03:04:41 AM

So I played it.... Wow..... What a piece of shit.

Such a fucking downgrade of a franchise.

Battlefield 3 >> Battelel 4

gats · February 04, 2015, 07:54:32 AM

the performance is terrible, it's bearable when playing it in windowed mode but go full screen and it's like digital ebola

Sprungli · February 04, 2015, 02:04:12 PM

What's that? You guys can't run a shitty beta on your supposedly god-tier PCs?

The game itself is solid and fun, shitty netcode as usual, movement and guns have been seemingly totally revamped and btw-heavy weapons are not loadouts, they are map pickups-so there is no OP firepower in the slightest. It feels more like GTA V fps than BF4 really

If there are people with high end gpus having problems running the game then it's not the pc communities fault it's the developers.

Septy · February 04, 2015, 10:39:13 PM

That"s the developer's fault, not the computer's fault, genius.

Shut up

I actually enjoy this beta, and I feel like it somewhat improves on BF4's grievous mistakes and flaws. Yes, it is a cops and robbers reskin, but just feels and looks better than BF4.

Funniest thing was in game chat, someone was actually bitching about not being able to see in a fucking sandstorm
