Battlefield Hardline (PC, PS3/4, 360/One)

I continue to think this sounds great. I especially am interested in the last two modes below:

But wait: there's more. Rescue is "a cop-centric mode that lets you step into the boots of a SWAT operative tasked with saving innocent lives from the hands of criminals. Lead your team carefully into dangerous environments and get the hostages back to safety. Be careful though, because there are no second chances in this mode". Crosshair, meanwhile, is the criminal flipside of the above, putting you in the shoes of a bunch of wrong'uns trying to murder a witness before he can testify against them.

720p on Xbox One, 900p on PS4, GREAT on PC.

That's pretty terrible for the consoles (particularly the X1) considering how many SDK updates there have been and the fact that this game had delays.

Should anything be a surprise after BF4?

Played some of the Beta last night, tried Hotwire mode, wasn't a fan. You lower the tickets by killing dudes but mostly by driving cars? Not even to certain destinations, just driving the cars for extended periods of time without being killed. So it just becomes a game of get in the car and drive in circles till someone kills you. Sometimes you can spawn in a helicopter while you try and shoot the cars. The actual shooting felt really off, but I haven't played a BF since 3 so I'm not sure if that's how it's "supposed" to feel. There are other modes to try in the Beta, but I don't want to.

I installed this last night, so I am going to give it a whirl tonight. I'm more interested in the SWAT and assassinations, so I hope those are in the beta.

This game looks like shit.

Battlefront needs to deliver.

I really did not like this beta. Can't get into the new game modes, vehicles rubber band all over no matter the server, it's pretty ugly, and it generally doesn't seem to offer anything BF4 doesn't (I think BF4 is a legitimately great game these days). Big ol pass.

I only played the Dustbowl arena so it was more like the usual Battlefield open area stuff but I didn't like it either.

Plus the graphics just looked chunky as hell so unless it gets some massive upgrade between now and it's release (which is highly unlikely) it's not going to be a good looking game. The only possible saving grace could be the episodic cop show style campaign since that looks kind of cool but given that it's using the same engine it still brings any interest for that down again.

Say what you will about the actual BF games, but being based off BF and coming out over a year later, how does this game suck so much?
