Other new modes like Hotwire are fun, but a little unbalanced. Heists are a cops versus criminals affair, where cops are trying to protect two vaults and criminals are attempting to steal packages and deliver them to a drop point. The changes to multiplayer with new modes make it more team-based than before. The end is open, leaving room for a sequel. Some episodes are stronger or weaker than others and it takes a few episodes before the game really ramps up. It is possible to unlock weapons by picking them up, but the best ones are found using this evidence collection mechanic.īattlefield Hardlines' story is good. Mendoza also has a scanner that can find evidence throughout the campaign which allows you to unlock new weapons. There is a leveling system that unlocks new weapon attachments. This focus on realistic policing does mean that you don't have access to grenades at any point through the campaign. One of the big additions to the single player mode is the ability to arrest enemies. Conquest and team deathmatch modes are still available, but these have much smaller maps than Battlefield 4, leading to more close quarter battles. These matches feature small groups of teams with different objectives like robbing a bank, stealing cars, or collecting money. Rather than the massive 64-a-side skirmishes of Battlefield 4, Hardline has new modes like Heists, Hotwire, and Blood Money. Each episode varies in length, but the overall feel of the single player campaign is much more cohesive than previous Battlefield titles. Over ten episodes, you live as Nicholas Mendoza, Miami Police detective. This is helped by a cast of recognizable actors who play the various main roles. With a single player campaign that plays out like a TV mini-series, Hardline creates characters with more depth than the usual shooter stereotypes. This new setting shows off locations not seen before in the franchise. Instead of going overseas again, Battlefield Hardline takes place in Miami, Florida.

Developed by Visceral Games, known for Dead Space, Hardline is pushing a better story with deeper characters than have previously been in the franchise. Battlefield Hardline is an attempt to move the first-person shooter series away from a military setting by shifting the action to downtown Miami and the fight against crime.
