If you ask, I will answer that there are only two in the world multiplayer FPS, Call of Duty and Battlefield. Both of them have been there since 12 years ago and almost never escape the debate about who is better. After a long series is arguably the more repetitive, Activision has finally released Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare brings new gusts. However Battlefield Hardline take this even further, they changed the theme of the war was the theme of urban crime with many new elements.
Single Player - such as Watch TV Series
Battlefield Hardline change everything you know about Battlefield. You no longer play in the inter-state warfare missions with military force, but the police fight against crime. You play as Nick Mendoza, a new detective who with colleagues, Khai, was assigned to uncover a drug syndicate in the city of Miami. You will start from the bottom of the chain, the lowest dealers to eventually handle more cases and dangerous suspects
The unique design of Battlefield Hardline is a story approach that uses the style of a television series. The story is divided into seasons and smaller again divided into episodes. For this initial release we can enjoy the first season with 10 episodes that can be attained within 8-10 hours, depending on how you choose to enjoy this game. The use of force is quite thick television series ranging from the recap before playing until the next episode preview when you stop playing. Certainly no spoiler. On the contrary, the more intriguing.
Being a detective is of course very different than being a soldier with a Rambo style that we often encounter in the series Battlefield and Call of Duty before. You used to be able to kill all the people in the headquarters by means of shooting at them directly, but here you and a small gun you must think strategically. But do not worry, a variety of new gadgets ready to help.
The first is the basic gadgets detective badge you. If you settle in behind the enemy and surprise them with a badge then they raise their hand and dropped the weapon. But of course this is not the end of your job. If you're not handcuffed, then they might try to resist you. And if you encounter too many people then these criminals will also be more daring and reckless. You can see whether they would fight or not to see the meter in their heads.
You can also be a bit of fun by way of sneaking behind them and fired shock and saw them fall without a fight. You can see the position and visibility through enemy radar so that you can plan your movements.
The second gadget is no less important is the bullet. You can throw shell into a certain direction and the nearest criminals will start walking in that direction. This shell casings could be more lethal when throwing rather than fired. This makes a new dimension to the game that is synonymous with heavy weapons and soldiers full of steroids.
Does this mean that every mission should be resolved in a way sneaked? Yes and no. Sometimes you can be mad and try to fight all the enemies there. It is not going to be easy because you're just a regular detective with a vest bullet against dozens of enemies with automatic weapons. But sometimes an episode would be too difficult to pass if you choose the path of Rambo. It's not impossible, but it would be very difficult. Personally freedom ways to complete a mission becomes a more distinct values. The developer did this fairly smoothly so I never feel forced to undergo a linear mission with no choice.
You will also be equipped with a scanner that can help you to identify the criminals. Like the Prophet nanovision belongs, here you can use a scanner to identify the evidence, determine the location of the enemy, until it detects an enemy who has a special gift (bounty). If the enemy with the bounty of this price you kill then you can say goodbye to your bonus.
In general, this new gameplay feels fresh and stale at the same time. Because the concept of the sneak and kill already widely used ranging from Assassin's Creed up to Crysis. Now Battlefield go jump with its own color. But this does not mean Battlefield Hardline flawless pass the test, there are quite a lot of disability to be honest.
Disability And Silliness
Issued a badge or ambush the enemy is nice but it feels weird if there are multiple enemies around. You can go to the enemy and shouted "Hands up!" Without disturbing other enemies that may only be 5-6 meters ahead. As long as they do not see you, then you are almost free to do whatever you want. As if the enemy does not have ears, eyes only. But this is not entirely true, because if you're running toward the enemy, they will hear you. While it does not happen with a shout. Nothing feels consistent.
Let's not forget Khai, the partner us. From time to time he will assist and accompany you in the mission, but do not expect him to work properly. You could even consider this partner is not there. It is ridiculous that you will encounter from time to time is Khai will decide that he can walk in front of the enemy without being seen and this universe seems to agree with Khai. If you walk too fast and achieve a hard place then Khai will follow without considering that he was passing the 3 enemies with weapons. But it was not a problem because the enemy also decided not to look Khai. This will not affect gameplay in addition to making you feel stupid.
Even so, I still can not take this all but a bug which is the belle of the main Battlefield Hardline. The first week of contracting multiplayer bug that prevents you to join the server. In some computers, including those that I use, even you can not play single player and was greeted with a blue circle which continues to spin.
Version of the console (PlayStation 4) that I use in this initial impression is that tasted better versions initially. Single player works normally, multiplayer too. But apparently in the middle of the game you will find a fatal bug in single player so you can not go unless you repeat the episode and perform certain steps were found to collectively by the players who stuck with the same bug.
Battlefield Hardline without any bug is on the verge of a boring game or a game that is quite okay to play. But with this bug I can not advise you to buy it now. Battlefield Hardline has some exciting new features and also some 'folly' that appear consistently. Battlefield Hardline play single player feels like a roller coaster where is the fun uphill and down steep is folly. You get a complete package alternately as long as you play this vehicle.
Multiplayer - Menggila Together
I will conclude Battlefield Hardline multiplayer experience with one word: fun. New modes like Heist, Blood Money, or Hotwire really makes multiplayer feels new and strange in a good way. For example in Heist mode you will switch roles in trying to break the bank or maintain a bank of attacks by criminals. Feels like I'm playing a movie scene directly.
Hotwire mode is also somewhat better, because you can control a variety of vehicles such as motorcycles, cars, up by helicopter. One person driving and the rest can be shelled and began to defend or seize the opponent vehicle. You can forget about shoot quickly or accurately and started a craze with your vehicle.

But one thing is starting to feel less after playing many times is cooperation. This new mode require the cooperation of a compact to make it more exciting. My question is what kind of cooperation you can get from playing online? Maybe DotA or LoL, amounting to 5 people can still be arranged, but we are talking about dozens of people here and all of them act as they wish when we have special purposes. So after trying to enjoy a multiplayer mode for hours, I finally realized that if this game wants to really enjoy so I need a compact group of friends. In my case it was something difficult to do.
But fortunately Hardline have fashion classic team deathmatch. You only need to kill the enemy, that's all. But when you're against 32 others, easily you will be killed. Thirty-two players against 32 others is a delightful chaos. If this is the way Battlefield gameplay to speed up their famous slow then they do it too extreme because not infrequently I live only to die again two seconds later. Moreover spawn point also feels unbalanced, often I find that 5 people spawn in front of my eyes and I was happy to bombard them from behind.
For business arms and specialties you'll find the typical pattern Battlefield. There are four classes that have different roles. Carriers are basically healer, Mechanic can repair damaged vehicles, or Professional with landmines and weapons away. If you've ever played a Battlefield 3 or 4 and you will not find anything really new here. Even the design of the interface was fairly similar to the previous Battlefield series.
So yes Battlefield Hardline fun. However I do not have the feeling that this is a competitive game in a professional manner. If I want to have fun then I would not hesitate to play Battlefield Hardline. But if I wanted to hone my shooting ability, studying the map, plot the movement of the enemy, and began to more seriously want to play then I will go back to Call of Duty.
Conclusion
I spent less than 10 hours to try Battlefield Hardline. I will spend more time and give my full review. I'm sure some or even a lot of things will change. But for now I do not dare give advice on buying Battlefield Hardline. DICE and Visceral need to do something with the various bugs that existed before we can really enjoy it.
Various users on the official forum Battlefield been days can not play, and although it seems this problem occurs sporadically, but my own experience. So hold on your intention to buy now and wait for the discount, or at least after they decided to fix various bugs fatal available.
