Every time DICE tries to get more casual, they, and we, end up with a near-dead game shortly after its release. I think, and hope that DICE have learned by now, that their audience is not interested in uber-casual, or really casual. That’s not the Battlefield market.

Btw, Hardline is 75% off on Origin right now. $5 for standard edition, and $20 for Ultimate edition (base game + Premium).

It is extremely disappointing to see this series get shallower, less skill based and more gimmicky with each iteration. Mass inclusion of game-assisted features, assignments and other nonsense. To add insult to injury declaring the most assisted preset as default and excluding the original altogether. Thank whoever decided to add HC.

I was about to buy Hardline at $20, but then I read the Metacritic reviews:

“This is a subtle mix of Call of Duty, Payday 2 and Battlefield. The multiplayer is like Close Quarters in BF3, which was nicely rated when it was released. The action is much more dynamic than in previous games, cause maps are smaller, not like in BF3/4 where you could camp e.g. on the mountains…”

UGH, and LOL! So, basically, Hardline has nothing to do with the Battlefield title, and is a CoD wannabe P.O.S. And that was one of the few positive player reviews.

Now I get why some Hardline players like tagammo… they’re CoD players, wanting a CoD experience. Well, Battlefield (not meaning Hardline) is not about ADHD gunplay, small maps, and tag-replenishment. It’s about sprawling environments, variable-speed gameplay (not one-speed, but both slow and fast), about class-roles, team-play, communication, etc… All the things that CoD is not about.

So, I think a Hardline / CoD-typed feature, which undermines everything that Battlefield is known to be about, and is sought for by those seeking the Battlefield experience, is best left out of an actual Battlefield title.

I thought you already knew.

That’s why I plead for this Battlefield for (almost) Everyone
