Especially now as they pretty much reskinned hardline into bf1.
I do miss the game and it is one of the best battlefield games they’ve released.
You guys still playing? I see wheel man still posts, not sure about anyone else.
Still playing it and intend to play it until there’s no servers to play heist. It’s one of the most fun MP games I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing.
Been here since March 2015 (or before so if you count the OB). Still here March 2017.
Still playing my usual modes (Hotwire/Blood Money/Conquest).
This and BF1 are the only BF games that I’m playing at the moment. Stopped BF4 because I got bored with it, and stopped playing BF3 because…I don’t know. I should probably play some BF3 again today. I sorely miss that game. 
Because it wasn’t a military battlefield, and there weren’t any tanks and Jets for people to camp in. Other than that I don’t know. They sure missed out on the best battlefield game.
I enjoyed it. Don’t play anymore as none of my friends play other things now.
Players still do camp in the attack chopper and the SUV. Those two vehicles are abused the most by campers. As for the different theme, people are used to military shooters. The FPS market is flooded with them.
I think people just are not used to cops vs criminals FPSers yet, and I think for it to be a continuing theme in the BF series, it still needs some tweaking (and a lot of getting used to by the community).
Though I believe some other reasons why Hardline did not do so well is because of some of the design choices made by the devs. Destruction was put at a minimum, graphics were downgraded, and some odd gameplay choices were made (including the attack chopper, certain gadgets that when used do not benefit the team, and some questionable assignments).
But again, despite those issues, I still have enjoyed the game. I’m not much of a graphics person, and the lack of destruction (though irritating it isn’t in BFH) can be worked around with some good teamplay and tactics.
You just hate whatever’s current you hipster.
Despite this you play f***ing overwatch
Who are you talking about?
I don’t see any hate, unless you’re talking about OP saying BF1 (being the current BF) is a reskin of BFH.
I don’t agree with the reskin part, but there are things that Hardline did or started that are features or changes in BF1 as well. Probably why OP would think such a thing about BF1.
Some of those features or changes are:
- Class gadgets were moved to another class (BF1’s repair tool and dynamite, and Hardline’s satellite phone).
- Flags have a capture radius visible on the minimap.
- Not sure if this really has anything to do with BF1, but the CR Operator on Hardline has a needle to revive teammates. BF1 has something similar for the Medic class.
- War bonds let you buy weapons.
- Vehicles that don’t have armor take damage from small arms fire.
- Classes have their own class-specific weapons.
- BF1 has a different theme that we’re not used to seeing.
I play it sometimes when I get tired of bf1, I do not believe the game is dead just because of the great community hardline has on the PS4 and XB1. They need to keep it up too if we are ever gonna get an update for it. I enjoy hardline btw. Cops and Criminal was a great idea from dice. Something to get away from the military BS once in a while. Please dice just please do something for the currently hardline so that the game can survive a little longer!
That is one thing that cracked me up…all the hate on Hardline, yet they port everything every one hated over to BF1 and suddenly it’s the greatest idea ever.
If anything, BF1 is more CoD-ish than Hardline by a large margin.
This is objectively a good game, my previous dislike stems from it being CPU intensive; I would have 120 fps but controls would lag. Going to Skylake fixed most of my smoothness problems (playing on PC). BF1 runs better than Hardline.
The driving around the map, the fact that some guns are useless and unabalanced is the problem
I’m still playing 
Most of the other forum regulars during the battlelog days are no longer here lol
Yup…only 5 or so that I can remember are still here. Oh, how the times have changed.
I remember when the Hardline forums were full of threads, and when several people would discuss them rather than the same few people on here today. Now we see the same threads on page 1 for days, with maybe 1 or 2 new ones popping up every now and then.
I can’t think of anything to talk about at this point. I’m tweeting at Visceral my opinions and suggestions. I don’t see a reason to post my thoughts on gun balance here or socialize.
I don’t see any of them online either ? I think bf1 has killed most people off my brother won’t play any bf game because of it
I can’t think of any point to discussing this game period since Visceral walked off the earth 15 months ago
I think what really hurt BF1 was the most recent Spring update which if I recall changed the netcode so that basically you need to play in your own regional server. I can still play with no trouble, but some people can’t. Some don’t even have their own regional server. It also sucks for people who would like to play with/against friends who live in a different region, so that didn’t help the BF1 playerbase either.
Though what is bothering me about BF1 is that it feels like the DLCs are coming out much, much slower than usual. If I remember correctly, the first DLC came out about 2 months ago, and rumors are that the second DLC isn’t coming out until late summer (like around August or September). That has to be the longest wait between one DLC and another in any BF game that I’ve played.
I just got into it after wasting 4 months playing BF1 / BF4. I absolutely love Hardline. It feels more realistic, quicker TTK, and an actual reaction when you shoot people (not like BF1 where if you shoot someone they just stand there like nothing is happening and shoot back after being hit 5 times already). I currently make YouTube commentary vids on Hardline.
I fixed it for you
