I got around to watching some of the gameplay footage and I don’t know what it is but BF1 reminds a lot of Hardline. Maybe it is the color palette, the hud design or the soldier movement but it really seems like Hardline with a different skin. Am I crazy or did anyone else think the same? ---

the UI is almost the same ---

> [@DrVanNostrand1](#): > > the UI is almost the same The hud elements really mind me of it and especially the bright almost cartoony color palette looks a lot like Hardline. Judging by the early trailers I thought it was going to have a gritty dark looking filter especially since it is ww1. The color direction really threw me off tbh. ---

Could it have just been a sunny map? When that fog rolls in or the rain starts falling the color palette looks a lot darker and much more gritty. ---

I really don’t know why it reminds you of Hardline. Maybe because both of the games have guns in them and you shoot people, other than that I have no idea. ---

The may have used elements from other games like HL as a place holder. Just keep in mind this is Early Alpha. I would guess most of their time was spent on game play mechanics and skins for weapons, characters, vehicles, etc. Like the womans voice, I hope this was also just a place holder. And please Alpha = A, not apple. That will bug me so much hearing apple every time. ---
