A look at 1 of the new maps coming out in the new 'Robbery' DLC.

I think it looks quite a lot like 'Bank Job' but I do like the look of it:

I've gone back to playing this over the last two days, now that nVidia have fixed their buggy drivers. It's certainly playing better than it was at release. But I've also gone back to playing BF4 too, and BF4 still has a better feel to it: better sounds, a better sense of rounds going places, a better pacing and TTK overall. It's still lackluster, just not depressingly so.

I loveeeeeeeee SNOWWWWWW!

The Robbery DLC is now available for all premium members. I really do love snoowwwwww

So in the vain of hte night time maps for BF4, Hardline is also getting a free mini expansion:

New weapons is a nice surprise though.

Drop the clutch, lay on the gas, and hold on to your seats, because Battlefield™ Hardline is gearing up for its fastest, most explosive expansion yet! Whether you’re making a dusty, high-speed escape across the Mexican border, or closing in on a hot pursuit along the sun-drenched Pacific coast, you’ll be chasing glory at top speed when you play Battlefield™ Hardline: Getaway*, coming January 2016.





A great getaway is key to a great heist. If you’re a criminal wheelman, your payday is dependent on your ability to evade the cops. If you drive for the law, the fastest way to earn your badge is to take down the thieves before they can escape into a cloud of dust and burnt rubber. Ready to rev your engines? Here’s what’s on deck for owners of Battlefield Hardline: Getaway…

- Four massive maps: Pacific Highway, Double Cross, Train Dodge, and Diversion
- New game mode: Capture the Bag
- 4 new vehicles
- 3 new weapons for the Mechanic Class
- One new gadget and a new melee weapon
- 4 new Legendary Camos



In addition, all Battlefield Hardline players will receive a game update that includes new weapons and patches, as well as new features we’ll talk about soon.

Makes sense I suppose given that majority of servers are still full of hotwire games for quick easy points.

Hotwire is the only game mode I enjoy in BFH

Wish they would fix the constant crashing. Post update and its still at it on Xbo.

A bit annoying I know but the trick is to launch a different game first, then launch hardline without quitting the other game. Should play away without freezing then.

MiskyBoyy

Nah, just froze at least 50 times in a row for both me (digital) & my friend (disc) trying to play new dlc. Game is well fúcked.

I can't see any point in getting this latest DLC. The last one (Robbery) was dead after a week like Criminal Activity, impossible to get any games on them now as nobody seems to play. I really like Hardline so it's frustrating to see such little online activity.

The maps I've tried from Getaway so far actually seem pretty decent. They're nicely varied and open and seem far more in the style of the older BF maps.

The only one I'm hestitant about is the flood drain one, which I only had a few seconds on, but I'm concerned it could be another Operations Locker.

I didn't like the flood drain one neither. Horrible looking map.

I've gotten sick of the COD franchise, Black Ops 3 being the last straw :P more a fan of war set in current or past times, rather than the backpack and ray gun nonsense they've leaned towards. That considered, is Battlefield 4 or Hardline a better purchase?

Largely interested in multiplayer rather than campaign, for what it's worth.

TerrorFirmer

I think about 1% of people here play campaign mode to be fair! I keep meaning to play Hardline campaign actually, I thought the BF4 campaign was pretty OK.

Hardline is good but if you haven't played either, Battlefield 4 is a much better game. Are you a PC or console gamer? BF4 is good on the XB1 and PS4 but not worth the bother on 360/ps3.

dreamers75

In the campaign you are a copper who can arrest people for mega bonus XP and tbh its really well done.........................until your faced with a room full of armed guys firing at you and you start to wonder whats the fcuking point of arresting people.

Then it gets **** really fast.

I'm PS4 myself! Think I'll give Battlefield 4 a go, can be got pretty cheap 2nd hand

TerrorFirmer

Yeah, very cheap now. Also, no need for the season pass, the base game has the best maps. I have the season pass myself but 90% of the time prefer to stick to the base maps....they're plenty of them in any case, and a first time player will knock incredible value out of the game considering how cheap it is now. I wouldn't consider myself a huge player and I got 120 hours out of it online.

Possibly the easiest question to ever answer; BF4 easily. Amazing value now... I am at over 800 hours and the game just doesn't get boring; not if you challenge yourself by using the least popular weapons, etc.

Turn on Wartapes in BC2 for an even better sound.

Odd how I recalled that
