Battlefield Hardline

Any Xbox 1 hardcore players on here? looking for some squad play.

Fallonious IRL You probably played against me as that's all I play on it now too. I do be on most evening too

Dudes, riddle me this.

I got Hardline via the PSN store on ps4. I bought it the day before release and thought it was just the standard edition, although 70e seemed a lot. There was no mention of bonuses for preordering when I bought it.

Logged into PS the other day and I had a message from PlayStation saying "your Hardline preorder Versatility Pack is available in game under Battlepacks"

Went to game and no such battlepacks. U don't care too much but if it includes a new gun I am all ears

Any ideas?

Hotwire seems to be the mode they want you to play 1/12 with 15k points is normal.

If KD is your thing dont play to win on hotwire.

Team deathmatches spawning in horrendous.


So in my death count.

Thoughts on the game lads?

Really enjoying it so far, just about 60 hours played (and another 40 from the beta), and it's still going strong.

Good points:
The faster pace is really enjoyable
Blood Money, Heist and Hotwire are really fun game modes.
Rescue and Crosshair are good if you have nine friends to play with - disaster in pub games though!
It's very stable for me on PC and hit reg feels tight
Map design is very good in general

Bad Points:
Gun balance is pretty bad, first patch incoming shortly though
There's a really annoying random flinch when taking fire, think it's a bug and will be removed, but it's pretty irritating.
Some of the Conquest maps are just too small for 64 players

Personally I'd recommend it, especially if you enjoyed Close Quarters or Dragons Teeth DLC from previous battlefield games.

*********************

I also just finished unlocking my first syndicate assignment ! Got the mechanics FMG9, probably the easiest to do as repair and vehicle destroyed coins are pretty easy too come by.

Not too bothered by the Operator or Enforcer syndicate guns and won't be touching the Professional one until they change the camera coin requirements - I haven't even been able to get the Mac10 yet

Sure about that?

Well they say shortly but they haven't announced a specific date yet. I wouldn't say it will be too long tho...

One major plus as well, compared to the BF4 launch, while somewhat less complicated of a game, it works pretty much as any game should out of the box.

Except for the absurd weapon balance, which appears got little to no attention at all.

My experience of hotwire so far is constantly winning with 1-0, 2-0 etc. how are you managing to die 12 times in that mode..?

By driving the car and not camping a spot. **** all you can do vs HE nades, noticed most guys with 10-1 had 2k points but the gimps like me PTFO were at 15k and top of the board.

Went up 4 levels in 3 matches, KD ratio gone to **** tho.

I might jump into this. I've been using Planetside 2 as my FPS game lately. It's good, but the lag at times becomes too much.
Where are people buying? Are the extras on the digi delux / ultimate worth it? Is there unique weapons or is everything available through unlocks anyway? (Bar the premium version with ultimate obviously).

Absolutely loving this game

was really on the fence on this. Played singleplayer Friday and regretted buying it. Put on the MP this weekend and loving it.

Also Hotwire is brilliant. Got into a police car and Ted Nugent's Stranglehold started playing - Sold!

So I tried the 32 v 32 Conquest last night for the first time, I usually play Blood Money.

Just to save confusion for others.

@MiskyBoyy... Level 142, unreal stuff!!! I think you have maxed out the amount of Hotwire gold stars you can get to.

Have had my morning joe already myself

Yeah, I got the game early and have been going ham ever since lol. Hotwire whoring all the way! Maxed out the sedan yesterday, just maxed out the coupe there now lol :rolleyes:

Yeah, noticed that!, I added ya as a friend there. If you are on, might join you for a bit of craic.

Primatori?

Yeah, tis me. Do you normally play in squads? I am on most nights with my 2 brothers. Would be good to get a squad going.

Yeah I usually play with the same ole lads in a squad alright unless I feel like lone wolfing it, but no harm to join into games together!

After having a weekend with this, it's growing on me, but really some glaring issues that need adressing quickly while the numbers are there.

No point letting this go until people stop playing it and then trying to yell loud "HEY ITS ALL GOOD COME BACK GUYS HONEST"

I've been playing mostly Hotwire, Bloodmoney and TDM.

TDM is rubbish. It's like gungame mode in CS or something. Spawns are rubbish and you die way to quick. Granted I've got into the swing of hardline and am doing fine, but it's a frustrating mode.

Bloodmoney is a good mode, it's not frantic but it's not slow either. The distances between vaults and money is a bit short on some maps, so pockets of chaos open up that make it a bit messy. But the concept is good and enjoyable.

Hotwire definitly the mode that has interested me the most and I've had most fun in. I've had some class chases being in a cap point evading people chasing me, or in a car chasing down a cap point.

When you are in a good squad it's immense. Had a few instances of good squads where we were wreaking havoc chasing down enemy points etc. The RPG is definitly ruining the mode at the moment, but removing that would be a massive, instant improvement. It's too bull**** just rushing for RPG's and then having a one shot kill, that not only kills the vehicle but racks you up multikills and points. Frustrating when happening to me, too easy whenI'm doing it to others.

Mechanic is obviously the class of choice in Hotwire, and I'm seeing very little need for any other class there. The accompanying grenade launchers are a bit weak, but actually probably right for the game mode. A well placed shot will do the damage. Get close enough and you can do just as much with a rifle. I started in Hotwire as assault and would be stopping cars with just riddling the driver, then picking off passengers.

Gunwise, some balance is definitly needed. There is no reason to go outside the M16 and M416. Once you have them for the assault classes that is pretty much it, get the unlocks you want and there is no point looking into anything else. I'd say they will be nerfed soon enough. Someone mentioned here previously they were bull**** and I didn't see an immediate problem, until I got my hands on one. Really over powered.

SMG's feel a touch too strong also from mid-long range and shotguns feel a bit muck short range, which doesn't make sense.

Recoil doesn't seem to be a thing in this game, which is odd coming from Bf4, and even playing some Bf4 inbetween Hardline sessions. Controlling burst fire, or even single tap would be a winner when it comes to rifles from mid-long range in BF4., Granted I'm a 416 lover, and good with it, I can control the recoil and groupings well over mid-long range on Bf4, it seems a piece of piss on Hardline.

Very much a case of if I see you, your dead. That wasn't the case until I unlocked the M16 or 416, where I'd get the junk on someone, and die first. TTK does seem an immediate change from BF4, where atleast you had time to react, in Hardline your dead before you knew what happened.

Vehicle handling is a bit rough and feels somewhat clunky. The side mounted HMG's on the choppers seem to be garbage. They are pretty much 50cal rounds, that take half a dozen to kill someone. A 9mm SMG can kill you flat dead in a second, yet I've to go overkill with a 50cal on infantry, makes no sense.

Using them on vehicles seems utterly pointless and a waste of time. When in reality they would not only pierce the exterior of a vehicle, but pierce the engine ( its what they are for) I'd say they could do with a little buff, considering how quickly the choppers themselves take damage, and how low they need to be flown making them susceptible to grenade launchers.

Well that's kinda my point, there is some obvious guns to use at the moment, with no reason to use others. And the recoil on the obvious choices is ridiculous.

I see no need to look past the HK416, M16 or MPX

K10: Reduce bullet damage to 33

That's still ridiculous IMO. It needs its RPM decreased as well..even with that change it'll still only take 4 bullets to kill, which, with a 1200 RPM, will take only 1/5 of a second.
