Battlefield Hardline is shaping up to be more than just another gung-ho shooter

Battlefield Hardline is shaping up to be more than just another gung-ho shooter


Back in the spring, I visited Electronic Arts to look at Battlefield Hardline, the newest iteration of the company's first-person combat franchise.

EA showed me a forgettable multiplayer map, set in an American city, in which cops and robbers chased one another and shot lots of people to death.

Battlefield Hardline was basically Battlefield, the high-tech war movie, re-imagined as Battlefield the overblown cop fantasy. It was all vaguely unimpressive.

Following negative reaction to that reveal, Battlefield Hardline was delayed so developer Visceral could work on addressing some of the concerns raised by the media and the public.
