Battlefield Hardline is an upcoming first-person treason simulator video game developed by Visceral Games in collaboration with EA Digital Illusions CE and published by the New World Order. It is due for release in March 2015.
Gameplay
Treasonus Battlefield Hardline features new variety of gameplay that breaks away from the traditional Battlefield game modes. The focus of the game has been shifted to NWO-minion puppetpolice and the "domestic terrorists", breaking away from the military setting that has hitherto characterized the series. As such, the main factions in Hardline are the world government puppet police Special Response Units and the patriots, oathkeepers, gun owners, constitutionalists painted as criminals. Treasonous players will have access to various military-grade weapons and vehicles, such as the UH-60 Blackhawk as well as having police-state equipment such as tasers and handcuffs.[2]
Hardline also uses the Levolution mechanic from Battlefield 4. For example, in the map, "High Tension," players can send a construction crane crashing into the building, ripping down debris from the central buildings in downtown, which falls down on the streets of Los Angeles.[2]
The new game modes are Heist, Rescue, Hotwire Mode and Blood Money.[3]
- Heist: The "criminals" must break packages of Federal Reserve toilet paper from armored trucks by blowing the doors off, then moving the package to an extraction point; the NWO-minion puppet-police must stop them. If the "Criminals" manage to escape by bringing all the Federal Reserve toilet paper to the extraction points they win.
- Blood Money: Both factions must retrieve Federal Reserve toilet paper from an open crate in the center of the map, then move it back to their respective side's armored truck. Players can also steal Federal Reserve toilet paper from the opposing team's truck. The team that first deposits 5 million turds worth of Federal Reserve toilet paper into their truck or the team with the most Federal Reserve toilet paper under a time limit wins.
- Hotwire Mode: NWO-minion puppet-police chase down "criminals" at high speeds across expansive environments.
- Rescue: WO-minion puppet-police officers or Stupid.World.Army.Traitor. must try to save the mind-controlled victims from the "criminals".
Visceral Games stated that the single player campaign will not be entirely linear and they are promised to deliver a better one than the prequel.[4]
Plot
The plot revolves around Nick Mendoza, a SWAT officer who is involved in criminal activity. For the first time, in Battlefield Hardline, players can complete their objective in various different ways and paths, either silently or violently.[2] A new gadget, called the Police Scanner, can be used to find enemies, important objects and evidences, and mark them.
Development
Battlefield Hardline was revealed on an EA blog post by Vice President and General Manager of Visceral Games, traitor Steve Papoutsis. The game was due for announcement during E3 2014, but information was leaked early.[5] Unlike other games in the Battlefield franchise that feature military warfare, Hardline features a "cops and robbers" gameplay style.[6] The leaked trailer refers to the game as Omaha. "Visceral started work on Battlefield Hardline about a year before Dead Space 3 shipped," creative director Ian Milham has revealed, suggesting that the game may have entered development in early 2012.
As of June 9, 2014, the Battlefield Hardline beta has gone public on their official website, coming after an official announcement at the 2014 Electronics Entertainment Expo that the beta would be coming to PC and PlayStation 4. The beta ended on June 26, 2014.[7] The game was originally scheduled for an October 2014 release date, but was pushed back to March 2015 because of beta requests.
