Battlefield Franchise Megathread V1 - 'Hardline is still DLC' Edition - Games

[QUOTE=seba079;47060561]Looks cool, even if the robbers' weapons are a bit strange (M240? M416?)[/QUOTE] The M240 is a battlepickup, same with the MG36 & RPG so, the cops/SWAT/whatever can also access to them (cops with RPG seems, stupid)

Not that strange if you compare it to Payday 2 [editline]2nd February 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=AdrianTheShep;47060881]The M240 is a battlepickup, same with the MG36 & RPG so, the cops/SWAT/whatever can also access to them (cops with RPG seems, stupid)[/QUOTE] Oh thats better

Heads up folks, the Beta will be available for pre-load from 7PM CET today (1PM EST for those too lazy to covert it)

So in about 20 mins, counting GMT?

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;47061261]So in about 20 mins, counting GMT?[/QUOTE] Yeah

No classes tomorrow so I know what I'm doing. So for the PS4, I just wait for them to release the beta on the playstation store?

Nothing too special, just a neat birdshot: [video=youtube;Nc7jzahhUlM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc7jzahhUlM[/video] [editline]2nd February 2015[/editline] the related videos i dont even: [t]http://puu.sh/fozD9/38c65fa504.jpg[/t]

How long is the beta for Hardline going on? I don't wanna spend time downloading a huge file only to be deleting it in a week when the beta is over. That's a lot of bandwidth.

The more I look at Hardline, the more things like the maps and animations look really unpolished to me: [video=youtube;0BRCKbiWcIo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BRCKbiWcIo[/video]

Like, a lot of those weapons look like they have blank white spec maps with no detailing whatsoever-- and the fact that some maps are (supposedly) almost entirely destructible while others have unobtanium picket fences makes me hope that this really is a [I]beta[/I] and not a demo.

,First impressions of the beta: this game is awful. Doesn't look that great weapons are crazy unbalanced map design isn't very good animations are unpolished and just ugly sound design makes every gun sound like it's shooting peas concept of the gameplay is quite silly and takes away from the gameplay: example being all the vehicles having some bassy rap music blasting constantly, it's hilarious and annoying classes are unbalanced with the weapon loadouts given classes are useless with the money concept etc. the only things i find this game does better than BF3/BF4 is the optimization is good and the concept of some of the game modes is cool, although not pulled off well at all. this feels like a free to play BF game to be honest with how ridiculous it is and how unpolished it is

so i started to download BF:H from 6:50am, and now its 1:30pm [IMG]http://puu.sh/fpK0L/4e8b7c81ac.jpg[/IMG] thanks EA, or Microsoft for making a fucked up sleep mode my speed in the morning is above 1MB/s

The beta runs until the 8th this month, that's less than 3 weeks time. The fuck are they going to change in that amount of time? This is BF4 Beta all over again, what you're playing is what you'll be buying. It's a marketing demo they slap the word Beta on so they can hide behind any flaws and bugs as an excuse

wow the only playable map in this game is the bank job, i got some decent framerates on semi low/medium settings also loving the dust bowl's sandstorm

Hardline actually runs better than BF4 for me, tho it still has the whole "crash to desktop every 10 minutes". Anybody ells have that happening to them?

Well its still not up for download yet on the Playstation store it seems for those in the US. I think it's just up for UK/EU and AUS right now

[QUOTE=Eldariub;47067535]Hardline actually runs better than BF4 for me, tho it still has the whole "crash to desktop every 10 minutes". Anybody ells have that happening to them?[/QUOTE] I didnt crash at the moment, but im having some pathetic time with the shitty "buy with money" system, you have to buy EVERYTHING, guns, gadgets, boosts, melee weapons, unlocks, attachments, it has the potential to be pay2win if they implement "buy money ingame with real cash" The helos feels to have the same physics than bf3, same with the parachute while you see someone in the killcam, you can see like, through the props models, so you can see the entire map broken/glitched engineer class is useless as fuck (due the levolution in most maps is so insignificant) Heist mode is a sniper paradise (just as i expected, because is similar to rush), the only fun mode is still conquest Snipers are somehow OP, it does insta kill in any part of the body at any range, but i think its the UI/HUD problem from BF4 all over again which makes them look OP the only thing i liked of the entire game was when went into a police car and it started to play in the radio "Killing Joke - The Death & Resurrection Show" beginning, i was like [B]THIS IS MY FUCKING MOMENTUM, HERE I COME......[/B], then it switched to a generic garbage rap and [B]it ruined my entire game[/B]

BFHL has jump bonuses for dirtbikes, goty

Hotwire is damn good, also radio is nice touch.

Just played the beta for half an hour on Xbox one. Vehicles handle fucking horribly, hit detection is a joke, sound design is laughable (random gunfire sounds play and people near you shout "HOLY SHIT, THEY'RE ON THE ROOF!") and the graphics are terrible as well as the animations. I don't expect flawless animation from Battlefield by far (it's always about the gameplay and the spectacle of being right in the thick of it), but I was sat on a roof over the road from a bank that was covered in pidgeons. At least a dozen of them, each had three frames of animation to show head bobbing and they may as well have been inky-coloured wedges of cheese for all the detail that was put into them.

The M870 sound will forever ring in my ears

Seems like whoever's handling development for Hardliners just doesn't have as good of a grasp over the Frostbyte engine as DICE Sweden.

I'm really enjoying the beta. Wish it wasn't $60

Has anyone else got performance issues? I play on 60 fps for about 15 seconds, then it drops to 15-20, only to go back up to 60 a couple of seconds after.

It's like they've learned nothing. Hitboxes and Tickrate are still terrible.

For me it is: Gameplay feels like CoD on steroids, everything is super fast (mostly movement) and TTK is ridiculously low. There is no breathing room. Graphics makes me feel like I'm playing BF4, I know, it's the same damn engine, but everything including interface screams BF4 at me... I think I will pass. Won't deny, I had some fun with it, but it's not enough to justify it being a separate game, it doesn't feel different enough.
