While Hardline certainly isn’t your standard Battlefield experience, the changes and tweaks present here are welcome additions, breathing new life into the franchise that’ll entice both veteran and new players alike.

Battlefield Hardline takes the franchise to a totally new level with the inclusion of "cops" and "robbers" that is pure fun!

Battlefield Hardline is a very good shooter, although it doesn't have any big innovations compared to Battlefield 4. The campaign shows a great balance between stealth and action, and the multiplayer is very deep, but it is more of the same.

The combination of the stealth-focused campaign and many multiplayer modes establishes Battlefield Hardline as a worthwhile standalone entry in the popular FPS franchise. A few of those multiplayer modes shine more than others and the cops and robbers theme fails to save the story from its dull tendencies, but the rest of the game utilizes the new setting in some smart and meaningful ways.

Hardline is a great game if considered on its own merits, but it’s not the best Battlefield game.

It’s easy to dismiss Hardline out of hands as being too far removed from Battlefield’s typical setting to be worthy of the name, but even as Visceral ride on the brands coattails, they’ve had the confidence to adapt that core gameplay to suit a new setting. That’s not just true of the multiplayer, but also the single player story and its compelling tale of drugs and police corruption.

Hardline may not revolutionize the Battlefield brand, but it fixes many of its biggest problems.

Visceral Games flees from great battlefields of the franchise to offer skirmishes where the infantry has the upper hand. Multiplayer is as tactical and enjoyable as ever, although we miss vehicles, even when we know they are not necessary in cops vs thieves scenario. The campaign is quite interesting, although it sometimes slows down a bit.

Hardline is an enjoyable Battlefield spin-off that's easy to recommend to the hardcore Battlefield set but has a few too many flaws to transcend the franchise.
