“Battlefield Hardline” continues to draw critical reception from both gamers and critics. In fact, when it was rolled out to the retail markets in the US in March, it came out as the best-selling video game in the country for that month, validating the rave reviews and praises that Visceral Games had gotten as a result of its work with “Battlefield Hardline.”
The game focuses on the war against crime. Unlike its military settings in past iterations of the franchise, the current game has the police Special Response Unit and criminals as the main factions of “Battlefield Hardline.”
Players have access to various military-grade weapons and vehicles including the Lenco BearCat and also get to use other standard police equipment such as lasers, pistols, and handcuffs, among others.
Game critics praised “Battlefield Hardline” for its multiplayer mode, its voice acting, and accessibility while criticizing the game’s plot, stealth, and narrative.
The first DLC combined with the subsequent patch gave players another opportunity to make a name for themselves as law enforcers in the fast-paced highly-destructible maps that are peppered with small-time criminal jobs.
After the release of “Robbery” in September, the third DLC for “Battlefield Hardline” officially titled “Getaway” will feature frantic and high-speed chases that shall immerse players deeper into the heist.
And finally, there is the fourth and last DLC which is called “Betrayal” to be rolled out early next year which shall focus on gamers finding out who the rat is in their operation, giving the game an added drama.
