First expansion pack
Visceral Games launched the first expansion pack of “Battlefield Hardline” on June 16 officially titled “Criminal Activity.”
“Criminal Activity” is the first of four DLCs that the game developer has lined up for release before “Battlefield Hardline” turns one year in March of 2016.
The new content came with a new game mode, several new maps and new weapons which gave all the right reasons to gamers and fans to be happy about the game and the developer for releasing an update that soon.
However, there have been reports from some gamers on the PlayStation 4 who purchased “Battlefield Hardline” Ultimate Edition that they cannot access the DLC a few days after it was released, notes Polygon.
The gamers posted their complaints on the game’s forum site and claimed that they can download the DLC alright, but the main game does not recognize the installation.
However, gamers who own the “Battlefield Hardline” Deluxe Edition on all platforms have no problems at all with the DLC. This comes as a surprise since the Ultimate Edition is priced nearly twice as much as the Deluxe Edition.
But a member of the development team from the game development company immediately addressed the concerns of gamers by saying that they are already looking at all the digital version of the game on the PS4 to ensure that everyone can download the “Battlefield Hardline” DLC just fine and install it and subsequent updates on their consoles with no hassle.
Less than two weeks after the release of the game’s first DLC, the update to the game called Patch 1.03 was released across all gaming platforms.
The latest update added a couple of wonderful things to the “Criminal Activity” DLC including a new game mode, new maps, as well as several weapons for gamers to choose and use while playing the expansion pack.
Patch 1.03 also contained several bug fixes and solutions to some technical issues that were seen to be plaguing the “Criminal Activity” DLC. It was also meant to improve the gameplay of gamers for “Criminal Activity.”
