Mar 16, 2015While 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.

Mar 19, 2015While Hardline isn’t the Battlefield you may be used to it offers a unique approach that will surely please fans of the genre.

We can also recognize what little faith it has in its players to wrestle with difficult concepts, to find something meaningful and troubling behind using a digital badge and police-issued firearm in equal measure to solve our crime problems.
