Talk:Battlefield Hardline

Just got it up

Just started the page, I'm waiting for the beta to drop for me so i can get some pics and gun info in here, for now the articles contain guns i've seen from trailers.

I didn't read the beta agreement but I'm pretty sure there's some sort of NDA that you'd be breaking by doing that. The Wierd It (talk) 02:28, 11 June 2014 (EDT)

Considering that people are putting up youtube videos of their beta play sessions and not getting shut down, I doubt I'll be breaking any rules. Bob juan santos (talk) 05:06, 11 June 2014 (EDT)

Is it just me or does anybody else think that this whole game just seems like a very expensive DLC for BF4? --Warejaws (talk) 12:47, 20 January 2015 (EST)

This should be interesting

I just hope there's some kind of emphasis on bringing suspects in alive, otherwise there's no point in a law enforcement theme. Spartan198 (talk) 03:02, 10 June 2014 (EDT)

Not really, from what I saw of the multiplayer gameplay, it's mostly lethal weapon engagements. You can however cuff a person when you melee them from the sides or behind, similar to knife take downs in previous games, and you do have access to a tazer. We'll see how the single player works out later though.

SP is what I'm talking about. I learned a long time ago that MP never really changes regardless of what game it is. Just about the only concept people can grasp is players running around and shooting at each other, with differences between games being largely superficial. Such a narrow-minded and objective-less focus isn't something I find all that entertaining anymore (my opinion, no offense intended) and as such I don't play MP. Spartan198 (talk) 05:47, 13 June 2014 (EDT)

Well it's a Battlefield game, change it too much and people will complain, and when changes are not enough, people are still gonna complain. Having played the beta, I'd have to say it's still pretty much the same as any Battlefield game, with new modes and maps to play with, which is a good thing in my books. Also, as with other games, shooting people is only a part of most multiplayer games, a big part yes, but most games has other things going for it other than shooting such as various team objectives. Lets face it, since most games are about shooting other people in single player, it's kind weird if the multiplayer suddenly ask you to plant flowers with each other instead. As for Hardline single player, I've seen lots of handcuffing in the trailers and the game does have a Taser, so there's that. Bob juan santos (talk) 06:24, 13 June 2014 (EDT)

Sadly this doesn't look like it's going to be another SWAT 4. Despite how well-made that game was, it seems no one wants to shoot people with beanbags/pepperballs/tear gas and arrest them again. Much too bad, really.--Mazryonh (talk) 07:32, 13 June 2014 (EDT)

You're in my way sir. But yeah, SWAT 4-style gameplay would be too radical a departure for the typical FPS fanbase that Battlefield helped build to handle. I know I struggled with it. The Wierd It (talk) 13:25, 13 June 2014 (EDT)

You could just play... you know.... SWAT4.Bob juan santos (talk) 14:42, 13 June 2014 (EDT)

I could, but SWAT 4 is, after you get the hang of its singleplayer (and the multiplayer servers are closed), a bit limited given it's being a 2006-era game. Just two of its issues are unrealistically fragile body armour and how civilian NPCs have rather predictable AI routines (real people more often freak out in these situations rather than calmly resisting or accepting arrest), which could have been addressed in a modern sequel. As for "You're in my way, sir," that's perfectly avoidable most of the time with the exception of when the dev team scripted specific mission entries to spawn the NPC allies too close to the player character during the mission spawn sequence. Still, to me it was an understandable attempt to make AI-controlled officers a bit more realistic (not many people have no qualms about their personal space being invaded for no apparent reason). Having said that, it remains one of the best games around for tactical co-op play and even tactical versus play (assuming the right server settings were used, which wasn't often, since servers allowing both SWAT and Suspects to unrealistically use all the weaponry in the game were the rule).--Mazryonh (talk) 10:41, 21 June 2014 (EDT)

But I thought Battlefield was meant to pride itself as a series on its realism? The Wierd It (talk) 10:03, 14 June 2014 (EDT)

Authenticity and technical realism, things like reloads being done correctly, +1 in the chamber, and all that good stuff. Alex T Snow (talk) 14:31, 14 June 2014 (EDT)

Been playing since Battlefield 2, not really, it looks realistic, that's about it. Bob juan santos (talk) 17:45, 14 June 2014 (EDT)

Well then I guess the legions of socially maladjusted fanboys on the internet lied to me then. The Wierd It (talk) 19:07, 14 June 2014 (EDT)

The internet has liars? Nawwwwwwwwww. To be honest it's more realistic than most mainstream shooters but less so than the likes of SWAT or ARMA or older Rainbow 6. Bob juan santos (talk) 21:03, 14 June 2014 (EDT)

This is it for now.

As of right now all the firearms in beta, as far as I know, have been added to this article. I'll update the article when the game comes out though I don't know when I'll be getting the game just yet. For now, enjoy. Bob juan santos (talk) 05:26, 17 June 2014 (EDT)

"MG36" G36E/KV Hybrid

The MG36 section got edited again, and apparently it's a G36KV. It's not a G36KV either, the G36KV has only 4 hole vents while the in-game G36 has 6 hole vents on the handguard. I presume it's a G36E with the G36KV carry handle

Cut/Hidden weapons

I've seen a few videos on Youtube that show weapons hidden in the beta's code. Most of them seem near-finished, bar the odd missing texture or reload sound. Should we add them to the page? I mean, we've added cut weapons to pages before and it's certain they'll be in the final product (unless they're just leftovers from porting features over from Battlefield 3 or 4, of course). --Gunmaster2011 (talk) 12:26, 18 June 2014 (EDT)

I think that can be done. Also I think those guns are probably going to be used in the full release so yeah, include them, after they are available we can add further informations. --James Dalcan

Great! I'll add the video I saw so we know where to start. You can do that, right? I hope so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUXjYQmKQus --Gunmaster2011 (talk) 19:25, 18 June 2014 (EDT)

Sure, I'll add the informations based on the video. Thanks for the sharing. --James Dalcan

I think the 93R is just a 92FS with extended barrel and a fore grip. It should be moved under the 92FS section, your call. Bob juan santos (talk) 09:24, 19 June 2014 (EDT)

Yes, It's a 92FS, I specified that on the image info. I didn't include it under the 92FS section because I included it as "Hidden gun". --James Dalcan

I think this is perhaps the first game I've ever played that featured an 8 shot .357 Revolver compared to other games that just slap in a .357 caliber Desert Eagle. It really shows the uniqueness of the weapons their choosing, although I hope some of the names like the L96A1 are merely placeholders, I could imagine the L96 being renamed to the AWP or something along those lines. Here's hoping Draco122 (talk) 14:10, 24 June 2014 (EDT)

Ah yes, the S&W 327 makes it first appearance in videogames in this battlefield set. But again, Battlefield is going straight down in terms of guns realism, but I guess this hope can be still there until the full release. --James Dalcan

By gun realism I hope you mean Hardline specifically, and almost all the errors seem to exist because so many things are placeholders anyway. Alex T Snow (talk) 17:06, 24 June 2014 (EDT)

Yes, I'm talking about Hardline. Not that the previous title didn't get some errors, especially Battlefield 4 which has considerably ammount of them. --James Dalcan

Content from BF3/4

There's an interesting blend of the two. Most of the game seems to be based on BF3, with a bunch of BF4 details brought over, which makes sense given when it was being developed. The weapons are like this too, for example the 93R is BF3's 93R: a 92FS with the foregrip, muzzle brake, visible extended magazine, and the player actually uses the grip, but the BF4 93R is just a 92FS with the grip, which isn't even used. Hardline uses the much better BF3 version. Alex T Snow (talk) 18:36, 18 June 2014 (EDT)

I'm seeing a lot of this as well, to include strange modifications. I added some commentary on the M16A3's minor additions - not all for the better either! Keep in mind though, that many of these things are placeholders - they could very well have a brand new 93R made for the game (and it just didn't make it to the first beta build).--mk12mod0

Fixes to certain guns?

I'm not playing the beta, but I did see a weapon showcase video uploaded very recently and it would appear that the fire rates of the Uzi and AKM have both been reduced to the correct 600RPM. The G36C's fire rate hasn't yet changed, though. I haven't edited the page yet, as I don't know if the chambering of those guns, or the closed-bolt nature of the Uzi have been corrected. As I'm not in the beta, could someone clarify? Also, it should perhaps be noted that the pistols have their slides manually released, like in Medal of Honor 2010's singleplayer. --MSKyuuni

The beta is over so it's better wait for the full release to add or modify further informations --James Dalcan

Okay then. Like I said, I've not played it so I didn't know it was over. ----MSKyuuni

New trailer from gamescom

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk34yU1BGiU&list=UUvNBXWGykQrWb7kPAn5eLUQ

The only new weapon I see here is the MP5K, maybe someone with better eyes than me will be able to find more. Bob juan santos (talk) 22:45, 13 August 2014 (EDT)

I see the Taurus .44, Galil ACE 21, and possible G17's in the beginning sequence. The AKS74U and the M249E3 SAW were in the Hostage video as well.AgentGumby (talk) 16:12, 14 August 2014 (EDT)

New Hotwire mode trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOABuPJtGmg

I think I saw a really short barreled AR, a Serbu super shorty, and what seems to be the grease gun at 1:23. Bob juan santos (talk) 02:38, 19 September 2014 (EDT)

The grease gun is actually Swedish m/45 9mm submachine gun. Curious choice, as the weapon only saw limited usage through US special forces during the Vietnam conflict. Perhaps it's meant to be standing in for it's American version, M76, though that would still be a very mind boggling weapon choice. Were there any notable criminal usages of the gun in question, or did they just wanted to add another local Swedish gun into the game? --BeloglaviSup (talk) 05:10, 19 September 2014 (EDT)

Probably a nod to DICE Sweden as it's not actually them making the game, it's Visceral Games. Alex T Snow (talk) 15:01, 19 September 2014 (EDT)

Open Beta

Open beta starts February 3rd, and I believe there are a lot of new weapons. From some older videos I remember at least Heavy Counter Assault Rifle - HCAR - (a modernized Browning Automatic Rifle), and a Double Barreled Shotgun, which is basically same as the Sawed-off Shotgun before sawing, Desert Eagle in .50AE (7 + 1 mag capacity), HK51, SCAR-H and DSA SA58 OSW. I'll put it on DL and see if I can take a few screenshots. --CnC Fin (talk) 16:52, 2 February 2015 (EST)
