Sneaking up on up to three targets will give a “Freeze” prompt that will let you flash your badge and make the criminals drop their weapons and reach for the sky.
Also in your arsenal is your shiny Miami PD badge. Anyway, you’re given these seemingly minor armaments and expected to handle situations that a detective might find themselves in. Seriously, on the Hardline difficult, I use that little zapper more than any gun. To address that truth, the player starts off with a standard issue pistol and a surprisingly useful taser. Things like RPGs and M249 machine guns didn’t really seem like the kind of thing in the arsenal of a Vice detective. One of my major concerns about this game was that Battlefield players have gotten used to some pretty extreme armaments while dispatching bad guys. I’d rather not give any of the important story aspects away for now, so I’ll just focus on the gameplay. It’s a bit odd to see in a Battlefield game, but I gotta say it really works for them and I can see it being really useful for people that can only play some of the story at a time. The campaign is set up almost as though it’s a television show, with each mission being an Episode and each episode even having a “Last time on Hardline” and “Next time” cut scene. Being a true boy scout, Nick is almost immediately at odds morally with his partner, veteran Vice Detective Stoddard. Right off the bat it seems like Nick shouldn’t be there, and sure enough you are soon sent three years into the past where we meet a seemingly new detective who gives the player the sense that he actually wants to make a difference. The story mode puts you into the shoes orange jumpsuit wearing former Miami detective Nicholas Mendoza. As I do with all games, I dove into the single player first and to my surprise, I was kinda enjoying it. After pre-downloading the game on my Xbox One, I was ready to go at 12:01 on Tuesday. I knew I was going to still get Hardline because I’m a big fan of Battlefield and shooters as a whole, but my hopes weren’t nearly as high as the last few installments of the series. The gameplay was sound, sure, but the visuals were a bit lacking and I still wasn’t sold on the whole Cops vs Robbers thing. When the last beta finished up and I had time to collect my thoughts on what I’d just played, I was honestly a bit disappointed. All this and more in the newest installment of the Battlefield franchise, Battlefield: Hardline.
