Battlefield Hardline has better destruction than Battlefield 2042

- Battlefield Hardline was underrated.
If I had more time I would've made a more comprehensive video detailing everything that Battlefield 2042 downgraded from old Battlefield titles. Since around 2015 there has been a shift in DICE with a distinct lack of respect for the roots of the series for which they are making games for. EA Star Wars Battlefront was the beginning of the decline for DICE, producing games that beared little similarities to the original games from which they got their names. The irony is that Pandemic Studios' Star Wars Battlefront games were inspired by Battlefield so when we got game that was so devoid of meaningful gameplay & content and had replaced classic Battlefield/Battlefront mechanics with dumbed down simplistic, restrictive and downright insulting gameplay design this came to a big surprise to everyone. DICE would continue this trend with successive games in the Battlefront & Battlefield franchise mired by awful design and product decisions and it culminated with the disaster that was Battlefield 2042 a game so riddled with bugs, performance issues, downgraded & missing features and an identity crisis that strayed far from the Battlefield it should've been.
I wanted Battlefield 2042 to succeed with the long awaited return to a modern setting that crazy sandbox all out warfare with Rendezooks we loved from Battlefield 3&4 and the semblance of the ability to pseudo mod the game through Battlefield Portal. The hype up until the release of this game was astronomical. Never have I ever had my hopes driven so high only to have it be absolutely buried.
Cons:
-No offline mode with bots even in solo mode which requires a persistent internet connection which is prone to lag & disconnects.
-Not being able to host portal experiences due to quota being exceeded. Allow us to host our own servers then.
-The dismantling of the core DNA of battlefield replacing the traditional class system with specialists which removes all semblance of teamplay and gadget choice.
-Removal of the key features such as a scoreboard, no All chat & a server browser for All out Warfare to name a few.
-A lot of jank still present from the beta such as the inability to rebind keys, missing ui, and poor netcode, rubberbanding & hit registration.
-40-70 fps on a top of the line PC with a RTX 3080 even with DLSS enabled it is very uncharacteristic for a Frostbite title.
Pros:
-You can do a RendeZook which is really cool.
-You can launch vehicles which is really cool.
-Portal had a tonne of potential but ended up being neglected and poorly executed.
If there’s one thing DICE can learn it’s that you don’t need to reinvent the wheel every time you develop a new Battlefield game. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Stick to the pillars of what has allowed your game to survive 20 for years now.

I don’t understand why battlefield seemed to slowly tone down the destruction. I loved being inside a house and just have people slowly chip away and collapse the building. It shows how they have no idea what they’re doing with battlefield
From what I remember hearing. They felt that players used destruction in a way that was not to their liking. As it changed how maps flowed. Which I think is all my fault lol. BC2 I would always run explosive pouch (2x) with a shottie and just run around blowing up all the cover from the spawn point to the MComs. So many trees... So many. I really should have gotten a lumberjack dogtag
I think all games should have destructive environments and all that by now. Picture perfect graphics you can't play with might as well just call the ps5 a ps3 3.0
I mean the most destructive battlefield was BFV. You can blow up small trees and bushes and houses . Bfv was so underrated but had the worst launch with bugs. Too sad they didn’t make bfv with realistic clothes and weapons or atleast make a realistic mode.
BfV could be 100 times better if they included aircraft carriers, battleships, submarine , destroyers, torpedo boats and planes, and the eastern front and popular maps like omaha and normandy beach and midway. All of that was in their first bf 1942. So many lost potential because bfv had really good destructive mechanics and weapons mechanics is so phenomenal.
Have you seen the finalists? Most of the staff of the last bf games works now in embark.
I already wondered why most of the assets in bf2042 are basically quite assets. They just don't have the knowledge and team to build on the destruction Foundation, nor use it.
maybe the NEW devs cant handle destruction
A battlefield game about cops vs criminals had better destruction mechanics than a battlefield game about the world in a chaotic all out war
Come play BF Hardline join us!!!! best multiplayer ever on pc !!!

@@TheSpinner7 no
I don't think it's that they couldn't do it, or just straight up downgraded the game. I think it has more to do with balance issues, and trying to create good maps with a certain flow and amount of cover, and if players could destroy and rearrange all that stuff in a million different ways, it could be cool/fun, but lead to an overall worse experience for map balance and spawns.
It's not that they couldn't do it, but they would have to change a lot of the terrain to have indestructible cover, and still have building and shit, and it would be hard to balance for everything destroyed and nothing destroyed at the same time, depending on how people played that round.
I don't think they COULDN'T do it, I just think they didn't want to put the extra investment of resources and man hours into doing that for a bunch of maps. They probably figured the investment wasn't worth the return. And it definitely wouldn't have been with all the other issues besides destruction that gave made the game review poorly.
@@srtxm_2601 yes
My best memory of BF Hardline is spotting the donuts when playing as the cops on that level... The voice acting is great.
"I've got eyes on some donuts!"
"Delicious donuts spotted!"
Yep
Siege of Shanghai from BF4 has genuinely interesting map design when you consider how the main levolution changes the flow of the game so drastically. One of Battlefield's biggest mistakes was toning down levolutions
too bad that map sucked. the skyscraper destruction was epic
@@sodawater5316 I thought it was alright though it probably was mostly just because of the spectacle and massive feeling of invading or defending a sprawling skyline.
Battlefield 1 had good levolutions. Many destructible buildings. BFV had the same for a couple maps but missed potential with a lot of the buildings in most maps. BF2042 is when they decided "fuck it. make it like COD and have barely any levolutions at all."
Hardline is so underrated. Visceral’s first BF game and they made some great maps and unique modes. Good campaign too. Better job on their first game than DICE did with 2042, and Visceral only had about 100 people - 50 working on DLC maps!
And then EA shit canned them almost immediately while DICE continues to exist and make fuckup after fuckup.
“Good campaign too” haha
It is criminally underrated. It’s the most fun I’ve had in the past 5 battlefield games. They even did great cosmetics. They did the best vehicle spawn system. Even had vehicle upgrades to spawn rpg in the trunk in place of an upgrade.
Best feature of all you could toggle other people’s customization off and on :) I’d pay $100 alone for that in modern warfare 2
Fr Lowkey a sequel would be dope
@@bw_l560 1000x better than bf1 and bfv. but it's just for me because i am somehow allergic to sjw crap.
I remember people complaining about the scripted levolution events, but you can't deny how a lot of these look damn cinematic. Really adds to the immersion.
I think that works ok the first time but after many times I would prefer to see different events when I destroy something
Also way easier on people’s systems when it’s pre-rendered I imagine
Ppl hate anything that is fun, just want to kill, kill, kill & prove how good they are.
Why would anyone hate that wtf
@@Adriano_446 a Scripted vs natural debate I imagine
What made Hardlines destruction even better is that the characters would react to it, even your boss would. For example the laundry mat with the oil tanker, if you blow up the tanker not only does it open a new entrance but if you’re the criminals someone on the radio will literally say “Holy shit the tanker just blew up!” There’s more examples of people reacting to destruction. It’s way more noticeable with the Criminal factions just cause they’re a lot more expressive while the cops will react with less amazement and more professional.
Yeah I loved that feature and it gets me excited when I hear them call it out and see it in real time
And that’s why I love battlefield its huge attention to detail
Someone casually moving containers round when there’s a war going in underneath them. I admire that man’s dedication to his job.
The Singapore Port in 2042 was totally automated, there's no one moving them
Must've gotten a pretty good overtime wage.
Shit, man stil needs to put food on the table haha
I wish people gave Hardline a chance.
I loved the cops-and-robbers action movie vibes the game gave me.
People were so quick to jump on the band wagon of "I don't want to play a cops and robbers battlefield game" that they were unwilling to even try the game, to me battlefield is big maps, destructable environments, intense gunfights, unique gadgets, plenty of attachments and a laughable experience with fun and epic moments. Bf hardline is all of those things and all the battlefield games since are missing some of those things if not most of them.
@@CptnRumbeard so basically war but without depression and PTSD
The gunplay while inside the vehicles might be the best of any fps game ever even though people just rode around with rpgs and repair tools lol. Driving mechanics were alright
It was fun and still a bf game
@@CptnRumbeard closest thing we got to BF3 in terms of modes, weapons, customization, maps, dog tags etc. It's one of the best BF games.
I refuse to believe that BF2042 is anything more than an pre-alpha release. That tower crane collapse is fucking awesome.
Yea that guy is right, levelution doesn't really make up for actual destruction and neither does 2042s lack of destruction, bc2 and bf3 have better destruction than both games. But 2042 is ok for now, lack of destruction doesn't take away from the experience or constantly repeat the same shit over and over
That tower crane was in the beta as well...
Or exposure the landslide could happen halfway through and change the hole battlefield even if its clunky it would still be amazing
@@Snake75055 no
@James G guy is delusional, he said the crane tower collapse is better than entire 2042, yet when hardline came out everyone was still on bf4, in fact this guy wasn't even there, just bot activity. 🙄
hardline was such an amazing game and had such a wild scale for a cops and robbers game, I really wish it got more love than it did when it came out.
come play on pc, i was same made the mistake that i thought it wasn't ask good, now i see clearly and play it everyday!!!
@@Alina-gz1zp is it more popular on pc?
I absolutely loved all the maps in Hardline, every single one of them!
Come play it again on pc, mp is sick, join us ABCH server very active!!!
I still say hardline is the most underappreciated shooter ever made. From its modes to its maps to its gunplay, nothing else comes close. Its a shame its dead on PC.
i had loads of fun playing hardline on PC. The modes were awesome. The zipline is such an awesome gadget to use.
Yea I thought I would find some matches but not a Single soul
Hardline is pretty dogshit tho
People hated it because it was confused mess of themes. Which game are you going to be? A game about drug cartels or a gang about bank robbers? The campaign is supposed to set the tone for the game, multiplayer is meant to use some of these locations to make you feel like you're playing as soldiers from a different perspective (or at least that's how it was back in the old Killzone days). The campaign was a cliche filled cop drama that is neither original, funny, or has strong writing. The AI and level design didn't help much either as some would just walk straight through a wall at launch and friendlies were just as useless. The mission with a tank? Jank. The helicopter hitting the zipline? Brain damage. Driving? Jank. Continuity means nothing to Visceral since you could still arrest people even when you're not a cop anymore. Everytime you attempt an arrest, it's the same exact scenario even when you're fighting against Florida hoods or mercenaries. Finding evidence doesn't mean shit since it's neither interesting or inciteful into the lore of Hardline, which minus well be nonexistent. You can see betrayal coming from a mile away too. The ending is another cliff hanger that doesn't really resolve anything.
Multiplayer wasn't much better. While BF4's weapon variety can seem shallow considering the meta is too strong for certain classes and pistols all feel the same, but at least we had that variety and each gun could be utilized as well as any meta weapon. BFHardline had the exact same issue that 2042 did at launch where the weapon variety was lacking and some guns were locked off to certain factions until you bought the guns...why bother implementing faction weapons then? The faction lines? Forget it, not as good as past Battlefields while we're on the topic. Modes were bad, the new modes like Hotwire and Extraction made absolutely no sense. Drive a car around the map all day to gain points? That screams XP farmi- oh wait, it was exploited to hell. Extraction? The VIP can extract super fast, and the enemies can't even keep up. The maps are just chunks taken straight from conquest maps just like how BF4 did it. Nobody liked it when DICE ruined Rush, so why did Visceral (who had a part in creating the Bad Company spinoff series) decide to follow in DICE's footsteps? Because fuck you, release this 1 year after BF4's horrible launch. Bloodmoney was okay, but that's it, that's the only new mode on offer for people interested in the cops n' robbers game...excuse me? We're back to BF4's awful business model where Battlelog is required to play on PC and the games on console were set to different resolution scales which didn't really help the players who already thought that the game looked worse than BF4. While I'm not aware of how well the map design played out because I never bought the game, the modes had an issue with RPG Battlepickups being too powerful against vehicle objectives. The mechanics that carry over from campaign to multiplayer don't fit with the fast paced gameplay considering you'll rarely ever use the tazer unless your name is Ravic. We still considered levolution in this game as a joke compared to BF4, then again levolution was seen as a gimic to some's eyes, especially to the hardcore fans who were used to the legacy game's destruction. I see why destruction is limited, but that again tells me that Visceral forgot how to make maps that compensated for the BC2 level of destruction.
Never played the campaign but multiplayer in Hardline was amazing. It felt like CoD on steroids - fast paced action, with destructible enviroment, vehicles and mid sized maps, so that you’re always close to the action and don’t have to run for 5 mins without seeing a single enemy. BF1 kinda has a similar pacing as Hardline I would say.
Imagine, 3 big game developers worked on 2042 and we got this
We got a mediocre fps, but not a Battlefield
Not even a campaign
Plebs have no self control or discernment. Shit game comes out pleb buys. Plebs would rather cash in on a shit game than boycott and destroy sales FORCING the creator of said product to re evaluate and reassess their poor business plan. I haven’t touched these cash cow companies since COD3 or BF4. I saw a clip of 2042 and almost laughed at what battlefield has turned into. Just stop buying shitty games people. Lmao.
It's called money laundering.
diversity hires!
I will admit, I really miss these map events. They were just awesome to do. I remember playing BF4 and shooting at the tower one time in a tank, and I remember seeing people lining up on the shores, waiting for it to come down, just watching. Both allies and enemies, just letting me do it. And every time, it was so awesome to watch. Then BF1 came out, and it scaled down the destruction, likely because there really wasn't much to destroy in that game while staying accurate to the times, so it gets a pass. Plus it was still both beautiful and terrifying watching a Behemoth go down in that game
Battlefield 4 blew my mind: so awesome graphics yet lots of destructible environments, for me was the peak of the series
That first nade in the first clip felt like:
"Here, better destruction, watch!" *Stares in disbeliev as the nade just bounces down*
"That was planned, here watch!"
xD
I was skeptical about Battlefield Hardline after playing the beta. But man I spent over 300 hours on that game. can honestly say I loved that game. Blood money, and hot wire were awesome.
Hotwire was the best. They managed to actually make good car chase gameplay in a multiplayer game. Always felt like an action movie
@@ravivandersalm4586 agreed. I miss it to be honest.
@@ravivandersalm4586 Nothing like shooting a rpg at car full of guys hauling ass!

@@salty_superspreader3647 The fuck are you capitalizing every word for?
Idk if you can still do it but can you still destroy the huge rocket on one of the maps anymore or did they remove that with the map rework
Wish I had gotten a chance to play the additional maps for Hardline, I've never seen half the content that was added to that game.
That is so true, i have the premium version on ps4 for years and i never been able to play a single map out of being the only one there to actually just see it and they were having such a good ideas there, nope its just a bank map, nothing else this point, makes you even wonder when every other month the game costs like 2 packs of smokes at best
Paid dlc instead of battle passes for cosmetics. Everyone hates in the new format of loot crates and all that but hey i don’t mind cause that usually means free maps and updates
@@chickenmcfly2133 I'd much prefer the decision to buy which expansion I see best fit for my taste, and the option to buy premium which would cover all.
It's a shame they went away with the old format.
Bought those maps, and liked them quite a lot, but not many people played them. So… did not enjoy them much :/
@@AlexanderRoseTz I've seen quite a bit of gameplay of just a handful, they seemed quite fun..however the game seemed to already be on it's deathbed.
I played this game so often. For me it was the best Battlefield.
For me too. Too bad it had the reputation of dlc before it even comes out and it didn't help it released lacking content.
Best Battlefield game since BF3. Soooooooo underrated it’s not even funny. This game was way ahead of its time.
The netcode was 👌
Then go Prone
I still play it, it's on gamepass if you have it, I also have it for the ps4 but no longer have the ps4 so
1. Hardline's destruction is amazing. 2. Incredible how you can fuck up this much as a game developer and evolve backwards
I personally didn’t play hardline back in the day, and I play a lot of Bf titles,but this alone makes me want to check it out. Destruction details have always made the games more immersive.
Noob, hardline is the best lol
It's still sort of alive on Xbox I've tried it and it's fun.
It needs to be a series it’s to awesome to have it die
Wish hardline could get revived
I really enjoyed Hardline. Sucks it died so quickly.

Unfortunately I don't think it would look anything like how it does in this game
Join us on the mp on pc, Hardline is the best!!!
The amount of flying shrapnel could wipe out every soldier on that block
Hotwire on the crane level driving under it while it was collapsing was peak battlefield experiences
I got to play Hardline's open beta and I appreciated the game at the time. Regardless the context and setting of the game, the actual gameplay was super fun. I wish I wasn't a kid back then and have had money to purchase the game
It was a great game but honestly I had so much fun during the beta. That Dust Bowl map is one of my favorites so I liked just playing it over and over.
Battlefield 4 blew me away with the amount of levolution it had, seeing the skyscraper fall down during the beta was awesome! I loved to find all of the new levolutions whenever a new map dropped as well.
Then Battlefield Hardline beta released, and seeing the crane coming down was just as awesome as seeing the skyscraper going down in BF4, unfortunately the rest of the levolutions on the other maps weren't as good but they were still decent in a way which changed the map greatly...
Then Battlefield 1 released, and I didn't see much map changing destruction, but I just chalked it up to it being WW1, there isn't exactly a huge skyscraper or crane you could just bring down... However, the behemoth being destroyed was pretty awesome.
I never played Battlefield V, just too bad of a launch... still haven't played it to this day.
Then there's BF 2042, where the only "levolution" is how bad their sales were. Oh, and also a tiny radio tower falling off a rooftop where theres 6 BTRs camping on top of. Did I mention you also have to capture the rooftop they're camping on top of or else you lose the game? And also a rocket taking off.... ooooo so crazy, I would rather be on the rocket fighting in space than fighting in one of the most open Battlefield maps that makes Golmud look like a joke. (Also the rocket gets destroyed but it literally just adds a few pieces of cover near the launch site... nothing else.)
BFV destruction is literally the same as BF1 destruction theres nothing special going on about it except for the bridges which you can build and destroy it over and over again. even when they dropped the pacific update theres nothing special about the levolution in the game
I dunno… I used to kill people by shooting the building out from under them in BF1 with the anti tank gun.
@@JustDataReviewsdestruction like that will always be apart of battlefield (at least it was up until 2042) I was talking about destruction events that changes the flow of the map.
@@romanbellic9580 you mean levolution?
@@romanbellic9580 Never really liked the levolutions as it usually made the maps worse to play on imo.

THANK YOU YO OMFG, I've been waiting for the days that ppl truly realize how underrated and underappreciated Battlefield Hardline was, even if the campaign didn't please everyone. I still remember when I got this in the afternoon that began spring break, I was beyond excited and poured hours upon hours into this game. It was truly the first Battlefield I felt I had to try and unlock anything and everything, putting it down and picking it back up felt like a whole new experience every time. I'll truly truly miss those days and wish a player base would appear and revive this game a bit:(
Man I remember playing Hardline with my brother and his mates and just blowing up everything because we all found it fun. Jokingly we all got Battlefield 2042 and I guess that was the reason we all went back to Hardline again.
One of the best things about the bf games was the destruction. You could totally change the landscape and level buildings. This really needs to make a speedy comeback. You cant even take a tree down anymore.
Most underrated Battlefield out there, has features that future battlefield still fail to replicate to this day and was most importantly fun and not taking itself too seriously, I hope that this game somehow gets revived

Crane collapsing, containers flying all over the place, sky scrapers falling down. All that chaos and destruction! That is the reason why I enjoyed Battlefield so much.
I remember the 300 knockout being my all times favorite sniper rifle in any fps
I would kill to get that feeling with a weapon again
I was also so fucking proud to get it because of the endless tasks and newbies would see you in amazement and pick up your loadout whenever they had a chance lol
I miss that
I remember seeing a video about the new destruction that'll be developed in and for Battlefield 2042; they never implemented anything like it.
I wish they did stat transfer for old consoles to the new consoles for bfh, like they did for bf4. I unlocked everything including all the Easter egg weapons
That last clip looked like a Lego building being broken and then sounded like it near the end I swear
I remember the destructions being one of the big selling points over cod (in a sense of the maps being more interractable) now look whats left of if

Hardliners and underrated gem. Sure it didn’t have a strong launch but those that actually gave it a chance actually enjoyed it.
Some people gave BF 2042 a chance and enjoyed it. Most people play crappy mobile games. Not sure what the argument is.
@@jamaly77 The point is that often times when an actual not bad game comes out it will receive criticism despite no one playing it. No one really bought Hardline because at the time it was "the thing" to just not like it since it wasnt a military war game. But if you did buy it, it was actually a fun and well made game, unlike BF2042. i tried 2042, and unlike Hardline, 2042 was actually HYPED UP, people were ready to buy it and were disappointed with what they got.
Levelution was the coolest feature peaking in bad company 2

facts
Yeah but in hardline and the rest of old BFs, they are scripted. We should have gotten realistic physics with 2042 and instead we got guys with weightless and recoilles weapons; super advancaded guns then am I right? Yeah but a 50 cal cant even scratch a concrete roadblock, and missiles and explosive aint sh1 to the buildings, made in WeWereNuttingToFemboysWhileMakingThisGameium, the most durable element in the universe (the windows also btw). Oh and cant forget about the fact that the soldiers' equipment is also so futuristic (even if its the same from 22 years before apparently) that it nullifies the laws of physics and makes all your equipment lighter, so you can do moon jumps!

Dude I've spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours on Downtown and this is the very first time I'm seeing the crane going down. I only remember hearing it from the garage as I'm capping from inside the elevator :)) And yes, Hardline was absolutely underrated. I had such a blast playing it despite it's many flaws.
They tried to substitute that tornado for levelution and it just isn’t even close. The tornado makes the game worse and it’s constantly happening.
I like them but they should have been an addition not a replacement.
Look into The Finals, new game by the good ex-DICE/Battlefield devs that has full map destruction. Literally everything can be destroyed. Its in alpha, should release by end of this year or early next year.
I’m still in awe when seeing that crane come down. I rush to that side of the map to se it collapse
To be fair the special effects are super cinematic in 2042. With the particle physics and what not.
Of course Hardline has better destruction. 2042 is a half-assed sham of a game created by a studio bereft of talent and vision. DICE died when all of their talent left during BFV.
Bf2042 doesnt have campaign because they want to give us best multiplayer experience lmao

Obviously got scam.
The old devs have big 🧠
dude i might be wrong, but that might be the smartest move they did on hardline, where the crane drop is actually an animated event! not a realtime engine physics or simulation, i bet that crane only fall into that specific building and leaves same destruction, but thats understandable since its lightest way to do it in multiplayer games without messing any player bandwidth, it just normal animation with amazing sense of scale they put into motion
Hardline not only influenced the next battlefields but the devs went back and updated bf4 with the features hardline implemented.
Getting ammo by interacting with support players
Minimap visual of the objective area.
You can't get ammo off of support players by using a button like in BFV. I can't even do that for BF1 either.
@@troypowers750 BF1 had the objective areas outlined on the mini map. 2042 is missing core features.
@@Johnsmithhjoe point is, not every Battlefield actually had returning features. I don't even think BF4 had anything that Hardline had. The spawn timer for vehicles? Not in BF4. Stealing ammo from support players? Not in BF4. BF4 already had the outline of the objective since launch I think. While I'd love to talk about the very little good that Hardline did, I think you should erase the whole BF4 thing unless you can tell me otherwise.
@@Johnsmithhjoe fine, but not the ammo thing.
BFH isn't a bad game
Man I love hard-line. A very underrated game.
1:59
Looks like an "it was at this moment he knew, he fucked up" moment but the rock passes through your head harmlessly.
1:45 that was like a action movie scene
Hardline was legitimately my favourite battlefield. It did something different and was underrated.
beautiful. hardline, my 2nd or 3rd fav bf. the best campaign out of the lot, I've finished it dozens of times. i think i love bf2142 the most as its lore was simply the most inventive, than bf vietnam as one of my uncles was conscripted into vietnam and anything vietnam war holds a special place in my heart
BF3 had the best campaign dude... Come on
The container on the crane is a moving part of the map. It's not supposed to be blown up, it's supposed to be stood on.
Battlefield Hardline was a great game, and nobody denied that back then. It was just that it shipped with 7 gamemodes and 9 maps. None of the gamemodes were infinitely replayable. They were really fun, but there just wasnt enough content there. I really wish that game had done really well. I liked it a lot.
I got so into hardline for a while, the game has some really fun mechanics and great verticality in maps
Come play again on pc, join me!!!!
Well you could definitely say hardline has the best levoultion compared to 2042 which barely has none of it cause DICE even said they aren't adding any levoultion for 2042 except for knocking down a couple of things like on the map kaleidoscope that you see in this video
Levolution yes. But 2042 does not even have normal destruction
Not sure why every comparison of 2042 always ignores the rocket launch and explosion
@@SkarKing5 it's scripted explosion. Almost everything else on this map is indestructible
@@czesiek77PL the examples in hardline shown in this video were scripted too🤨
@@SkarKing5 no. You can make the crane go down by blowing up the wires. The rocket in 2042 blows up randomly with no player interaction
Para mi Battlefield Hardline es juegazo lastima que duro poco! sigue siendo un gran juego
I started on BF3 and then BF4 was one of the first games I played nonstop with my friends. Hardline became one of the first games I truly grinded on. Blood money was so unique and fun and so were the other game modes. The maps were unique and it was a good game. People shit on it and it doesn’t deserve that.
Hardline was underrated but people didn't like it cause time to kill was faster than others and you couldn't turn around to kill the guy who shot you first so people hated it for that reason I loved it when playing beta
People hated it because it was confused mess of themes. Which game are you going to be? A game about drug cartels or a gang about bank robbers? The campaign is supposed to set the tone for the game, multiplayer is meant to use some of these locations to make you feel like you're playing as soldiers from a different perspective (or at least that's how it was back in the old Killzone days). The campaign was a cliche filled cop drama that is neither original, funny, or has strong writing. The AI and level design didn't help much either as some would just walk straight through a wall at launch and friendlies were just as useless. The mission with a tank? Jank. The helicopter hitting the zipline? Brain damage. Driving? Jank. Continuity means nothing to Visceral since you could still arrest people even when you're not a cop anymore. Everytime you attempt an arrest, it's the same exact scenario even when you're fighting against Florida hoods or mercenaries. Finding evidence doesn't mean shit since it's neither interesting or inciteful into the lore of Hardline, which minus well be nonexistent. You can see betrayal coming from a mile away too. The ending is another cliff hanger that doesn't really resolve anything.
Multiplayer wasn't much better. While BF4's weapon variety can seem shallow considering the meta is too strong for certain classes and pistols all feel the same, but at least we had that variety and each gun could be utilized as well as any meta weapon. BFHardline had the exact same issue that 2042 did at launch where the weapon variety was lacking and some guns were locked off to certain factions until you bought the guns...why bother implementing faction weapons then? The faction lines? Forget it, not as good as past Battlefields while we're on the topic. Modes were bad, the new modes like Hotwire and Extraction made absolutely no sense. Drive a car around the map all day to gain points? That screams XP farmi- oh wait, it was exploited to hell. Extraction? The VIP can extract super fast, and the enemies can't even keep up. The maps are just chunks taken straight from conquest maps just like how BF4 did it. Nobody liked it when DICE ruined Rush, so why did Visceral (who had a part in creating the Bad Company spinoff series) decide to follow in DICE's footsteps? Because fuck you, release this 1 year after BF4's horrible launch. Bloodmoney was okay, but that's it, that's the only new mode on offer for people interested in the cops n' robbers game...excuse me? We're back to BF4's awful business model where Battlelog is required to play on PC and the games on console were set to different resolution scales which didn't really help the players who already thought that the game looked worse than BF4. While I'm not aware of how well the map design played out because I never bought the game, the modes had an issue with RPG Battlepickups being too powerful against vehicle objectives. The mechanics that carry over from campaign to multiplayer don't fit with the fast paced gameplay considering you'll rarely ever use the tazer unless your name is Ravic. We still considered levolution in this game as a joke compared to BF4, then again levolution was seen as a gimic to some's eyes, especially to the hardcore fans who were used to the legacy game's destruction. I see why destruction is limited, but that again tells me that Visceral forgot how to make maps that compensated for the BC2 level of destruction.
@@troypowers750 oh I only played the beta loved the gun play in it but knew people wouldnt play due to the amount of people complaining about time to kill and saying it was not fare they couldn't get a chance to turn around to kill someone shooting them in the back. Seen that in the comments of beta videos so that and the fact there was better games to get at the time I never played it lol
@@esmokebaby :)
0:56 by 2042 shipment container will be indestructible
Bro... that crane levolution *rules* i always loved bf hardline, still one of my favorites
1:59 That was a pretty good screamer guys
Hardline was so underrated !!!! I used to have so much fun with that game , remastered or a next gen update would be awesome for hardline !
0:08 I don't know why but that sound reminds me of The Rock eyebrow meme.
I didn't even notice most of the destruction in 2042 other than the breaking of buildings.
Yeah I loved hardline. Great guns and the tickets were 500 in tdm great place for all out war. Solid and underrated entry.
man, Hardline is such an underrated game
i took the time to play on one of the only two remaining European servers that, happen to be the only two servers with players in the entire game. and, my god I had a blast.
running around with the inquisition sword and all. if they added the game to the new UI like it was planned i feel like it wouldnt have died out. is still using battlelog
things used to be dynamic when they broke or were destroyed Now, it's like everything was replaced with a single animation that doesn't vary depending on how the item was destroyed or damaged.
Bruh the classic grenade laucher sound got me
Hardline was my 2nd fav battlefield game behind bad company 2. Criminally underrated game. The graphics were so nice at the time
Hardline is top notch, can u come play again on ABCH server or others pls do, like me i play everyday!!!😍
1:50 this scene 🔥 the best destruction I have ever seen in battlefield series
It's funny you'd think older games would be like 2042 due to graphics card limits but it's the opposite so they can't even blame it on performance issues it's either they got really bored and had no motivation to make cool destruction or they were rushed making it impossible to finish anything entirely.
BFH is my all time favorite battlefield and i prefer it over every other entry, i was a cod kid, the cops n robbers aspect was such a cool and unheard of thing
~thanos~
Talvez fuí demasiado duro contigo hardline
I really miss hardline ,
I use to play it since the beta until the servers got empty in ps4 especially hotwire
I still remember in bf1. When we try to att a house. We can blow up a hole and go in
I blame the marketing for Hardline, it was sold to me as Battlefields attempt at a Call of Duty game, never realized there was work put into it. I like 3, 4 & 1 though
I almost forgot about the cars in this game. With the rpgs in the back. Whoop whoop
Hardline the most harshly treated BF
Dead before it had a chance
Imo nothing but great memories blood money and rush and the car one
Wish they would do a reboot
