The thought had to have crossed your mind at least once...
Play Battlefield 4
long enough and at some point your mind is going to wander as you wait atop
your sniper's perch in Siege of Shanghai. Assuming you don't get knifed, you may look
down at the streets below and think to yourself...
"This would be
more fun with cop cars. Yeah, cop cars
and SWAT teams and bank robberies and cranes crashing down on innocent
bystanders. It would be just like a Die Hard movie!"
Well, if you can get past the obvious milking of a franchise,
EA may just have a way for you to live out your fantasies.
The game is called Battlefield: Hardline
and this time around the conflict is a little more local. You're either a cop or a criminal and from
there on it's pretty much textbook Battlefield.
At E3 Monday, EA showed a teaser video that featured an armored car heist with all the goodies including: assault weapons, helicopters, car (and motorcycle) chases,
ziplines and of course those levolution driven destructible environments.
The game is currently recruiting for a closed beta on the
Origin game client. However, If you want
to take a leap of faith (always a bad
idea) the pricing for the Digital Deluxe edition (5 battlepacks included) is available on pre-order for $69.99. A standard edition (2 battlepacks) will also be available but no price has been set as
of yet.
Whether the game is just another Battlefield game with cops and
robbers or a classed up Grand Theft Auto, the price is a bit steep. Hopefully the developers have learned from
the woes of its cousin Battlefield 4. The developer, Visceral, supposedly began development on
Battlefield:Hardline in early 2012.
No specific system requirements for PC have been released as
of this writing but you can expect similar requirements to Battlefield 4.
Battlefield: Hardline is due for release on October 21st on
all supported platforms including PS4, PS3, Xbox 1, Xbox 360 and PC.
