The Sun is now. Hardline. The BF4 clone. The mass-produced without soul. The dahingeschlonzte BF. The BF, which has simultaneously managed to be a clone of its predecessor, but still not a "real" Battlefield. The game at which somehow nothing is true, right?
Rather not. Battlefield Hardline is a very good game, it takes place in every respect better than BF3 or BF4 and it also comes much ready to market. It is an all around good game, it was only the victims Crybaby-S *** storm mentality that nowadays the gamer scene characterizes so. Far Cry 4 traff this hatred recently, watchdogs before and before that, it was AC: Black Flag. In general, the great Satan is always Ubisoft or EA. I do not deny that there are problems with both companies, but the lack of differentiation, and the herd mentality of this "criticism" shock me. I thought, here we are a little further. For this purpose, I find it very amusing that tirades of "long-established" players (I've been playing 10 years) to hear the swearing that but everything was better. The image of a 90-year-old old man forces himself on me with this, the protests that it still gave more buns for 10 Pfennig in his time ....
But let's get to the game:
Graphic
I'm not the biggest graphics expert and also do not consider myself too long so on. The graph of Hardline stands BF4 from loose, the scenarios convince by great atmosphere and good design. What pleases me: The effect overkill from BF4 is history, where every hit on metal a shower of sparks produced, the sight took a particularly short distance to the target.
Gameplay
In a word: great!
Let us first take up arms. In Battlefield 4, the creaking as my Airsoftkniften, barely recoil, all were so easy to control, very clean and precise Hardline makes you feel (especially with de, awesome weapons sound, which I wish I could turn up the shot noise sepparat. "Heat" would greet) to have real guns on the screen. The weapons have more or less heavy recoil and forgiven noticeably at sustained fire. The ball speed must always be observed, especially with MP's.
The weapons are clean balanced, although I think the MP's might be a little more damage and Shotguns tolerate a little more precision. The hit effects on opponents come mainly in the SP over very well and convey the shootouts hard and dirty.
The destruction has been greatly scaled back, which is probably the scenario, but there are cards like an old hotel, which can be almost completely disassembled.
The vehicles run well and precise comparisons with racing games, I do not draw, because I do not play. That one out of the windows can sit for drive-by's is a Saugeiles feature. The players are vulnerable in the car and can be shot out (depending on model). The vehicles are no longer a showstopper for the infantry.
The maps are well thought out in my opinion, but the spawn points still need tweaking.
4. Scenario
My personal favorite scenario, the only thing that I find unfortunate is that no real Erklährung is offered for how the hell 500 gangsters to rob one bank in La, but that is due to the gameplay. Who wants skirmishes, can also play very fun scourge rescue.
It is surprising to me that the game actually well conveys the scenario. The arms are adapted to the scenario and there are only a few Heavy weapons such as machine guns or rocket launchers (which are but the more powerful), most of the action consists of firefights in the short to medium range.
Single Player:
Add to that a word: I find the SP per se is not bad, it is well thought out and plays well, but there are some moments in the story, in which one touches his head (a redneck, the tanks, combat helicopters and military aircraft , all sharp, with ammunition, hoarding on an abandoned airport in the anti-weapon State of California? ATF and FBI had the guy pulled out of circulation for a long time ...). It's a matter of taste, whether you want him playing.
Hardline is a really good game and surprised me honestly in the 2nd beta. I hope that a hardline comes 2 and makes it even better.
