It's the first time that we have written about Battlefield Hardline here on Popular Airsoft. Well, we have had given the Battlefield franchise a bit of a bad review event if we didn't have problems with the game play at all as we did like it, especially the multiplayer part. It’s mainly more of the bugs and glitches that beset the games, that sometimes we just give up completing games and just move on to other video games.

Battlefield 4 was much maligned, given that it was released with too many problems even if we loved the multiplayer game as the action was really fantastic. We prefer it over Call of Duty as the latter is getting a bit dated in terms of gaming style that a reboot was decided to make Advanced Warfare.

Battlefield Hardline is deviation from the warfare theme of the Battlefield Series, and more of  a "cops and robbers" game. It still feels like Battlefield, even the single player campaign, which was unveiled recently as shown in the 12-minute video below:

Watching the videos and reading more information on Battlefield Hardline, I felt that this game should just have been given another game title rather than Battlefield. Why? With all the increasing criticism that policing in the USA has taken a more militaristic approach, Battlefield Hardline would reinforce that perception. Include the recent riots in Ferguson, Missouri over an armed black teenager killed by the police and in which the police response was more like a military occupying force with all the matching military gear, the more people reacted more against the police.

If it is a police story, it doesn’t seem like it. It’s still warfare rather than policing even with more options at taking down the enemies and having stealth options in going through the game. For the hardcore FPS gamer, he or she won't be bothered by this as it's more racking up stats, XPs, and frags. But for those who would be expecting something more of a grounded "cops" video game, with still some good old shoot `em darned armed robbers they will still be disappointed as it's more a warfare thing, rather than a video game that can surpass Max Payne.

Well, with some cities in the U.S.A. turning into something like a warzone in recent years with more mass shootings occuring, perhaps Battlefield Hardline title can be appropriate. Do you agree?
