Just a quick post.
EA and DICE have made a real mess of Battlefield Hardline. I played the beta for the entire period. It was interesting but not great. I hoped it would be better after the beta was through, but it was the same. Almost identical.
So all these gaming communities jumped on Hardline and it's been a flop on the PC especially, but it's similar on the consoles.

The only saving grace I can see is that it's a knockoff of Battlefield 4, so that most of the cost of implementation went into BF4.
The Battlefield series has a long history. It's too bad that Hardline sits under the title as well.
