Sometimes in order to be fresh, famous video game series take another path and tell a different story. Battlefield Hardline also tried to refresh series and instead on focusing on military warfare, Hardline is about crime, heist ant policing elements. The game takes place in the streets of Los Angeles and there are two main factions in the game – Special Response Units of police and criminals. As in the other Battlefield games, players have an option to use various vehicles and weapons. As in Battlefield 4, Hardline uses the “Levolution” mechanic, which lets players completely destroy various buildings, and this mechanic is almost in every mission of Battlefield: Hardline. There are also new game modes, including Heist, Rescue, Hotwire, Blood Money and Crosshair.
Battlefield: Hardline is the last game made by Visceral Games. It was promised prior to the release of the game that the main single-player campaign will not be linear – it features episodic crime dramas, where players have to choose how they want the story to go.
