What Battlefield Hardline is
Battlefield Hardline is a shooter game developed by EA Digital Illusions CE and released in 2015. It was published by Electronic Arts. It is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Frostbite.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Miami is caught in the grip of a violent drug war when newly promoted detective Nick Mendoza is paired with veteran partner Khai Minh Dao to trace a narcotics supply chain from the streets to its source. As their investigation pushes into increasingly unofficial territory, the two detectives discover that corruption runs through both the criminal underworld and the ranks meant to fight it. What begins as routine police work steadily pulls Nick into a conflict where the line between cop and criminal blurs.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action, stealth and warfare. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Multiplayer and Single player. There are 62 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Battlefield Hardline holds a critic score of 73 out of 100. That places it above 49% of the 3,305 rated shooter games in our database, which average 70. Games released in 2015 averaged 69, so it scored 4 points above the year average. Player ratings track closely with critics at 70, across 334 votes.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 14.1 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 22.3 hrs, roughly 1.6 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Athlon II/Phenom II 2.8 GHz, Intel Core I3/I5 2.4GHz, 4 GB RAM and ATI 5770 with 1GB VRAM or better/Nvidia GTX260 with 896MB VRAM or better. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 60GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Battlefield Hardline launched on 17 March 2015, within three weeks of Bloodborne, Ori and the Blind Forest, Yakuza 0 and Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 2 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Bloodborne, Ori and the Blind Forest, Yakuza 0, Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin.
