If you enjoyed playing battlezone you will like this game also. They are very similar in game play. This game is what battlezone would have been if it were not a vector type game.

Finally a change from the repetitive, military style FPS!! What a nice break. This game may look silly at first glance, just like Serious Sam was, but its no Serious Sam. The game runs deeper. The story is definatly cool, not much of a story, but enough to keep you going through hell's minions. Now, I saw a couple of review complaining about, puzzles etc etc. The level design, is quite linear too, but when it comes to secrets, one must truly show his worth and reflexes. Applying the complex 'bunny hopping' technique to enhance speed and jumping heights, to out maneuver your enemy, reach hidden areas etc...
Its not just: "point away from face and fire", one must adopt a combat technique to actually get somewhere in this game.
Weapons - mastering the combo weapon moves is also a key to the survival of PK, at first I saw 5 weapons, and thought I'd get tired of them quick, but I was wrong, its the 4th time I'm completing the game, and believe me, you won't get bored of the weapons.
Visuals are stunning, havoc2 rules, bosses are stunningly detailed and huge. Not to mention fun. The think I loved most in PK is the level design. All levels are unique, and different, its like a new setting each time. (the Asylum is stunning...) The fact is that 'PCF' did not use the same level texture twice in the whole game, so each level has its OWN textures, to make sure they are unique.
Music - 5 star, perfect music setting for every level, and action scene. And professionally done, not the typical digital music made with cheap sound effects.

But that doesn't mean this game isn't fun. The division is an addictive game. It's destiny meets GTA as far as game play goes. You can't kill civilians like GTA but it is this person and no ducking or going prone like you would in other Tom Clancy games. You run from cover to cover and use tactics with your teammates (better with friends but does have matchmaking). The dark zone will keep you on your toes as you wander around not knowing who your enemies might be. Not exactly pvp in the dark zone but not always pve. You must play to experience. Get this game if you are thinking about it. You won't be disappointed.

I got this game today with my PS3. It reminds me a lot of a Doom meets Call of Duty. You're a soldier who is going out to kill some pretty ugly aliens. The gameplay is smooth - the aliens are an easy kill although I am finding health scarce. The graphics are awesome. I have a 720p tv. I know this is going to look sweet to anyone who has a 1080p. The game plays much like a movie, showing off the Blu Ray HD. The load time is fast and I am really happy with it. I own 5 games so far for the PS3 and this one and Call of Duty 3 are my favorites.

Always having to be online via Battle.net 2.0 kills it, especially when it gets laggy.  That aside, I love this game.  The atmosphere of the game is wonderful.  The world truly feels like a place that's going to Hell.

It's all about preference really... I loved Battlefield 4 once it was fixed because during launch it WAS BROKEN but Hardline the beta convinced me and IT WAS AWESOME Now that I have this game now my final review for it is 10/10 despite some minor bugs I LOVE THIS GAME only played the multiplayer aspect of this game rank 18 so far and I love the fast pace it's amazing will still get on Battlefield 4 from time to time but this game has game modes that are more fun in my honest opinion I love Heist and Hotwire those are my 2 favorite modes I will still grind on Large Conquest Hardcore since it gives me Battlefield 4 memories! This game is now my favorite PS4 Game!!!

Wow! I've been a diehard Battlefield fan since the first Battlefield games. Hardline is a breath of a fresh air. Its something different.

Battlefield Hardline probably has the best campaign of the series. Not to mention quite lengthy compared to previous BF campaigns. Took me almost 9-10 hours to finish the campaign.

Campaign:
-Lengthy
-Decent story. Better than previous Battlefield.
-Involves a lot of stealth. You can "arrest" enemies with handcuffs by flashing your badge.

Multiplayer:
-NO lagging or glitching.
- A lot more fast-paced than previous Battlefield games. Cars are high-speed unlike the slow tanks & heavy vehicles from BF3/4
-Graphics are decent. About the same as BF3 & BF4. No improvement.
-Multiple new and original gamemodes such as Heist, Hotwire, Blood Money, Rescue, etc.
-The "Rescue" gamemode will appeal to you if you like search and destroy on COD.
-Hotwire is definitely my favorite gamemode. More vehicle oriented and the most fast-paced gamemode.

Overall, BF Hardline is one of my favorite BF games to date. Ignore all the reviews saying how its just "cops and robbers"

As a big fan of all the Call of duty games, I can say that this game has it all to spend hours going through diferent war scenarios.
It gets very tough at some points but non the less takes away the fun,
The online experience is amazing too, while you play with up to 8 players at the same time, giving this game a whole new face.

This game is good. Good things. The fun facter is wonderful. It has a ton of complex features and planning. The story line is wonderful. You get to nearly completely custimize your entire team. They have special classes and skills. Your missions are very different and unique. There are unlimited ways to complete your mission adding a strong point to the replay value. The story is well told and interesting. They are in real world locations. You've A arsenal of weapons and gadgets and body armer to custimize your men and women with. The game game is very realistic. If one of the men dies in a mission you can't use him in another mission he is dead. If a person is incapicated in battle you cannot use this operative in another mission for a certain amount of missions till he or she heals. Also you can be wounded this happends eather if you are wounded in battle or you were incapicitated and know you are nearly healed. When you are wounded you can go into battle but have loss to your skills. Types of soilders are Assault Recon Demolitions Electronics Sniper they have skills fitting their type. tYpes of missions include preventing a nuclear meltdown recon planting explosives capturing an enemy leader rescuing hostages nuetrilizing a group of terrorists and busting a arms deal prevent terrorists from escaping from a bust. You and your teamates have a realistic amount of health excluding bodyarmer you have as much health as the badguys. You can custimize down to the bullet you use in planning. Nuetrel things. The enemy AI isn't that good. Enemies aren't very smart they don't really pay attention to their surronding killing them is easy. They will run from a grenade and set off a alarm but they could just be standin around not awear of anything until he sees you. So if you are behind him or near him in a position where if he just looked around he'll see you but he dosen'tlook around. This dosen't count for patroling enemies. When an enemy sees you he just walk towards you firing not ducking or hiding behind a wall. If you capture a enemy captain which you have to do in a mission he'll sound just like a hostage you are rescuing. Acting like they were rescued as prisoners not being captured as a prisoner. Bad things. Your team AI sucks they will will just stand there cluelessly unless you tell them to do something or you make them have a plan which they will follow like rbots only shooting enemy and doing what they are told. They basicly don't think for themselfs. You can shoot at one he'll stand there doing nothing and your other teammates won't even notice that their coleege is getting killed. Also it is loadeed with bugs and graphicel gliches enemy's go through walls. You get cought in graphics allot. Voices and music slur crackel. Enemies sometime float around or the body's are lieing firmly in mid air. I'm giving it 4 stars because even though it has some problems it is a really good game any realistic anterrorism shooting game fan would like it.

Battlefield 2:  Mission Complete was one of my favorite online multiplayer games when it came out for the Xbox 360.  The well designed maps, vehicles, and weapons kits made it a game that was more than your run of the mill run-around-like-an-idiot-deathmatch first person shooter.  Battlefield:  Bad Company takes that one step further.

Kits:
Each weapons kit suits a different style of play.  They all also play a vital role on each map.  With games like CoD4, the kits don't really serve as much of a function as the gameplay is still your standard deathmatch type.  (I tried the other gameplay, but the learning curve is steep.  In my experience, only "l33t" gamers venture outside of the team deathmatch servers.)  With the added feature of the destructibility of the BF: BC maps, the kit selection is even more important.  You can create your own paths to the gold crates and eliminate your enemy's opportunity for cover.

Vehicles:
This is one area that sets BF: BC apart from its competitors.  The addition of vehicles ads an element of strategy to the gameplay simply not present in CoD4.  There are many vehicle types in this game:  tanks, armored transport vehicles, artillery pieces, and helicopters.  Each provides a team, attack or defense, with a respectable force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.  Unless you know how to respond to each threat, your team will be overwhelmed.  Conversely, if you are operating one of these vehicles and do not know how to respond to enemy countermeasures, you will find yourself jumping into tanks simply to die before you make it to the enemy's base.

Maps:
For the most part, they are small.  They are small maps designed to create small, fast, urban warfare environments.  Even the maps that have a lot of space, combat is bottlenecked into villages where the crates are contained.  As an attacker or defender, the maps provide predictable locations for the majority of the combat.  The addition of destructible environments allows for some deviation and an element of the unpredictable.

Negative aspects:
The only negative that I've experienced are lag issues with the servers.  Twice I've had >450 scores with some time left in the game just to have the server lock up on me and force me to restart my PS3.  After those two occasions, though, I've been able to identify that I'm on a server with lag issues and log out for another one before having the system lock up on me.  If you're on one map and having lag issues, Ascension for example, just leave that game and select a game on Over and Out.  Usually it takes just one switch for me to find a server that is free of lag.

Voice chat is a concern.  I've frequently found myself on teams filled with new players making juvenile mistakes.  All it would take to fix those mistakes is the ability to communicate with my teammates.  Sadly, I don't have a bluetooth headset and don't plan on buying one.  Even those with the headsets have complaints that they are unable to communicate.

Overall:
I'd say that this game is far better than the competitors currently found in the genre.  For the PS3 everything else is centered around typical deathmatch play.  Battlefield provides a more realistic first person shooter experience, and that in my opinion makes it more fun.

I cannot believe this game is more fun that battlefield 4, but it is.  I was not impressed by the beta, but the full game is absolutely amazing.  Best FPS by miles.

This is a fun little game. The multiplayer is not as great as Battlefield 4, but the story is way better! Its like watching a TV Cop drama.

I had given up on first person shooter games as being boring and requiring little thought.  My mind has been changed by this game.  Technically, it's first person plural, because in addition to your own character you have a squad of 3 other commandos that you control.

The AI for the squad is great.  I was concerned that trying to control them all would be unwieldy, but I've quickly figured out how to manage them and only rarely do they wander off.  They often take the logical action in different situations instead of just running around and shooting.  As I've progressed further, there have been several situations that require you to place your squad in strategic spots so that overwhelming enemies can be eliminated.  And they have some pretty funny things to say at times.

The game play itself is just plain fun.  It is very directed, at times I'd like to wander off to explore other areas with my squad,  but the direction is intentional and true to life of combat operations.  You can't have soldiers running off wherever they please.

The HUD in the trooper's helmet is great.  I bet the DoD is working on something just like that right now.

The only drawbacks to the game are the lack of freedom when accomplishing missions, and the lack of a picture guide concerning what the different grenades look like.  After collecting several types, I had to use trial and error to figure out which grenades were which.  That was painful.  Also, make sure your graphics card can play the game.  I spent an afternoon trying to find the right card that would work with it(NVidia GeForce 5500, in case you're curious)

Overall, it's a great game.  I've had a lot of fun with it and am looking forward to playing through the rest of the levels than trying it online.

Make no mistake, this is the best looking game out right now. Fully destructable environments, 64 player matches, and now old school Battlefield 2 maps like Strike at Karkand are available. This game brings back all the nostalgia of BF2, expands on the game play, and makes it beautiful. The leveling system is very deep. And for the obligitory comparison, yes, I have way more fun playing Battlefield 3 than Call of Duty MW3.

This game is great. It provides challenge. It has coop but its not like coop in halo or cod where the other people are just there to be there. You have to rely on your partner. The AI in this game is great. The story is not bad. The characters are humerous yet deadly. The graphics are pretty good even 4 years later. This game is much better than mainstream shooters like cod and bf. I cant wait to play 40th day and devils cartel.
