It's enjoyable, but feels like a mod cobbled together by an amateur team.
There are possitive things: not many bugs, good netcode (most likely because of small beta-playerpool), fair enough weapon-physics.
But no reason why they should ask full $60 price for the police skins, CTF/Rush-fused gamemode, sprays, a baseballbat and a grapplinghook though. This shouldn't be a stand-alone Battlefield tittle.
In other words: "Battlefield Hardline, the most overpriced DLC of 2014!"

If I'm not mistaken, it's not made by DICE.
Also, it has a "great" single-player campaign.

well, actually, isn't everything we buy on the pledge store DLC? We don't even get a game with it yet, and yet some people are spending thousands! Makes one think about the effectiveness of marketing, does it not?
After the bf4 and premium on that that costed me some 120e and before that the bf3 with the same.. im not going to invest on another cashgrab.. sure they are "good" but NOTHING new. And as said, i'd hope they finish and fix the bf4 first.. Not going to touch this...
exactly BF3 + Premium was great, i played to rank colonel 40 and had a lot of fun.
then i bought BF4 + Premium prematurely... what could go wrong ?
yea....

Sadly I agree, people will keep paying for a damaged brand, rather than stopping and making EA re-think their strategy.
However as a huge fan who has been playing most BF games since 1942 (sadly 2142 is one of the few exceptions) came out I wouldn't say 'any loyal fan', because what you suggest in an unwavering, unquestioning fan base who never question and would buy because of a brand name. EA took a big squat over the franchise when they squeezed out BF4 in the state they did.
EA's treatment of the franchise has caused a lot of ill will. Not enough though that when they release Hardline people will avoid it despite it being a re-skin for all intents and purposes. Maybe the full game will offer moe, I hope so as it's essentially the same trap I may fall into with Battlefront (as it will be on Frostbite 3 they'll have ironed all the kinks out by 2015... right...)
Does this post sound conflicted? It should!

so... I got into beta.
anyone else?
Origin name is Zed-Xs
(will only play a BIT of beta, like I did BF4... and not buy the game in the end, because I just can't justify spending 60$ for what I'll play only 10ish hours... I usually purchase my game using $/hour)
