A Battlefield that swaps military warfare for cops and robbers. The campaign refreshingly shifts gears, but multiplayer fumbles its formula. A bold try with mixed results.
Is Battlefield Hardline still worth playing in 2026?
An FPS from Visceral Games, Battlefield Hardline leaves the military battlefield for a clash between police and criminals, with a campaign shaped like a crime series and a multiplayer focused on heists and chases. The change of setting, the asymmetric modes and the snappy pace bring welcome freshness to the formula. The cut down multiplayer on Xbox 360 and the server closure limit the experience. An action FPS for fans of snappy crime fiction and large scale firefights.
