Hardline was released soon after Battlefield 4, which led some players to feel that it was more of a full priced DLC than an actual new game. While the new gamemode concepts were genuinely fun and interesting, it never managed to cultivate a healthy playerbase. It took the classic military formula and reskinned it with a cops and robbers theme. Another light-hearted spin-off, this time developed by the team at Visceral Games, clearly didn’t pan out for EA. In my opinion, Hardline is criminally (ha) underrated.
