It was problematic in 2015 and looking back at Hardline, it got all the worse as subsequent years saw greater media attention pointed at rampant police brutality and the unavoidable related race politics. The problem is that said new direction was switching out the military for law enforcement, and the political under- and overtones of a first person shooter painting a heroic picture of America's dangerously over-militarized police institutions is really not a good look. We suspect this will be one of our most controversial rankings, because Battlefield Hardline is a technically competent game that builds upon the mechanics of Battlefield 4 in creative ways, while also taking the setting and framing of the franchise into what could be considered an unusual, interesting new direction. For 2004, the game was definitely one of the top dogs, but it didn't exactly age gracefully, and there is little reason to go back any play it for any but the most hardcore of Battlefield fans.

Right? Okay then - here we go, from least good to best.īattlefield Vietnam Something something napalm With the next game being a return to the classic XX42 formula, now is as good a time as any to make an utterly definitive and in no possible way controversial ranking of the Battlefield games we've enjoyed over the years, with which undoubtedly nobody will take issue in the comment section. With a Call of Duty game slated for Fall - as it always is - this year is going to be a hot one for shooter fans. While the main info drop about the upcoming game will take place at EA Play in July, we already know more than enough about 2042 to be excited.įans of the series feel similarly, so much so that the multiplayer population of Battlefield 4 spiked hard following the announcement, as players sought to get their futuristic Battefield fix even though 2042 isn't out until October 22. I think people will still ask for it, but who knows.The Battlefield 2042 reveal has the modern military shooter community hyped up that one of the "big two" is making a return to the modern/futuristic setting that arguably made the mainstream AAA juggernaut what it is today. They're also going to be very different - playing Arica Harbor with 128 players is insane, compared to what it used to be. “We are really happy that we got Bad Company 2 maps in there.
