Battlefield Hardline - Beta Imptessions

This is only a short review on what is a very small and short beta.

Its fun and short term and I think PayDay 2 has grabbed and held my attention more since E3. One thing to note this Beta has 1 map so maybe it will be a lot better come release.

Hardline is fun, but it's a bit stupid and over way too fast. Games can be won within a minute if the cops are not quick to secure the vaults and gameplay ends up becoming a camp fest / spawn and spam fest in the "heist" mode if the cops are quick of the mark.

However as I said, Hardline is fun, my first game, I lined up an RPG with a Helicopter at a good 3 second flight time, fired, carried on running (so looked away) saw the Vehicle hit / Destoryed marker come up, looked to see the Helicopter crash into a Crane, which in turn brought the Crane down into the building, which in turn killed about 90% of the people in the server. Awesome. However. After the 8th or 9th time the Crane comes down killing most people around (and those flying in a helicopter not to far away it seems) it soon becomes dull. Especially when all the dust and smoke ruin a good section of the map.

Blood money is flat out CTF with multiple flags on the same spot and again ends up becoming a bit of a camp fest where people try to get overwatch on the vault and kill anyone trying to grab some cash.

Vehicles are fun, but there are lots of them and serve no purpose unless its armoured and has guns as nearly everyone runs around with an RPG.

And somewhere around here I've lost interest. Throw in more maps/weapons/game modes and MAYBE it will be worth buying over BF4 but for me, probably not.
