Battlefield Hardline - Preview video

Battlefield: Hardline is a departure from the war-waging franchise, though it may not look like it at first blush. For starters, there's no war to speak of; just the good old fashioned plight of cops vs. robbers. Also, this entry was developed by series newcomer Visceral Games, so you can safely expect that, at some point, someone's limbs are going to get separated from the rest of their bodies. But a lot of the core multiplayer mechanics seem familiar — as seen in our video preview, posted above.
