Battlefield Hardline is a first-person shooter developed by Visceral Games for PlayStation 3. Diverging from the military themes of previous entries, the game emphasizes urban police and criminal conflicts. It features modes such as Heist, Rescue, Hotwire, and Blood Money, offering players both military-grade weaponry and police gear like tasers and handcuffs for strategic gameplay.
Battlefield: Hardline features a whole new variety of gameplay that breaks away from the traditional Battlefield game modes. The new game modes are Heist Mode, Rescue Mode, Hotwire Mode and Bloodmoney Mode. The focus of the game has been shifted to police rather than the millitary background that has spanned the whole series up to now. Players will have access to various millitary grade weapons and vehicles as well as having police equipment such as tasers and handcuffs.
