Battlefield Hardline is a first-person shooter developed by Visceral Games for Xbox 360, emphasizing a law enforcement theme rather than military combat. The game introduces unique modes such as Heist, Rescue, Hotwire, and Blood Money, shifting the focus to police activities. Players utilize both military weapons and police gear, including tasers and handcuffs, in dynamic multiplayer environments.
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.
