Fantastic game, I really enjoyed the feel of the campaign and how multiplayer was such a departure from the series. My main issue with Hardline was that Nick was way too forgiving to Khai - you know, one of the people responsible for ruining his life. Also, there isn't much of a reason to go back and use the weapons that you can unlock by collecting all the evidence and warrant arrests (something you can only do by finishing the game). Otherwise, this is hands down my favorite Battlefield game and it's a real tragedy no one plays it anymore.
Hardline is so overhated, it was a pretty great game, people dont realize how good they had it, especially now when 2042 turned out to be a dumpster fire
Honestly i liked the progression in multiplayer. You can buy weapons if you have the money instead of farming for thousands of hours to get them. Not to mention blaring music and running over cops/robbers is amazing
As much as I prefer the war games instead, Hardline is an AMAZING spinoff game, and I love how the gameplay was mostly just BF4 but with great QOL changes. Like, the gameplay formula peaked with Hardline. Making it so you can pick up ammo and health yourself off of your teammates instead of needing them to place it down perfected that system, I don't understand why DICE changed it afterward. And the campaign in Hardline? Perfection. It was such a good ride through the whole thing. I can understand people not preferring the general gameplay as a whole, because people come to Battlefield for a war game and this wasn't that. But that's also completely those people's fault because this was not supposed to be a war game. It was a spinoff and it was amazing for what it was
The cops-and-robbers theme of Hardline was *_SEVERELY_* underrated. Multiplayer was like a high-octane action movie, and I had an absolute blast playing it. I wish the game didn't get as much hate as it did.
Battlefield Hardline was in my eyes, even though I've never played it, a good Battlefield game. The fact you play as a cop turned rogue just sounds very appealing compared to the bland FPS market nowadays, that and the fact it wasn't a World War FPS.
Honestly bf hardline is my fav Battlefield I played countless hours just playing the story over and over and the multiplayer was the perfect mix of silly and immersive and I don't remember another Battlefield with a drivable couch
hardline deserves its own series or at least a sequel. It was so much fun and you could tell that they cared about this game because of all the detail they put into it.
I actually played the beta on 360. Fucking loved it, but didn't have the money when it came out so i never really got to play it beyond the beta. I was like 17 and couldn't work.
@@kalypso4133 understandable I can't remember when or where i get the BF Hardline but probably i got with the X360, same thing for GTA 5 Look this coincidence, in this year I turned 17 Y.O
Ive never seen so much love for Hardline before, this is Undoubtedly my favourite Battlefield game, I was always a big fan of the police Aesthetic and damn do they do it justice
I used to play Hardline a lot when I was younger; it always felt like it had high energy and I loved getting better at it. Watching this makes me really want to revisit it, thanks for the memories
I wish this game was popular again, the concept was great, the maps were good. Would be much more a slap to the face to see this game get more popular than 2042 although that IS a bit of a low bar to cross.
I remember when i used to play the multiplayer with my homies on the criminal side, the golden times, wish the game didn't die, hope it makes a comeback
10:05 Is the protagonist a Florida boy? He knows about the gator thing. They say it's really easy to hold a gator's mouth shut because their musculature is built for biting down hard, but the muscles for the reverse motion are much weaker.
There's something wrong with that sentence.. "..first Battlefielf was Hardline on the ps3, thank.." PS3? You sure it was on the PS3 my gamer? Edit: Just looked it up. That is weird to be honest.
I actually remember in 2014, when the Xbox one released, I asked my parents for hardline, and they got me an Xbox one. And I gave them so much shit for that, because I wanted hardline. And as much as I know I was a little shit back then, I stand by that claim, Hardline was the shit. It is my highest played battlefield game, with BF1 trailing behind. It was such a fun fucking game, with so many secrets that a battlefield game should be. Players mocking this game forced it down the path it’s on today, with little to no good changes made, alternating between modern combat, world wars, and “Futuristic combat”. We are (Partially) responsible for the direction the series has gone
the multiplayer was good too no tank and heli abuse of my supple soft gamer booty, the guns didn't make a whole lot of sense but the rule of cool is boss
This was the first shooter game I ever played, I was 6 or 8 when I played this. I know play Fallout, COD and even some funny little games like dating Sim, transformer games, along with some simulators or building games, like mincraft and even roblox sometimes. So I guess I have my love for shooter games from this game, or mabye even my dad I guess. Also keep up the good work brother you have get jokes and how you keep we watching, love you keep up the good work!
I actually played the beta for Hardline on 360. Fucking loved it, but didn't have the money when it came out so I never really got to play it beyond the beta. I was like 17 and couldn't work. Sad it died like it did.
I wish i was able to play hardline when the game was a lot more populated. The game’s actually great and my only gripe is the instant ttk, but i could’ve gotten used to that if xbox actually had people playing the game.
6:19 man my homie my com-padre the shoulder is really fucking bad to be shot in, it contains major arteries and if the bullet hit the bone when that bone shatters it rips the fuck out of the artery. When it comes to bleeding out and not guaranteed death the shoulder, femur, and spleen are the worst places to be hit.
I love all the people crying and saying how good hardline was when they all shit talked it and now thanks to 2042 everyone is like “we didnt know how good we had it” meanwhile the quality of the game is still shit it just got shittier lmao
man i don't get to play any of these really cool maps anymore. Man you got clout and a dedicated fan base hop in a server and tweet the IP that shit will fill up any hour
I use to play hardline by streaming it to my PlayStation vita and playing multiplayer by that, weirdly it had a lower delay than Xbox game pass does now a days
6:15 J you do release getting shot in the shoulder is like the third worst spot to be shot??? You have a bunch of arteries there and will bleed out in a minute or two.
The best mission of hardline was the hotel one and the one where you go meet the snitch. Cuz that is where you are playing the game that you wish you were playing.
nab yourself a sockman vinyl figure.

36:00 that shark scared the shit out of me
11:14 I love how I sneezed at the same time as J.
I love the menu theme
J. Buddy. Love of my life. There are one or two arteries in the shoulder
They dead-ass wrote Columbia when referring to Colombia in the subtitles
>Americans
Fun fact, if you get shot in the shoulder you will actually bleed out very fast because a bunch of arteries run through there
I am buying EA play pro because of your videos
Was that a primus ringtone?
I saw that shit at 36:08 sock man, nice try

Hardline is so overhated, it was a pretty great game, people dont realize how good they had it, especially now when 2042 turned out to be a dumpster fire
But Hardline is bad because im not a modern military man with a rocket launcher

most people just got too comfy with their helicopter and tank bullying to enjoy the solid gameplay in multiplayer, people just don't like change
It probably would have been received better if they didn’t tag the battlefield name onto it
Sucks that people stopped playing this masterpiece of a game i still miss hardline );
maybe they'll remaster old games since the newer ones are poopy, fingers crossed
I mean I've been on some full servers. It's just that sometimes on some servers the map doesn't change.
Bro I saw your comment and was so damn confused cuz I saw your PFP and swore i hadnt seen this video yet
I cant even launch the damn thing, and I've tried to troubleshoot it, but im too dumb
@@dungaloidblastobrain9515 ok kinda late but seeing the same PFP really messed my my head up lol

They didnt kill Visreal because they were lackluster
They simply feared their creative power.

Honestly bf hardline is my fav Battlefield I played countless hours just playing the story over and over and the multiplayer was the perfect mix of silly and immersive and I don't remember another Battlefield with a drivable couch
bro i spent wayyy too long just driving on the couch and being useless to my team
I thought he was saying that 2042 was fun for a second did a double take
you have no idea how vindicated i felt when he pulled out the fully automatic assault double barrel
Hardline gave me bad company vibes and i loved every second playing this game. Campaign was good, multiplayer was fair and fun, it was amazing
You know what, Battlefield Hardline was more of a love letter to the fans than BF 2042 ever was
Finally someone famous who recognises this game for the gem it is!
JFJ made a top 5 Battlefield titles video, and Hardline is on that top of that list. You should go give it a watch, it's a pretty entertaining one.
@@ShyerFox whos jfj?
@@imadrifter the youtuber who’s channel you’re on 😭
Hardline is the type of shooter we need more of it had a style in its setting
what other shooter can you nab a car and beat up punky fellows
im sure if jfj were to call all his subscribers to action, we would all play hardline multiplayer in heartbeat
hardline deserves its own series or at least a sequel. It was so much fun and you could tell that they cared about this game because of all the detail they put into it.
I remember, in 2015 this was my first Battlefield and I played in X360
I actually played the beta on 360. Fucking loved it, but didn't have the money when it came out so i never really got to play it beyond the beta. I was like 17 and couldn't work.

Omg i love John Battlefield Hardline!
I used to play Hardline a lot when I was younger; it always felt like it had high energy and I loved getting better at it. Watching this makes me really want to revisit it, thanks for the memories
YOOOO I LOVE HARDLINE BRO!!!
Like ngl easily my favorite battlefield just kinda sad that the player count aint as big as it used to be
I love just zooming around in the car game mode its so fucking fun
specifically with two engies in the backseats of the sedan just blinding each other
God I remember playing hardline when I first got my ps4. First fps I owned, and the one I had the most fun with
Seems like a weird first fps, but glad you got some (I assume) good memories of it.
Viceral gave their best on this game, like the attention to detail like breaking your leg when falling from a height
I wish this game was popular again, the concept was great, the maps were good. Would be much more a slap to the face to see this game get more popular than 2042 although that IS a bit of a low bar to cross.
I remember watching this stream and laughing my ass off when J started going "AudioJungle"
Fun fact: tasers have the ability to reduce someone’s vocabulary to mostly swears.
I love the fact that they added so many references to DS2
I remember when i used to play the multiplayer with my homies on the criminal side, the golden times, wish the game didn't die, hope it makes a comeback

used to play hardline on my console, shit was good. Also an unrelated topic, will you start playing yakuza 5.
I loved Hardlines multiplayer because it focus more on ground combat than neckbeard pilots who go on 100+ kill spree spamming HE 30mm.
I got scared there for a second, please don't show your face to us, I like not knowing what you look like.
as someone whose first Battlefield was Hardline on the ps3, thank you for flooding my mind with nostalgia JFJ!
There's something wrong with that sentence..
"..first Battlefielf was Hardline on the ps3, thank.." PS3? You sure it was on the PS3 my gamer?
Edit: Just looked it up. That is weird to be honest.
Hardline is underrated, good story, decent mechanics, and a grappling hook before 2042
I actually remember in 2014, when the Xbox one released, I asked my parents for hardline, and they got me an Xbox one. And I gave them so much shit for that, because I wanted hardline.

Played this game extensively and was the most fun battlefield game for me.
the multiplayer was good too no tank and heli abuse of my supple soft gamer booty, the guns didn't make a whole lot of sense but the rule of cool is boss
The campaign from a 2015 Battlefield spin-off that everyone hated has better weather, physics and detail than Battlefield 2042 lol
cool now we have Jfj off brand funko
but off brand funko is better cause it has more detail on it
13:18
"What is it now? HIM?! WHAT THE FUCK."
I bought this game today and coincidentally found this
God even the multi-player was great, why would anyone hate this game?
New addition for my jar.
"The game being dead"
Not on xbox it isn't
Vinyl Testicles
Omg
You know what would be funny? In the healing sequence in the first level, if you had to take that sequence and remeber for the final level
after i watched this i went to see how much it was and it was on sale, pretty fun so far. awesome video man, keep up the great work 👍
Your honor, my client is simply built different
Underrated Gem, Played the FUCK out of it when it was living and it was very much worth it
This was the first shooter game I ever played, I was 6 or 8 when I played this. I know play Fallout, COD and even some funny little games like dating Sim, transformer games, along with some simulators or building games, like mincraft and even roblox sometimes. So I guess I have my love for shooter games from this game, or mabye even my dad I guess.

Ya know, i think this video has convinced me to actually try out the campaign of Hardline.
I actually played the beta for Hardline on 360. Fucking loved it, but didn't have the money when it came out so I never really got to play it beyond the beta. I was like 17 and couldn't work. Sad it died like it did.
Still found the campaign disappointed. I was kinda expecting a proper cops vs robbers war like in the multiplayer an, you know a battlefield game?
I wish i was able to play hardline when the game was a lot more populated. The game’s actually great and my only gripe is the instant ttk, but i could’ve gotten used to that if xbox actually had people playing the game.
There are 14 people waiting for this over 12 hours in advance. Why. How. Where do you find the time and patience to wait.
Your sockman is the first piece of UA-cam merch I've bought. Mostly because I want a little cowboy holdin' down the fort while I'm away.
Good investment
I was expecting more double barrel shotgun more revolver action and a lot more Asian jokes I cannot say I'm disappointed I have a good time

i was like... whats in the other bag - is it a hat. AND THEN IT WAS AND I WAS HAPPY nice :D
Honestly feel Hardline would have had a better chance if it wasn't shackled down into being a Battlefield game
J: I am poor.
Also J
Hires a white person to do the sponsored part.
Also those little Js give me Cosmic vibes. :D
6:15 J you do release getting shot in the shoulder is like the third worst spot to be shot???

Have you lost weight JFJ? You look great. Maybe it was all that pro gorilla tag you were doing.
I forgot I skipped this game. Never knew it had a campaign lol
if you use a sniper in close range I know you smell like beans you were that kid that wore a minecraft creeper hoodie in middle school
I hate that Hardline got the Ghost experience where it was baldly balanced and people hated it so hard the dev's never tried to fix it
Actually something J said makes sense..why not have a rifle that fires taser darts?
Someone mentioned in the chat that something happened to the discord server and I couldn't find it either, what happened?
Does anyone know if the sockman figure is only going to be a preorder or if it’s going to have a set runtime?
Was expecting J to be fatter, not some average weight good lookin' texan dude
hardline is a great game imo. i had a blast a couple months ago and i really miss this game
Question about the figure can I still purchase it after preorder or does it not restock after preorder?
21:50 satisfying reload.
23:35 *REAL*
34:57 *FREEZE!*
I regretfully missed the plushie but I didn't miss this oh I can't wait
It fills me with joy when you take an action.
still play it to this day, shame the servers arent that populated on pc, fun game
If they're using lethal force on you, use lethal force back.
