When does it come out in Ireland? It says 19th for EU on Wiki, but 20th for UK. Are we going to be lumped in with the UK for this?

Origin is enforcing the 20th on Irish addresses.

I understand the reason for it, but I still find it ridiculous.

I played the 10 hour trial. I bought the game. I have the files. The servers got a good stress test during the beta. Let me play the damn game!

Here's a list of currently online players per system:

I find this pretty interesting.

A couple of points:

The majority of the PC crowd are located in Europe. Same with BF4. Hardline isn't even out yet in Europe so I expect the PC numbers to soar after the 20th. It's stupid o' clock in the US right now which makes up for the drop in numbers on consoles. I was following those figures last night and it's a solid number throughout the night.

How many maps can you play heists on? I'm more into the smaller maps so I'm hoping there is a good few smaller maps.

Totally agree about the spawning & the weapon balance

All 9 maps are playable on the Heist game mode. 2 out of the 9 maps are small enough that they aren't included in the Conquest or Hotwire game modes.

"Growhouse" and "The Block".

Well that graph is completely wrong anyway. Not out until 20th for Xbox & Playstation in Ireland & UK.

I stand by my statement. That graph is completely wrong when it comes to the Ireland & UK release date.

It's the 20th.

MiskyBoyy · 18-03-2015 6:52pm

It was also out 17th not the 16th for North America, Asia etc.

Whoever at EA made that graph, jaysus!

Grumpypants · 18-03-2015 7:59pm

The graph says it is out in Uk Ireland and Portugal on the 20th. which is right.

Ah I see it now I just went straight to the bottom row never saw the others

wandatowell · 19-03-2015 12:27am

Anyone else put off by the lack of a military theme or is that just old hat nowadays?

Nah, I like the cops & criminals theme. It's a refreshing change. Although, I do agree they should have dropped Battlefield from the title. Called it just Hardline.

Cops & Criminals now, Stormtroopers at christmas, back to Military early-mid next year. :cool:

MajesticDonkey · 19-03-2015 12:43am

Hardline (PC) - €35

I've played about 4 hours so far (living in Oz) and I have to say its more like the COD gameplay. I can admit im bot the best BF player but its too quick for me so far!

I hate the money system too! Would be great to trial, for say 3 deaths, a scope before you buy it cos some are ****!!

It doesnt play as smooth as BF4 so far, looks kinda cartoonish too, but will continue to play it cos i forked out 110$..;)

My 2 cents anyway!

Given what US police forces are like, the difference between military and law enforcement there is a very thin one.

It's the 20th.

Am I missing something here... the graphs states that it is the 20th for Ireland and UK. Why do you keep saying the graph is wrong.

EDIT - Nevermind... I can see it is platform based... the graph is very wrong

For easy money, join a Hotwire server with 10 people or less, just get one of the objectives and start driving! Even better, if you have a gearhead boost, stick that on too. You'll rake in the money!

Also, not as much but handy money too is look for a full or near full blood money server and join as a hacker. Just throw everything on the cash pile! :cool:

Deluxe edition versus basic?

That isn't an online only price no?

Did you mention to your store about it being €56 on their website?

I'm not getting my copy until Monday week, but already few of the boys have processed refunds through Origins.

Been keeping up with a few streamers on twitch playing it and they don't seem overly impressed.

Obviously just a small sample size, but we are all big BF heads, and it's not an immediately good sign. Will still get my copy and play myself before making my mind up. But I've dropped expectations to the floor for this, and maybe thats where it belongs.

Was treating it as a little filler, BF Vietnam style, so if I get a few weeks out of it probably be job done.
