Battlfield's loyal fan base has been divided about the upcoming Hardline. Some argue that the cops vs robbers style shooter is just the shake up the series needs; others are of the opinion that this takes us too far from the franchise's roots.
Developer Visceral Games wants to make sure they deliver with Hardline. Today, they've announced a new game mode: Crosshair.
In Crosshair, players face off in a 5v5 escort-style mission. You've got three minutes to kill the opposing team's VIP; if you're on the other team, your goal is to get them to the designated extraction point. All of this may not sound very innovative, but there's a catch: nobody respawns. The three-minute time limit, combined with this revelation, should prove to offer a very dynamic, fast-paced gameplay scenario.
Battlefield: Hardline is due out on March 17, 2015 for Playstation 4, Xbox One, PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
Thanks, IGN.
