0

battlefield hardline

With this new release date coming just a few months after EA announced Visceral Games’ upcoming take on the Battlefield series was delayed to 2015. With the delay was in response to feedback it received from its beta.

In a crime drama filled single player story, Miami is embroiled in a drug war and Officer Nick Mendoza has just made Detective. Alongside his partner, veteran detective Khai Minh Dao, he follows the drug supply chain from the streets to the source. In a series of increasingly off-the-books cases the two detectives come to realise that power and corruption can affect both sides of the law.

In multiplayer, the world is simple. You’re on one side of the law or the other – a baton or bat, stun gun or rifle, armoured police truck or powerful muscle cars. But either way, teamwork is going to be essential if you’re going to want to pull off that perfect heist or big time bust in this new take on Battlefield multiplayer.

The European Premiere of Christopher Nolan’s INTERSTELLAR takes place tomorrow night at 6pm (Wednesday 29th October) in London’s Leicester Square.  You can join the live stream showing all the action from the red carpet including the world-first fully interactive 360 degree camera.
