It's not bad at all—it's just a layer on top of BF4 with minimal changes. I don't understand why they didn't do more with it...
You haven't tried BF2 yet, but it seems like BF3/Bc2 is a much improved version compared to BFBC2.
I haven't really listened to it. I've tried it myself. The first time I played it, bad company was the first place I really liked. Bad company 2 improved the concept, and bf3 was when things took a turn for the worse. I still enjoyed it, but it's nowhere near what it used to be.
Hardline feels like an odd choice because Battlefield looks almost identical to previous entries, similar to how BF4 differed from BF3. It seems many games have essentially been rebrands of BF2. While Hardline hasn't gained much attention lately, it offers fresh gameplay modes that might give it a better chance compared to relying on Conquest for years. I'm not overly excited about Hardline yet—largely because of its cost and EA's business approach—but the gunplay is more satisfying than in BF4. The progression system appears stronger than in BF4.
