Surprisingly its not releasing on iOS
“Own More and Be More” is EA’s dystopian-toned tagline for its unveiling ofBattlefield Hardline Premium. In addition to the £44.00/$59.99 price for the base game (£59.99/$69.99 for the “deluxe” version), you can slap down an additional £44.00/$59.99 to unlock exclusive things that should have been included anyway.
For the price of another full game you get:
You’ll also get exclusive access to the four following content packs two weeks early:
These packs will feature“new multiplayer maps, modes, vehicles, in-game content and a story themed throughout all four,” all of which are sure to entice and thrill.
You’ll also get 12 Gold Battlepacks which contain random in-game items for your enjoyment, exclusive in-game cosmetic #swag, exclusive in-game missions and events, and an exclusive double XP bonus.
However, the most bullshit exclusive thing of them all is: “Priority position in server queues.” That means, if you buy the base game and the servers are overloaded, you get to wait so that people who paid more money can go ahead of you.
Some might say, “Battlefield 3andBattlefield 4’sPremium memberships were a good deal!” I’ll have to admit the amount of content was fairly good, but it’s easy to forget how terrible and brokenBattlefield 4was at launch, and with launches in general lately, you might spend $120 just to have an unplayable mess on your hands. For a game that isn’t exactly knocking it out of the ballpark in previews, it’s too much of an investment in my opinion.
Battlefield Hardlineis coming out March 17 in the U.S. and March 19 in the U.K. exclusively on Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
