What is Battlefield Hardline?

Battlefield Hardline shifts the series’ focus from military combat to gritty police work, letting players chase criminals through Miami’s underworld. The single‑player campaign follows detectives Nick Mendoza and Khai Minh Dao as they unravel a drug‑war conspiracy that blurs the line between law enforcer and lawbreaker. The multiplayer experience introduces four new modes—Heist, Rescue, Hotwire, and Bloodmoney—each built around cops versus criminals gameplay, while still offering classic Battlefield weapons, vehicles, and police gear like tasers and handcuffs.
