The latter is aimed at the burgeoning &#8216;eSports&#8217; market, while the former is a huge departure for Battlefield multiplayer. While vehicles have always been an important part of the game, Visceral will really have to nail car handling to get this right.<\/p>\n<p>Battlefield Hardline is slated for a <strong>March 2015<\/strong> release on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Battlefield Hardline delayed until 2015\" href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/battlefield-hardline-delayed-to-2015\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Battlefield Hardline delayed until 2015<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"First impressions: Battlefield Hardline multiplayer beta\" href=\"http:\/\/features.en.softonic.com\/first-impressions-battlefield-hardline-multiplayer-beta\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">First impressions: Battlefield Hardline multiplayer beta<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Battlefield Hardline beta now open to PC players\" href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/battlefield-hardline-beta-open-all-windows-pc\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Battlefield Hardline beta now open to PC players<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><em>Follow me on Twitter: <a title=\"Follow Jonathan on Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/jonathanriggall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@jonathanriggall<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Developer Visceral revealed the first single player campaign gameplay trailer for Battlefield Hardline at today&#8217;s Gamescom 2014 EA conference, which moves the series away from soldiers, to police and criminals.
