  • Battlefield Hardline: Criminal Activity DLC Coming in June

    For those fans still playing Battlefield Hardline, you should be happy to hear that the Criminal Activity DLC is slated to have "early access" beginning this June.

    There’s been a recent uptick in reports in the local precincts – a rash of violent crime that is seemingly connected somehow.

    Small crews of well-trained, aggressive criminals have been using force of arms to terrorize the citizenry and are in direct conflict with the police in many cases. Public property damages and insurance claims have skyrocketed, not to mention the impact on the police force.

    Detectives have uncovered evidence of a secret crime ring that could be behind all of this activity. They’re not sure why anyone would coordinate these goals – in a number of cases, the take seems to be smaller than the risk. But, orders have come down the chain to find out what’s going on and put a stop to it. Will you help the police?

    The goods in Battlefield Hardline: Criminal Activity.
    • Four fast-paced new maps – Backwoods, Code Blue, The Beat and Black Friday
    • Two new rides
    • Two new ammunition types for specific weapons
    • A new gadget
    • Three new weapons
    • A nailgun battlepickup
    • New Bounty Hunter game mode
    • Six new masks: two animal masks, and four new police headgear options

      OK, so Premium is 4 DLCs, one less than BF3 and BF4, and its still 4 maps going by this information.

      So, doing the math, Premium costs the same as purchasing the DLCs separately, IF the DLC is still $15 each, like it was in BF3 and BF4.

      Hmmmm, not a very good move to get Premium if all the above still holds true. It makes me wonder if EA is going to increase the DLC cost to $20.

      With the base game's player count already as low as it is, compared to previous games, they'd be mad to sell the DLC at a HIGHER price than normal. Nobody would buy it or play it.

      So then the next question is, what will Visceral do to give value to customers who preordered Premium? Or is there no real incentive DLC wise other than early access?

      The way it looks right now, the only "extras" you get are additional battlepacks, early access, and camos/paints/patches.

      For some that might be an incentive, but that would NEVER be an incentive for me. I always bought premium because it saved me some on the DLC I was going to buy anyway.

      Dang. Those aren't very convincing extras. I guess all we can do is wait and see what else Visceral and EA will do for those with Premium. Thanks for the analysis CptainCrunch, as I'm far too lazy to make any actual comparisons.

      (Also, I want to state for the record that I no longer regret buying Battlefield 4. EA allowing DICE to do extended support is changing my mind about the franchise being ruined. A part of me feels like DICE is doing it begrudgingly and would rather fully focus on Mirror's Edge 2 and Star Wars Battlefront, but I'm running out of complaints for BF4 very quickly. The stock market bullcrap EA executives pulled is still evil though.)
