Battlefield Hardline is a first-person shooter game developed by Electronic Arts. It is set in the streets of Los Angeles, where players can choose to play as either the police or the criminals. Unlike previous Battlefield games, Hardline focuses on crime, heist, and policing elements. The game features various vehicles and weapons, allowing players to experience high-speed chases and intense gunfights.

One of the unique features of Battlefield: Hardline is the "Levolution" mechanic, which allows players to destroy buildings and change the environment to their advantage. The game also introduces new game modes, such as Heist, Rescue, Hotwire, Blood Money, and Crosshair. The single-player campaign is not linear and features episodic crime dramas, giving players the option to choose how they want the story to go.
