DICE discusses tweaks planned for Battlefield: Hardline

DICE has updated the official Battlefield blog to discuss the beta for Battlefield: Hardline, which ended its beta phase late last month

According to Thad Sasser, Lead Multiplayer Designer for the game, the team received a ton of feedback about what sorts of things players want to see changed or tweaked in the game.

Sasser said that player speed has been increased by 10% since many complained that the game felt a little sluggish, while players can get an additional 10% bonus for running with your pistol.

Suppression has also been updated so that aimpoint is not affected anymore, only situational awareness. The Survivalist gadget will also now revive you at 1 health and auto-inject after 5 seconds.

Here are some additional changes as per DICE:

• The camera shake has been toned down during the crane crash in the High Tension map.
• Stairs in High Tension will no longer pull players into the wall.
• Objectives will be easier to spot, whether above or below your position.
• More special drivable vehicles will be added such as the Fuel Truck and the addition of a handbrake for cars.
• There will likely be the ability to nudge vehicles with a melee attacked if they get stuck.
• Weak spots have been added to the rear of heavily armored vehicles to make them easier to be destroyed.
• Finally, an icon will be added to the list of teammates inside a vehicle so you know who has the bag.
