Battlefield Hardline will feature a less linear single player campaign than other Battlefield games, according to Visceral Games’ creative director Ian Milham.

In an interview with Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Milham shared new insight into the team’s approach to single player.

“When we were thinking about how to do this game, I think anybody who knows us at Visceral knows that singleplayer is near and dear to our heart. We’ve done a pretty OK job of it before, and we have some pretty cool ideas for this one.

“On the singleplayer side the stuff that’s important to us is maybe not do as much of a single-path linear rollercoaster that’s been done before. We want more tactical choice, more player choice. Things to do besides just shoot everybody. That’s not really a cop thing as much.”

A Battlefield Hardline beta is currently available on PS4 and PC, and will be coming to all platforms before the game’s October 24 launch.
