Battlefield Hardline

The timer is essentially a 'cooler', to keep the game pacing right. It stops the instant drop in like COD has because you can spawn on teammates. Ostensibly, it should protect the flow of the game, by stopping a squad making an unbeatable charge simply because they can respawn instantly off each other. It also adds to the game by making death feel more significant than it does in say, COD, so you're encouraged to play a little more slowly and tactically. However, in the best modes in Hardline, it feels punitive. I hadn't heard that Premium players could respawn faster, but it wouldn't surprise me!
One thing that especially irritates is that with the random spawning in TD being goofed, you can easily spawn and get killed straight away, which makes for a long and frustrating sitting out session. I suppose it's testament to how much of a flop this Battlefield is that the PH thread on it is so dead.
Sorry for the late response. I am irritated most by the duration of the timer and it's frequency after being killed immediately on re-spawning. It's not uncommon for every 60 seconds of gameplay to consist of 25 - 40 seconds of death / timer watching!! I kid you not and it becomes very frustrating and kills any pleasure the game might've had for me. At least in COD you get to play almost continually however frequent your death. It's not meaningful IMHO to wait so long in BF4 / BFH to get back into the game when killed it's an unnecessary nuisance and game-stopper for me. Especially when it's clear that players sit on re-spawn points to kill you and earn points as soon as you appear.One thing that especially irritates is that with the random spawning in TD being goofed, you can easily spawn and get killed straight away, which makes for a long and frustrating sitting out session.

I have just started playing this on-line. It is a hard slog to get the money to buy some decent kit to stay alive - But now I have the K10 - well, it is an awesome little weapon.
Saved for ages to buy the "explosive" thing - but don't seem able to plant it anywhere FFS. That was 30k wasted.
It can't be right that there are only about 4 guns per class? Am I missing something? The "assault" class with only shotguns is annoying...

The gun selection is very limited but the assault class can use the very effective battle rifles once you unlock them. If you're short of cash, just ride around in a car for ten minutes in Hotwire, you'll be raking it in.
I think I must have played one of those rounds - it is a bit dull but I made about 15k in the game which was more than about 5 rounds of other games (like nicking the money from each other!).

Finish a round with £10,000,000 in your account then a dinosaur and a wolf head unlock. They are be equipped as gadgets so you lose a slot.
Hmm, sounds like something I'll never have then 
Spawning in this game is appalling, it is back to BF2:BC levels - spawning in front of moving cars for instakill, spawning in front of people shooting for instakill, spawning on a teammate who is being shot for instakill.... That kind of thing...

You can see a mini-cam of the selected squad member before you spawn, I'd recommend not selecting one currently participating in a fire-fight
Yup, but mainly they are not shown, obviously in BF4 itself the kill cam now has a warning when they are under fire.ALso, can anyone kill the guys with a green shield with a sword on? I can't. Even stood behind one shooting him with a SCAR, he still turned and instakilled me. In a one on one face to face, I've never even got one below 80% health before I die.. Is it just my super slow broadband?
