Kixa Thank god it gives them more time to make the game better.

Probably not. It's probably just a marketing technique to build more hype.

Excuse me? They're not beating their largest competitor to the punch (CoD) and they're missing not one but two holidays that would drastically change sale numbers. This isn't how hype is built, this is how games are polished and made better than their current state.

Battlefield hardline is just a re-skin of BF4. Nothing to be excited about -.-

This is a clear waste of money anyhow.. Big youtubers have been calling for people to boycott it as its just a copy and paste of BF4

I doubt it is a marketing technique. Yes marketing comes into aspect but if they are pushing it back more than 3-4 months into 2015, plus however many months they add to that. It can't be a marketing technique. Marketing technique does not mean push back a finished game 3-4 months or more. That makes them spend lots more money into marketing with more time of no money being made.

EcMxMoAbv4 wow **** dumb why they push it back

"Today we are announcing that Battlefield Hardline will launch in early 2015. Obviously, this is big news, so Id like to address why were making this change.

Back at E3, we launched a beta for Hardline we wanted to not only show you the game, but to let you play it for yourselves. Millions of you jumped in and had a great time. As a result, the Visceral Games team learned a lot from players about what they wanted in the game. Weve been pouring over the data and feedback, and have already been putting a lot of it right into the game and sharing it directly with you.

This feedback also spurred us to start thinking about other possibilities and ways we could push Hardline innovation further and make the game even better. The more we thought about these ideas, the more we knew we had to get them into the game you will all be playing. However, there was only one problem. We would need more time. Time that we didnt have if we decided to move forward with launching in just a couple of months.

We decided that the right thing to do was to take more time to ensure Hardline is the best, most innovative Battlefield experience we can give to you, our fans.

Here are a few of the things the new timing will allow us to accomplish:

1. Multiplayer Innovation: Coming out of our E3 beta, internal focus tests, and work with our community, we have received a lot of great Multiplayer thinking. Were going to be adding some new feature ideas direct from the community that will evolve the cops and criminals fantasy into a truly unique Battlefield Multiplayer experience.

2. Single Player Story Depth: In order to ensure our Single Player experience delivers on player expectations, were spending more time polishing our core features, as well as adding a few new ones that will support a deeper crime revenge story experience.

3. Stability: This has been a focus for our team since day one and were going to be using the extra time to continue to optimize the game for a stable launch. We have learned a lot from Battlefield 4, are continuing to learn from our Community Test Environment and will learn more from another Hardline beta. More time allows us to surface issues that the team can attempt to fix prior to launch.

We are doing all of this for one reason. Because we want Battlefield Hardline to be the best game it can be, and so that we can create the best environment for a smooth launch for our players. We will give you updates on our progress and well regularly share updates along the way viaBattlefield.com/Hardline as well as the Battlefield social channels.

In addition to the ongoing development of Hardline, its important to note that the DICE teams continue to drive Battlefield 4. We continue to explore new opportunities for improvements and we are still releasing new content, including Dragons Teeth, the fourth expansion pack that launches worldwide on July 29, and Final Stand coming later this year. We remain committed to giving you the best BF4 experience possible." -Karl Magnus Troedsson, DICE VP
Not sure why this nor an abbreviated version isn't in the news though.

Even though most everyone else thinks that it was rushed and what not, I was ready for this game and was actually looking forward to it being released!
