User blog comment:Awyman13/Visceral wants to continue developing Battlefield if Hardline is a Success/@comment-173.80.239.48-20150331155424/@comment-5124635-20150331162920

For one thing, most of these comments are from before release. For another thing, bugs and balance issues are pretty minimal, and this is before any patches to the game. Battlefield 3, and to a greater extent Battlefield 4 had far, far more bugs and issues at launch, so it's a large improvement. Most people would agree that this game is much less rushed then the previous two. Sure, you can boost points just by driving a car, but that doesn't really ruin the game for the rest of us.

Also, Freeze really isn't that powerful, except on easy difficulties. The player rarely has backup walking right behind him, and on Veteran difficulty the player can't arrest two suspects at once without being shot.

No one is making you play or enjoy the game if you don't want to, and posting here isn't complaining to EA anyway.
