We decided to take a look.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Battlefield Hardline<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yWVPoUCxAC4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The military is <em>so last year<\/em>. 2015\u2019s <em>Battlefield<\/em> instalment focuses on cops and robbers, pitting the two against each other in a series of tight street battles over drugs and other naughtiness.<\/p>\n<p>This shift in focus means <em>Hardline<\/em> offers a slightly different experience to your standard FPS, with smaller maps and new game modes based on apprehending robbers as they try to carry out a heist (and vice versa).<\/p>\n<p>It certainly won\u2019t be for everyone, but <em>Hardline<\/em> is a nice change for people who don\u2019t want to stray <em>too <\/em>far from the comfort of <em>Battlefield\u2019s<\/em> military-based fun.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Battlefield 4<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wJ_F525yHVY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Battlefield 4 <\/em>is military warfare for the tactics connoisseur, demanding teamwork and planning to achieve victory. In return, it lets you command tanks and helicopters and bear witness to some weirdly beautiful environmental destruction.<\/p>\n<p>The enhanced specs of the PS4 and Xbox One means <em>Battlefield 4<\/em> is even bigger than its predecessor, with the potential to play epic 64 player matches. If big battles are your kind of thing, <em>Battlefield<\/em> will be right up your street.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer quick run-and-gun gameplay, however, the slower pace of <em>Battlefield <\/em>may not appeal. The campaign is pretty weak too.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sFu5qXMuaJU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>At this point, most people know whether or not they like <em>Call of Duty<\/em> and <em>Advanced Warfare<\/em> is unlikely to change anyone\u2019s opinion either way. It\u2019s pretty much more of the same.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of key differences though, with the introduction of an exo-suit that allows you to boost-jump and sprint faster the main one.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s not a lot that can be done about <em>Call of Duty<\/em>\u2019s biggest problem; other players. People still exploit the game for all its worth and will still swear at you like a sailor who\u2019s stubbed his toe if you dare to ruin their game in any way. But it\u2019s all part of the experience, we suppose!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s probably worth bearing in mind that a new <em>COD<\/em> will be out in 8 months\u2019 time too&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Tired of your console?

It\u2019s essentially <em>Halo <\/em>mixed with <em>Warcraft<\/em>, with players embarking on various quests to gather various trinkets that\u2019ll make their player slightly more powerful.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, it\u2019s scarily addictive \u201d\u201c especially if you\u2019ve got a few friends willing to play it often as well. The story is fairly poor, the deathmatch modes aren\u2019t as good as <em>COD <\/em>or <em>Battlefield<\/em> and the raids and missions can be fairly dull too; yet you won\u2019t be able to stop. We haven\u2019t decided whether that\u2019s a good thing or a bad thing yet.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Titanfall<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3FPtT4C870c\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Titanfall<\/em> was hyped to the heavens before its release but seems to have disappeared from the public consciousness with little more than a wimper.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a shame, really, because <em>Titanfall <\/em>is a uniquely brilliant game. You control either a pilot, a nimble little fella with guns and sweet parkour skills, or a Titan, an armed-to-the-teeth robotic behemoth, with the ability to switch between the two mid-match.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the game just doesn\u2019t seem to have caught on. The abuse of the overpowered smart pistol might explain that slightly or perhaps it\u2019s just too different from the comforts of <em>Call of Duty<\/em>; either way, the servers are a lot quieter than other games in the genre. It\u2019s still worth checking out though.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Evolve<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/63BJB9bECB0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Evolve<\/em> pits 4 players controlling hunters against 1 player controlling a ridiculously powerful monster. However, that monster starts off weak and gradually gets more powerful, meaning the player controlling the monster has to bide their time until they\u2019re strong enough to attack.<\/p>\n<p><em>Evolve <\/em>is an FPS that values tactics and teamwork over all else, even more than so than <em>Battlefield<\/em>. As such, it\u2019s not quite as exciting as <em>Call of Duty<\/em> but it is a lot more rewarding. The unique setting makes a nice change from smouldering warzones too.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Which is your favourite next-gen FPS?
