Battlefield Hardline DLC Gameplay Update & Release Date: New Maps, Weapons & More Shown in 'Criminal Activity' Screenshots [Photos]
Less than three months since Visceral Games came out with Battlefield: Hardline, fans of the video game are already looking forward to its very first expansion pack.
Officially called "Criminal Activity," the DLC is said to come with new weapons and maps that would sure to excite hardcore players of the title.
According to Battlefield's website, the new multiplayer maps are Code Blue, The Beat, Black Friday and Backwoods. But while the news of additional maps have been announced weeks ago, the game's official website did not show any images.
Battlefield Bulletin, a Twitter page run by fans of the game, uploaded images of the four new locations on its feed. The person behind the Twitter page revealed that the screen shots were from a private video trailer of the new DLC.

The "Code Blue" map looked like a bar or nightclub of some sort. "Backwoods" on the other hand resembles an abandoned facility near a forest or woods, where logging seemed to be the main source of business.
"Black Friday" is a high-end and also abandoned-looking shopping mall with advertisements for products and other endorsements hanging outside its exterior.
For a tough-looking environment, there is "The Beat," which is reminiscent of a run-down town complete with apartment complexes and a gasoline station.
Aside from the four new maps, there will also be three new weapons included in the expansion pack. Another image was posted on Battlefield Bulletin's Twitter feed, which showed a gun of some sort, believed to be part of the weapons list.
New vehicles would also come to the "Criminal Activity" DLC. No word has been made on what type of transportation modes would be seen in the new pack and no image has yet been leaked.
For those looking forward to see an aircraft, Hardline Producer Zach Mumbach already dashed those hopes. The producer was a guest at Don'tReviveMeBro podcast two weeks ago and he revealed that there will be "no planes" on the upcoming DLC.
"I just don't see how to work it into the fiction of what we're doing. I'm not necessarily anti-planes, but when I play Battlefield 4, it just feels like they're fighting each other," said Mumbach.
Premium members will be able to get their hands on "Criminal Activity" DLC in June for free, while other players could purchase it for $15 soon after.
