Character Bios:

• Nick Mendoza
Newly christened Miami detective Nick is from the wrong side of the tracks, the first legitimately employed member of his family for generations. Nick’s a loner, a crusader, and is determined to make his way to the top of the pile. His making detective is validation that he’s left behind the man he feared he might become.

• Marcus “Boomer” Boone
After a few tours in Iraq as an intelligence analyst, Boomer came home and started applying the skills he learned from Uncle Sam to the criminal trade, acting as an IP specialist for a variety of nefarious characters. Though he’s a gray-hat hacker, Boomer really wants to be one of the good guys and his old friend Khai gives him that chance.

• Julian Dawes
Known for picking young cops out of the ranks and shaping them into star detectives, Dawes’s office has been a place of tutelage and gentle idolatry for a generation of Miami’s finest. Blessed with a politician’s charisma and a forensic scientist’s eye, Dawes is clearly grooming himself for the top brass.

• Khai Minh Dao
A first-generation Vietnamese-American who hails from outside LA, Khai turned her back on the west coast and a rebellious youth to put a star on her chest. Rising quickly through the ranks, she’s established herself to her fellow officers and the usual underworld suspects as a smart, able detective who isn’t afraid to let her temper take over.

• Tyson Latchford
Tyson spent his youth slinging cocaine, but has evolved into an upper middle-class criminal who spends more time with spreadsheets than scales and gram bags. His job is to make sure the drugs get to where they’re supposed to go; after that it’s somebody else’s problem. When he’s not working, Tyson imagines himself taking up golf.

Prologue & Episode 1: Back to School

Welcome to the Battlefield Hardline walkthrough!

Here Scott will be your voice-over commentator guiding you around the game’s areas.

– Prologue: Nick Mendoza is Miami Police Department’s newest. His first day In Vice with his new partner, Detective Stoddard, will prove to be rather challenging.

– Episode 1 (starts at 6:50 minutes): While heading out to track down a local tough guy, Nick gets to know his new partner.

Tip: Flash your badge with the left shoulder button to freeze a suspect. Keep your weapon trained on the suspect to maintain control. If left uncovered the suspect’s Alert meter will begin to fill.

Episode 2: Checking Out

A healing Khai and angry Nick set out to get to the bottom of who is attacking the local underground.

Tip: Non-lethally taking down a criminal with an open Warrant yields greater rewards. Scan and analyze suspects to confirm open Warrants. Suspects with Warrants are listed in the Pause Menu.

Episode 3: Gator Bait

Nick and Khai adjust to work outside the city, following up on a tip that leads them further up the criminal food chain. – Coke is pouring into Miami and Leo “Sting” Ray knows who’s holding the bucket. Time to find out what the scumbag knows.

Part 2 of Episode 3:

Tip: The best equipment in the game is unlocked by raising your Expert Level rating. Each new level unlocks a new category of weapons, gadgets or attachments.

Episode 4: Case Closed

Suspecting corruption in the police force, Nick and Khai continue their investigation as time is running out. – It’s clear that Detective Carl Stoddard is dirty. What’s less clear is who else is on the take and covering his back.

Part 2 of Episode 4:

Hint: Last known position tracking. Enemies will search the last place they’ve seen or heard you, indicated by an orange circle on the map. A questionmark “?” icon will appear above the head of anyone looking for you. Hide from or evade enemies while they search. They will look elsewhere if they cannot find you.

Episode 5: Gauntlet

Nick copes with changed circumstances and is helped by some old friends from his past. – It’s been almost three years since Nick Mendoza was convicted of a crime he didn’t commit, but the wounds are still raw.

Gameplay Tip: If you remain outside of the operational boundary, you will fail your current assignment.
