Battlefield Hardline has enjoyed a on most platforms, though issues experienced by Xbox One owners are being attributed to DDoS attacks.
According to the game's official , the issue has been identified and should hopefully be resolved before too much longer.
"We are aware of connectivity issues on Xbox One. We've got our best on it and hope to resolve soon. Thanks for your patience," developer Visceral tweeted. "We’ve identified the connectivity issues on Xbox One are due to DDoS attack and working to resolve. Apologies for the inconvenience."
For those not aware, a DDoS attack is when someone increases the server load to an extensive level by flooding the network of targeted servers. They become overwhelmed by the pressure and, as such, suffer severe slowdown or even crash entirely. It's often performed by hackers, but doesn't require any real skill to manage.
Additionally, no personal information such as billing information or passwords can be accessed via these attacks, so it's essentially just done out of petty spite.
