** With elements of ''VideoGame/CounterStrike'' and ''VideoGame/PaydayTheHeist''.

* HollywoodCalifornia: Almost every multiplayer location is in California: Los Angeles and South Central. The map "Dust Bowl" is in the California desert, though.

Battlefield Hardline provides examples of:

** When you're on the criminal team, there's a rare chance that you can trigger a special spotting animation where your character flips off the enemy.

*** Two enemies can be seen playing ''{{VideoGame/Dead Space}} 1'', even lampshading how good the [[BFG Line Gun]] is. The game will actually pause when they see the player.

-->'''Player''': [[MemeticMutation Don't taze me bro!!]]"
** When the Syndicate Hacker gives a squad the 'Fast Deployment' upgrade, he may tell them that, "[[LegendOfZelda ...its too dangerous to go alone.]]"
** One of the achievements you can get(from profiling ten criminals in single-player) is called [[WatchDogs "Watched Dawg"]]

** There are lots of ''{{Franchise/Dead Space}}'' references in the game, because they were both developed by Visceral:
*** Two enemies can be seen playing ''{{VideoGame/Dead Space}} 1'', even lampshading how good the [[BFG Line Gun]] is. The game will actually pause when they see the player.
*** A multiplayer map has a Marker statue, another one has an Ishimura shop
*** On the beta, the VanityPlate featured a FreezeFrameBonus where the Ishimura can be briefly seen.
