Battlefield: Hardline

To be frank, we want you to play this [Battlefield] beta to death. We need you to. This test is only going to make the game stronger, and help us take a look at ways we can ensure we deliver the most stable launch you deserve.

Visceral Games manager Steve Papoutsis wants you to overkill. Recently details of a beta version of Battlefield: Hardline made its way onto the Interweb.

The Battlefield Hardline beta is open to everyone across all platforms–PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. This beta will be Visceral’s second as their first beta version of Hardline came out on PS4 and PC in June last year. Since then the game has been delayed from its first slated release date in a means to inject more innovation to gameplay. And with the second beta coming out soon, Hardline will be hard tested and all the data required from the coming stress-test will surely be useful in helping Visceral formulate immersive gameplay.

In Hardline it’s about Cop, Robbers and cold hard cash and the criminal enterprise. Choose a side, and lead your team. Save hostages. Or get rich from heists. Either way it’s not going to be a walk in the park. Do we see a formidable antithesis to GTA: Online Heists?
