Battlefield: Hardline
EA has announced the start of the Battlefield Hardline beta. You can start capturing criminals (or being one) on February 3.
The beta features three maps and three different modes. Included are Hotwire, which offers high-speed chases. You’ll be able to race through the Downtown map and the Dust Bowl. Dust Bowl will be playable in 64-player Conquest mode, also.
Heist, which pits the two sides against each other as criminals try to make off with loot, is also coming. You can play that on the Bank Job map during the beta.
During the beta, you’ll have access to the full progression system of the final version. You can get your fill until February 8 on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC. The game will be out for those systems on March 17.
