First Battlefield Hardline Beta Details Revealed
Visceral has announced the first details about the upcoming Battlefield Hardline beta, including the fact it'll be available to everyone on all platforms and you'll be able to play as both cops and criminals.
A blog post from the game's executive producer Steve Papoutsis explains the beta will be on PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, and also reveals there won't be a cap on the max progression level you can achieve, meaning you can unlock as many classes and gadgets as you can.
"While it's just a taste of the whole game, we want you to come in, take your jacket off, stay awhile," he writes. "There won't be a cap on the max progression level so whether you’re busting criminals or fleeing the cops, unlock away. The beta is your shot to test the different classes, toy with different gadgets, and find your crew to take down your foes.
"To be frank, we want you to play this 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."
Unfortunately, the one thing missing from the post is when the beta actually kicks off, but hopefully it won't be too much longer. Hardline is due out in March. At Tokyo Game Show this year, Visceral Games' Ian Milham spoke with IGN at length about Hardline's delay. Given Battlefield 4's troublesome launch, EA is adamant that Battlefield Hardline will work properly at launch.
