EA are currently giving out beta invites to BF Hardline.
Click the image and fill in your info if your interested.
The game will show up in your Origin account if you get in, be warned though as it's a 6.7GB downoad.

I'm loving it so far, nice to change it up with cops n robbers even if it is just capture the flag with money instead.
One nice touch is the ability to buy weapons/gadgets on the fly. Points = cash this time

Its ok atm. Shouldve been more of an expac to BF4 then a separate game. Plays pretty good for a beta too.

Someone already has a vid of it hacked and aimbotting already.

Well this one is by a different company, Visceral.
Think of Hardline as the gap-year title usually held by Medal of Honor.

As for hacks it doesn't surprise me, some people just have no skill/morals.
I should point out though that punkbuster isn't active on any of the servers as of yet.
There's also a patch due out today so lets wait n see.

Should be fun as Hardline is due out on the 23rd of October and Borderlands the pre-sequel the week before.

That's a bit of an over-reaction to a one level bug-testing beta........

I think the message is quite clear however. BF4 has not been a significant upgrade on BF3. Graphically and gameplay wise there has been very little innovation in a series that has been applauded for its innovation over CoD.

Though it's been confirmed that the BF series is not becoming an annual, it is a bit ridiculous not only paying for the game, but the rest of the game as well (premium), and effectively charging you double the price. I received both BF4 and Premium as gifts last year, but at this point I certainly wouldn't be considering buying another BF game.

While Hardline looks like a bit of fun, its BF4 with a funny new game mode.

Honestly I find it quite pathetic to carry on the way the guy in the video did based on one level.
If it was the full game fair enough, but it isn't.
And who's to say that this is the final product anyway?
It probably is judging by the BF3 beta and the final game but still.
Yet we will still have a campaign to go with it and whatever else is included.

And lets not forget the fact that no one is being forced to buy anything or owed anything by Dice/EA either.

Personally I'm having a whale of a time playing BF3 on PC right now which is still very, very popular contrary to what PCGamer would have you believe. And I'm sure that has to do with it being free last month too but who's complaining.
