EA shocked gamers when it announced at E3 Monday that a beta version of its new Battlefield Hardline game is now available.
Battlefield Hardline takes place in modern Los Angeles and transforms the series’ well-worn first-person shooter military gameplay into an enormous game of cops and robbers. A long video of gameplay footage showed players holding pitched shootouts in skyscrapers, ziplining across rooftops and even commandeering a helicopter.
