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.

To sign up for the PlayStation 4 and PC beta, visit [battlefield.com/beta](http://battlefield.com/beta "undefined").

The final game will be released for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and the PC on October 21.
