Battlefield Hardline cop-killing multiplayer gameplay

Before we get into the new gameplay footage, I would like to put on the record that I am still waiting for my confirmation e-mail from EA saying I have been accepted into the Battlefield Hardline beta trials. Until then, I will enjoy they game vicariously through others.

VG24/7 were among those who got their hands on Hardline’s beta – the PS4 version – and have kindly posted some of the the frenetic gameplay online.

The video, posted below, shows the two teams – one composed of cops, the other of robbers – trying to lay claim to stacks of cash that have fallen from a bank convoy. Grab you squad car and assault rifle and get that cash before you are killed, is the premise of the map, which contains a similar format and play style to Battlefield 4, but on a smaller, urban scale.

Battlefield Hardline is being developed by Visceral Games (Dead Space, Dante’s Inferno) for EA, with more focus to be put on the single-player campaign compared to previous Battlefield games.

Battlefield: Hardline is scheduled to launch on 21 October 2014 for PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360.
