Checking In with Battlefield Hardline Beta (PS4) – 2/3/15

We take a look at the new beta for Battlefield Hardline’s multiplayer mode, which features two new modes that were not in the “Alpha” that we played last summer around E3 2014. The first is a version of conquest called Hotwire that requires you to capture and drive certain vehicles around to lower the other team’s tickets until they reach zero. The other mode is a 64-player version of Conquest, which is the most popular Battlefield mode of mayhem and capturing points on the map. The beta is probably done by the time you see this, but the game itself will be out on PC (Origin), PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on March 17 with a single-player mode made by Visceral Games, makers of Dead Space, while DICE has a team working on the multiplayer modes while the rest of the team focuses on Star Wars Battlefront for this fall.
