The second Battlefield Hardline beta, which we mentioned earlier this month, will start next week on Tuesday, February 3rd and run until Sunday, February 8th, according to an EA press release. Most notably, the beta introduces a new mode called Hotwire. I recently stopped by EA's offices to play Hotwire, but all press impressions of the mode are under wraps until Monday (so, come back then!).
 
The gist is that both teams have to take control of marked cars, and take down each other's cars—it's all about high-speed chases. That'll be playable on two maps, Downtown and Dust Bowl. The other available mode, Heist, will be playable on the Bank Job map and tasks the criminals with breaking into a vault and shuttling packages to drop off points while the cops, naturally, attempt to stop them.

    I personally can not wait for this! Since it's an open beta I hope everyone at least gives it a chance before saying how bad it is. I really like the idea that Visceral has listened to the community and is using that input to make the game better.

    Hopefully they increased the round tickets for this beta. The last beta rounds went by way too quick, you didn't have that long to test out kits.

    this beta is also gonna test out "hacker mode" where 1 person on each team can hack cameras to better spot enemies and relay info back to teammates.

    I know there are critics that love to bash Battlefield, with some good reason, but I love battlefield. Even with its issues. It is still a fun game. With that said I absolutely loved the previous beta and this one looks even better. I am not going to pre-order but will most likely get the game at some point.

    I loved BF4 after some updates and fixes were finally applied u will await the consumer feedback on how it performs for at least the first week after the full release, and see what the truth is.

    I will miss the beta due to breaking down computers and moving, sadly.
