Are you uncontrollably jealous of all the folk playing cops and robbers, ziplining across skyscrapers, speeding around on motorcycles and shooting people in their silly faces? Don’t fret – you can get instant access to the Battlefield: Hardline beta right now.

The whole thing is quick and painless, unless you are averse to Origin.

All you need to do to get into the beta is go here, type in your date of birth (mine’s today, by the way, so send me presents or something) select PC and then log in with your Origin account. You can then jump onto Origin and start downloading the 6GB file.

Nice and simple.

If you want to play with groovy people, why don’t you put out a call in our forums and see who is up for a couple of hours of ziplining and murder? You might even end up shooting me in the face. You lucky devils.

Even if you’d rather wait for the game to release before jumping in, it’s worth signing up for some beta goodies:

Weapon camo/skin in Battlefield Hardline

Weapon sight in Battlefield Hardline

Additional Battlefield Hardline content

Unique dog tag in Battlefield 4

All the Hardline content will unlock when the game launches on October 21st, while the Battlefield 4 dog tag will unlock next month. Not a bad haul for signing up. There are also a couple of beta challenges which, upon completion, give you more swag when the game comes out.

If you reach rank 10 in the beta, you’ll get a special Battlepack, while enabling Facebook sharing will reward you with $1,000 in in-game cash.
