On Monday, February 9th at 9:00 AM PT, we will be releasing a PC Patch for the Battlefield Hardline Open Beta. Deploying this patch and will cause the game to be down temporarily on PC.



Based on your feedback, we’ve tuned several weapons, rounds, faction loadouts, and gadgets that we need your help to test during the last day of beta. As this was a quick turnaround for our development team, we are unable to deploy the patch to consoles. Worry not as all feedback, suggestions, and tweaks will be considered for all platforms.



February 9th Hardline Beta PC Patch Notes:



Weapons Tuning:

- 870P Magnum effective range reduced

- M16 m416 damage lowered and increased recoil

- RO933 reduced recoil and reduced damage

- Uzi increased hip fire accuracy

- P90 increased spread

- Swapped M/45 and G36c to cops

- Swapped UMP and M416 to criminals

- Reduced effective range .338 magnum rounds

- Reduced 9mm damage Reduced 556x45mm damage (Assult rifles and smgs)

- Reduced Spas 12 damage

- Fixed bug with magnum round recoil where people were losing kills



Gadget Tuning:

- Reduced the cooldown time of the med and ammo packs

- Increased the resupply time for Breaching Charges



NVIDIA® Optimus™ Support:

- If you have a NVIDIA® Optimus™ technology video card in your laptop, the PC patch includes updates targeted specifically for your video card



These changes will not be reflected on Battlelog during the Open Beta, which means that weapon stats for example will appear unchanged until the launch of the game.



We hope you enjoy the changes. Let us know what you think by providing your feedback here on the BFH forums!
