Battlefield Hardline is getting a ‘Community Test Environment’ on PC

Go test things I haven’t heard much buzz from people regardingBattlefield Hardline— I think a lot of people were burned out after how brokenBattlefield 4was (myself included). Overall though I find it to be a serviceable shooter, and go back every so often on the Xbox One for a few rounds or so while I wait for another game to come out.
