EA noted that those using machines with 4GB of RAM or less may experience issues with the Battlefield Hardline open beta, as gameplay performance for lower-end PCs is still being optimised. EA suggested closing all other applications while playing the game.

Digital Foundry just published its hands-on with the Battlefield Hardline PC beta, which begins today.
