Battlefield Hardline has been completed in its initial development as the game developer heads to factories for its mass production and digital shelves. Seven million testers were included in the recently concluded beta testing. 

The most popular shooter game has reached "gold" which means that they are now ready for its mass production though it's still weeks before its officialy release next month.

Gamespot tweeted hours ago that 'Battlefield has reached gold. However, though it is a good news for players, this has not been the case as some players immediately gave negative feedbacks. They mentioned about Call of Duty's gold guns, thus, saying that they don't need another gold guns for the game. One tweet said, "Just another reason not to buy this game. Bring gold camos to battlefield so call of duty players can still have gold guns," others gave their comments about the possible waste of money if they would purchase pre-orders of the game. One tweet said, "People stop pre-ordering."

Fans seem unsatisfied with the news that Visceral Games announced though it was supposedly good news. So far, the game developer remained silent with these rants from people in their Twitter account. 

Meanwhile, seven million testers were managed to include in the recently concluded open beta testing of the shooter game a week ago. In preparation for the next month's official release, they have included much more improvements with the series of changes made from feedbacks from the gamers. The changes included the game's weapons and more.

According to Gamespot, reaching gold level is an important stepping stone for any game devleopment. This title will remain until its initial release by March 17.

EA and Visceral Studios expressed their gratitude to testers for the success of the beta testing late last week. They said in a statement, "I'll tell you what we think: we think "wow." Over 7 million players jumped in for some Hardline-flavored action. That's an insane amount - far more than we expected. And you know what? We handled it."

Based from their analysis from the  gamers' feedbacks, metrics, and data, they will not be "sweeping changes and upsetting the apple cart" but they already have a collective vision for the game to be expressed. Part of the exciting thrill of the game is the 10-hour game length that gamers will enjoy. With the 10 hours of gaming, there is a promise of no additional restrictions.

There will be a multiplayer maps and game modes that will availab ein EA Access trial version of Hardline. Unfortunately, the single-player mode will only be limited to the prologue and first chapter. At the end of the trial, the participants will be given a Hardline themed Xbox One console [only in US promotions].

EA Access is a subscription costing around $5 (4.99) per month or $30 (29.99) per annum. If users will subscribe, they will have a chance to get new titles like Hardline and a percent discount on all EA game digital purchases from the Xbox Store and can play The Vault's growing game lists.

Battlefield Hardline will be released on March 17 in PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC. The schedule was moved from its original launching date October last year, but EA needed more time for its innovations to give the best gaming experience for the players worldwide.
