"Battlefield Hardline" is officially leaving EA's door today, but PC gamers who just couldn't wait to get in the zone and let off a barrage of bullets and do some good old felony were able to download it prior to its much awaited release. 

EA already allowed players to pre-load the game by downloading and installing "Battlefield Hardline" via Origin. Those who still haven't done so can navigate to the My Games tab in Origin and get the game by clicking the tab with the game's title on it. It will then be automatically downloaded after which gamers will be able to play, shoot and kill with a rampaging settee.

However, before downloading, it is important to make sure that the PC to house the Visceral Games-developed first-person shooter video game meets its system requirements.
