It's an open beta, meaning you did not have to apply or register--just download the game on your preferred service. The beta will be running until February 8 on PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox One Xbox 360.
EA has provided instructions for downloading on each platform, whether it's Origin, PSN, or Xbox Live. The beta includes three games modes called Conquest, Heist, and Hotwire and three maps named Bank Job, Dust Bowl, and Downtown.

A recent trailer, which you can watch below, outlines the general concept of the game and the various roles you can occupy on your team. These have different loadouts and abilities, and a good mix (like most squad-based shooters) will make it easier to win. There's also a zipline crossbow, which looks about as cool as it sounds.
There seems to be quite a few abilities and pieces of equipment to mix up the gameplay and provide solutions to a variety of scenarios. There are some maps that involve going up into tall buildings, for example, and I can imagine the grappling hook and zipline become very useful there.
