Then can you call this a beta? What is the user testing if they've moved on from this version already?
You should know by now BETAs are very rarely BETAs in the traditional term.
They're more a marketing tool that will also collect feedback.
However dont expect any drastic changes to make it to release, I guess post release patches may address things.

Server capacity, weapon balancing, stress testing, level design. Very rarely is a beta from the latest batch of code.

I've never played a beta that wasn't far from the game on launch. They'll probably release the game broken and patch it later.

I watched people play this on twitch and it was like someone had a gun to their head forcing them to play.

Which is something I alluded to pages back. We may very well have a Battlefront 2 situation. Only question is how long will it take for everything to be fine tuned for it to be playable?

Don't know how different the UI is on the consoles, but I'm playing on PC and this looks like dog shyt. It's just too much, and too large. Preferred the cleaner BF5 look.

Fortunately the performance isn't as bad as others are reporting. Averaging around 90FPS playing 1440P on mostly medium settings with a few on high (3060TI, I5 10600K)

As someone that prefers much smaller, more intimate, less vehicle dependent maps... this one may not be for me.

I gotta play around with the settings then give it another shot

I don’t like the specialists system. I miss being able to identity a player and knowing what type of utility they bring. If I see a support guy, I know he has ammo pouch or crate. If see a medic, I know they can rez’ their squad.

Yea that shyt is so weird. Why can you run around with any kit regardless of specialist?

The game glitched for me yesterday and I saw a whole row of characters you can choose from at the bottom of the screen in the respawn menu. It looked like at least 15. Wish I screenshotted
