I tried to tell you the technical test was
A current build of the game, which is why the delay. For those that dont know the state of the technical test was not good....
Forum Discussion
@Brav🤭ne-PC I have to agree. Whether the Technical Test was a latest build or not, the fact they put it in people's hands suggests it's close.
By comparison, TitanFall 2 also did Technical Tests and they were excellent. Some things the community wanted changed. Changes were made in short order and a second Technical Test happened. Again...butter smooth and really sold me on buying the game over Battlefield 1.
It's not a good sign when a Technical Test or Beta shows up with issues, especially in the lead up to launch. There is not enough time at that point to make any significant upgrades before launch.
You might as well call it what it really is...a demo.

1. The technical test was very old.
2. It had a lot of bugs that DICE said we're already fixed for the latest builds even before people saw them.
That is probably the biggest reason as to why there was an NDA in first place so any arguments using those bugs as an example are outright lies.
We knew that it was an old build with problems that were already fixed yet many liars here are trying to say it was the current build at the time.

Hi @Jesse165 ,
Though I have zero sympathy for the folks that have breached their NDA with EA from the playtest and I am much against conspirationists, then I do not think that we should engage either in fighting lies with more lies or unsubstantiated assumptions.
Matter of fact is that EA have not come out with answers to your points number 1 and 2 here above.
So your assumptions are just that. Assumptions.
With regards to the NDA, then that is not the purpose of a NDA. And in any case, it obviously didn't hold back many players from disclosing (blasting out) both videos and commentary of details from the Playtest. It has nothing to do with making them liars or not.
Those of us that were in the Playtest, we saw and observed what we did. Including the date/timestamp of the compiled files.
Suggest we leave it at that.
As should everybody else...
We have now some weeks ahead, where the EA developers can do their magic. It is the end-result that matters.
So fingers crossed that we soon™ will have a magic game in our hands!
To add to what others have said, it's not mutually exclusive to be both apprehensive and positive about the game.
I've got my own worries about a few things, some that might get fixed, some that won't (the auto-locked topic, sliding, gunplay pacing), but i'm also positive about some things (portal, the core game if some of the worries turn out to be false, etc)
Until the game launches though all we can do is speculate, or in the case of during/post beta, give feedback/report bugs and see if things change.
I hope things are going well...
