Re: I tried to tell you the technical test was

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.

    @OskooI_007Judging by their comments, there are many on here that should applying and be able to do that job blind folded.

    The amount of unemployed and/would be game developers on here is astounding!

    New positions open up or people move around. This is normal in the gaming industri. @OskooI_007

    Would be terrible if you where not allowed to change position until project is done.
