Re: So who are these 'veterans' that get invites to the playtest?

First, these are the qualifications for a "veteran" status in the franchise:

"Battlefield Veteran is a rewards scheme for owners of various installments in the Battlefield Series. It is currently calculated by adding the number of all an owner's registered games together minus one. This does not include demos, betas, expansions and booster packs, although they can still be registered for show."

Now with that in mind, it does not automatically grants you an access to the playtest. Like previously mentioned by others - you also have to signup to the EA playtest website. As this is EA's general playtest location and not particular to the BF franchise, you will occasionally get invited to random beta tests of other games. EA also likely granted access to 2042's technical playtest to active Answers HQ members. It also helps if you clocked many hours playing other BF games in the past as it shows you are a true fan of the franchise and not a casual gamer who wants to literally just "play" the latest (vs. testing technical aspects and reporting back with bugs).

/salute.

    Just to add to Rouvio's point, I started with 1942 as well along with 6 IRL friends, we've kept in touch and generally used BF as our rally point as we were spread across the globe at various times, we have all bought each title as it came out over the years with the exception of me and one one other who didn't get hardline, and each of us have at *least* 5k+ hours in the franchise by now, and all of us were signed up for testing long before 2042 was even announced, and all pre-ordered 2042 when we found out about portal.

    *One* of us got a invite to the tech test apparently out of the blue, and seeing as time spent/skill level is about the same across the board, I'd say it being a "conspiracy" is a touch far-fetched.

    Then again, the ones that didn't get invited didn't complain either.
