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

I've been reading about 'veterans' that got invited to testing BF2042, and I'm really wondering who's getting in and how is determined that they're a veteran. I really get the feeling that nowadays ...

@milkydeathgrind So even after putting emphasis multiple times on the fact that I'm simply worried about feedback (with a good reason, look at for example BF4 and BF1 game launches, they were quite awful), how exactly do you still conclude that I only wanted an invite? I don't even have time to play the game right now.

Did you just only read the OP, or what?

All I'm worried about is: will the game turn out well, and who exactly do 'we' (DICE) call a veteran nowadays, and why.

@infantrypeasant Based on what you are saying it really sounds like you are blaming people who participated in technical test four previous games for the reasoning behind then having Rocky launches. This whole thing is ridiculous anyway and I don't know why you are so concerned with this whole thing unless you truly believe that people who got to play in the technical play test will be responsible for making or breaking the game

@milkydeathgrind I am definitely worried that the audience that's testing the games is not suitable for testing and doesn't provide good enough feedback. 100%.

  Hey folks, just a reminder to keep replies on-topic and respectful.
  
  No need to start directing comments at each other instead of providing feedback, thanks.

  @infantrypeasant But this was a technical play test, simply being on line will help in that test.
  
  Running around the map will help in that test.
  
  Having issues getting online will even help in that test.
  
  Your KD or how a weapon/vehicle is balanced has nothing to do with that test!
  
  The Beta is the first real opportunity for the 'community' to 'test' gameplay really.
