Why just Orbital?

This question has been bugging me since the Beta. Why just Orbital? EA/DICE announced that they were ahead of schedule and development was and is going pretty good. But then why was Beta, just ...

    @TheFireOfTitan Because the beta wasn't about testing how a certain map flow runs or balances. It was to gather intel on what we think of the overall large aspects of the game.
    Like UI - which they have changed around a lot from our feedback.

    Separating it all to 3 maps and 3 gamemodes wouldn't have done much outside actually making it into a demo (a demo of an old version of a game that is not yet fully done yet).

    Have to remember the beta wasn't just for us but more so for the dev team. We help make this game better running a beta.

@FawKa I would agree with this, but I guess you're missing my point.

Why would they give out a broken build that is incomplete knowing people will compare it to the final product. Did they think that Conquest/All Out Warfare is more anticipated that other modes?

And I agree, beta is only for testing the flow and server loads. But they did find multiple issues with the map itself as well. I hope the other maps are well tested.

And other modes too.

It just feels odd for them to deliberately give out a broken build if other stuff was ready already.

@TheFireOfTitan Yea I absolutely agree with you that the beta was a build that was too old.

A lot of the obvious bugs had already been fixed and I do wonder why it had to be THAT old as well - I give you that haha
