Good news:
Caspian Border is open on the servers until the end of the beta period (10th).
SO GET IN THUR!

That's good to hear, though it makes me wonder; what's the point of a beta if it's an older build that you've already fixed the bugs for? I guess a server stress test, but I feel as if the beta is more of a demo.

Mainly stress-testing, netcode testing, and thousands of people playing constantly are likely to find bugs that DICE may have missed. But yea, it's mainly for the servers and all the back-end stuff like hit detection and lag compensation and all that. Personally, that stuff is a bit more important because it directly and constantly affects gameplay, whereas a glitch in an area of a map can be avoided until a patch is put out, and those are usually day-1 patches.
They also balance weapons based on the data they get from people playing the beta.
