Given how things went with bf 3 AND 4 alpha + beta to final release, I wouldn't put anything past DICE/EA....
Hardline had potential, all visceral had to do was listen to the community and act quickly instead Visceral put on the good act of listening to "youtubers/community" for the alpha and beta to show they care and all the other usual jazz so that they could cash in on the pre-orders, come the final release.... where were they with all the complaints about the god awful netcode/hit reg., OP weapons, insanely quick TTK made even worse by the OP weapons i.e. k10 and netcode, OP commander etc. etc. for about the first 4+ months? IIRC, it took them 6 months to implement all the netcode/hit reg. fixes that BF 4 had. Likewise for battlefront, utterly broken balance that was pointed out in the alpha AND beta yet come final release, it wasn't fixed, once again we had to wait months for the issues to be addressed.
Don't get me started on the bf 3-4 alpha/beta to final release fiasco either... It was even worse.
No matter how good the bf 1 alpha/beta is, I still won't buy it until a day or so after final release. Absolutely no point in pre-ordering games unless you got a good price, want the physical collectors item or/and have crappy internet where it will take you forever to dll.
The only promising thing about hardline and battlefront on release day was that there were very few issues, don't think we had any CTD, server crashes and the performance was great too.
If the ronku whores really wanted the game to release the way the community and themselves would like in a stable state then they should be urging their "following" to not pre-order and wait until release day, a bit like what anderzel is doing, this is the only way we can be guaranteed that DICE/EA will do their best to make the game as good as what the community would like on day 1 or at least within the first week or 2.... Make them earn their money! If people did this and IF the game was released in a broken state or/and utterly broken balance, DICE/EA can't afford to hang around for months, they would have to pull their finger out and get the game fixed within weeks, if not days if they want to make money.
