It’s ‘not just for fun’

The way I see it, it wouldn’t beBattlefieldwithout a beta. In recent years, I’ve transitioned into becoming more of a casual player of the series and, like withBattlefield 3, my experience with the new game, at least early on, might be entirely based on what’s in theBF4beta.
