[COD] Betas should be every weekend until a game has mostly positive reception

I don't understand why we're still only having two weekend betas one being pre order only and the other being open to see how the community and other players feel about the game when the reception can still be mixed even after them and we just have to hope they make enough fixes by the time the game launches without being able to test them.

Just have a beta every weekend until most players are relatively fine with the game and there won't be much that needs to be changed before launch and the game won't launch with a lot of people disappointed and annoyed at how it plays.

Wouldn't this make more sense?

At this point just have the games be early access (as if they aren't already)

Taking feedback from a beta and implementing it doesn’t just magically happen in a week. You have to compile bug reports, crash reports, player feedback, and server issues all into useable data for the devs, who then have to go and actually fix those things, all while working on known bugs and stuff not included in the beta to prep for launch. If you just run tests every week all you’re doing is collecting massive amounts of data that aren’t gonna be useful and still not getting to all the stuff that needs to be fixed.

The real issue is that these games need longer development cycles, but people keep showering them with cash every year regardless of quality so they have no incentive to actually let the devs work on things for as long as they need

Impractical and would waste resources maintaining a live beta build when the team should be working on the game.

The game already had positive reception. 🤣😂 it just seems like people hate it cause all the haters are in one group on the internet hating about it.

That’s literally an insane request you are asking

After seeing the beta numbers I'm hoping this year is gonna be more concerning but time will tell.

Yeah I mean looking at the beta numbers it took them one weekend to lose all interest

CLOSED beta beat out open beta by small margin but the open beta also had warzone so I don't think the game has positive reception at all aside from the review bombing lmfao.

In fact, it seems like this beta alone has the worst reception if not one of the worst

Feelings are not facts.
