Original Story:EA has extended the Star Wars Battlefront beta to Tuesday October 13, community manager Matthew Everett announced on the Battlefront blog [http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront/forums/discussion/15/beta-technical-test-details]. A specific end time was not given.

"As we get into the late stages of the beta, we will begin conducting further technical tests on our infrastructure," Everett wrote. "These additional tests will start on Monday, October 12 and will run thru Tuesday, October 13th, which will add an additional day to the open Beta."

Everett stated that the additional tests are intended to help developer DICE find "some extreme scenarios," which may lead to players losing connectivity or being unexpectedly ejected from a game.

The open beta began on October 8, and consists of three different modes: Walker Assault on Hoth is a 40-player game mode, Drop Zone on Sullust is an 8v8, and Survival Mission on Tatooine is a defense mode that can be played either in solo or co-op. Progress during the beta will not carry over into the full game.

Star Wars Battlefront launches on November 17.

I don't even know why they called it a Beta, it's pretty much just a demo. This game releases next month, it's obviously already gone gold. At most they'll fix minor bugs and networking issues.

Regardless, I doubt I'll be spending any more time with this game. I already got a feel for how bare-bones and boring the game was within the first few hours of playing. Makes that leaked alpha of the cancelled Battlefront 3 even more depressing when rewatching it. [https://youtu.be/2WeX41WfOsY]

Still plenty of time to test the networking features more thoroughly.
