The public CTE will give the development studio a new test bed to throw out new ideas and solutions to current issues, and DICE already has plans for the first test. According to the blog announcement, that will be netcode, which is what the player experiences with the game world including player-to-player interactions like damage registration. This involves tweaking to the “tickrate” servers and networking in general.
"By launching this new program, not only will we be able to address player feedback at an early stage, but also increase the overall quality of the game. We are excited to explore the possibilities together with you."
You can read up on more of the CTE initiative including how to gain access through DICE's latest blog post.

Does anyone else find it insane that about 6 months after launch of a AAA title they are releasing essentially a closed beta to get the game to work?
The most annoying thing is, this isn't being done for BF4, it's being done for future games. If it was for BF4, when on earth would the game be fixed?
People need to really speak out and take EA and DICE to task on this. It is not acceptable to release a broken product. Then take this long to try and address it. Where the best case scenario is that if they do fix the game, it'll be after it's life span and right before the next game in the franchise comes out in Oct.

They know exactly where the problem lies, but they haven't talked about raising the tick rate to at least 100. They also haven't explained the technical reasons behind why they can't. Kinda over EA/DICE and their dangling carrot game. - If the rego ever gets fixed and is verified by normal players, I'll reinstall then. As for EA, I'm doing a format tonight and only Steam + Battlenet will be making their way back on, and it'll feel like I've kicked a drug habit.

Unfortunately that will not happen because the bulk of the gaming community aren't willing to meaningfully declare, "We deserve better."
