"Around two million unique users" participated in theTitanfall (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/xbox-one/action/12333/titanfall/) beta, according to Respawn Entertainment community manager Abbie Heppe.
She told Polygon (http://www.polygon.com/2014/2/21/5433928/what-did-the-titanfall-beta-achieve) that the Xbox One and PC beta enabled Respawn to identify a number of bugs ahead of the game's mid-March release and build ties with what the studio hopes will develop into a long-term fanbase.

Obviously there are things that can change. But you don't want to say, 'oh, no, there will still be problems,' because you don't want to give people a lack of confidence in what you're doing.
"I think that this beta was really about giving people confidence that not only will we be communicative with them, but we're actively trying to work out any bugs now.
"We're still looking for tweaks to certain weapons or other things," Heppe added. "The designers spent a lot of time watching videos and streams of people playing to try and look and see how they were abusing things or not understanding things."
