Of course, the final game will have a ton of maps to blast through, but it's a shame that this beta test only features the Sinai Desert one.

While DICE stated that the beta was largely to stress-test the servers above all else and therefore shouldn't be considered a demo as such, it still seems rather stingy that players weren't able to get the feel for a second map, which might make the game seem more worthy of a purchase.
