Why? There is a group of "elite" community members that had a say in the development of COH3.
There is/was only so much that we can do. The closed group is really a courtesy. We have little direct impact on the development of the game because we're not the manager or SEGA telling Relic employees what to do. Of course, I don't want to say more than I'm allowed, but we were always pushing to make the multiplayer more fun and to make players want to come back.
There are many things I'd change and priorities I'd like to have switched around but it seems that SEGA wouldn't tolerate another delay.
