Yeah, EA definitely pushed Titanfall out before it was ready. It's a shame too, it would have been much bigger for Xbox One if EA had let Respawn finish it.

It depends how you see it:
1. Ea released the game during months when sales for Xbox One were not too great, to gain sales Ms marketed Titanfall heavily benefits for Ea less money they need to spend and besides that they got money from Ms so its a win win situation for them. Moreover they released the game when there was no competition giving it more shelf life, I am sure black friday will have titanfall as a deal and many will buy. By releasing a game which had content but not too much Ea had an option to add more content later which might and will bring back few players and will let them enjoy Titanfall again. Due to the late releasing content gaming websites will give more coverage to a game which released months back and people will buy it because now it has more content and more reasons to buy it is even cheap.
2. On the other hand if they would have given more development time we would have seen a better Titanfall the launch would have been accompanied with more content all these modes and maybe more weapons better story leading to overall better game. It would release some where in August I guess with all these features, if Microsoft had given it right amount of advertising the game could have done some solid numbers.
I think biggest mistake was to hold back 360 version the game could have sold great numbers on 360 if it had got right amount of attention.
