The Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta will be a phase of development of Halo 5: Guardians. It will take place from December 29, 2014 to January 18, 2015, and will be accessible through Halo: The Master Chief Collection.[1][2]

The beta will only be a small segment of Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer and will focus on 4 vs. 4 arena gameplay with equal starts, meaning no loadouts.[2] The beta will also feature all-new Spartan abilities, which are base player mechanics like dual-wielding or boarding.[3][4][5]

Players can provide feedback on the beta through the Halo Channel.[2]

Content

Maps

The beta will include seven small maps optimized for eight players.[2]

Gametypes

The beta will include three gametypes.[2]

Weapons

The beta will include eleven usable weapons.[2]

Armor Sets

The beta will include seven sets of wearable Spartan armor.[2]

Trivia

  • 343 Industries is making the beta very early in the game's development so that they can make actual changes to the gameplay, such as weapon tuning and movement speed, before its release.[6]
  • Some content unlocked in the multiplayer beta will carry over into the final game.[2]

Notes

  1. This mode name has been constantly confused with the map Breakout in fan and official reports. This can be best seen in video versus the official page. As such, the name of the mode is not certainly clear and could change at anytime. The name choices are based off of Halo Waypoint's page stating the map name.
