Get A Behind The Scenes Look At The Halo 5: Guardians Beta

You've read our hands-on preview of the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta. Now, hear from the 343 Industries team on their thoughts on building Halo for a new generation.

In the new Halo 5 ViDoc below, you'll get a feel for how the game has been tested leading up to the multiplayer beta. With an in-house team of professional caliber players and daily developer matches, 343 is hopeful for success on December 29.



Of course, a true beta isn't just about whether the servers stay up. As we mentioned in our hands-on preview and interview, the team will be collecting data for map and weapon balancing. That under- or over-powered weapon, cramped or too open map, and more are subject to significant changes before Halo 5: Guardians launches in 2015.

The beta arrives on December 29 and will last three weeks. For more, check out our rundown of the major changes arriving alongside the first native Xbox One Halo game.
