Forget about the gameplay itself, we all obviously want to play it. My main reasoning is to see how the game will launch on dedicated servers, and how we will be able to connect to games efficiently. We all know how the MCC turned out in terms of connecting to games at launch… In my opinion it would be incredibly beneficial for 343i to release another Beta to test out the dedicated server connections (say within a month or so) and if need be, still have 2-3 months to tweak any problems with connectivity and have the game perfect for the launch.

The fact that you mentioned MCC’s launch tells me you can’t tell the difference that H5 does not have four different titles with different servers. H5’s launch will be the same like every other game in the industry that’s been released

This. I understand the want to play, because I do as well, but they don’t need to. They already have the Beta before test the dedicated servers. They don’t have the same companies/teams working on the Halo 5. This isn’t enough of a reason to play a beta again.
that being said. I’d love one.

Of course i recognise the differences between 4 games, and 1. My point with that is I feel 343 owe the community big time still for how bad the MCC was (put aside the fact the whole game was done by other developers)
I believe it would show the community they are 100% committed to getting this game perfect for the launch date, and could potentially avoid any debacles at launch.

No. How many games have you seen done multiple betas? Unfortunately for you, one beta is good enough. 343 doesn’t “owe us” anything. They’ve already given us free DLC, future betas for future Halo titles, what the hell else do you guys want? And MCC’s launch was bad, but after they fixed it in March, everyone else saying it was still broken, had personal problems. Game works fine just for me and has been for the past few months
Halo 5’s beta had a slight hiccup in the very early goings, then ran flawlessly after that. MCC’s been riddled with problems from the start and probably still has problems (Still can’t play with any of my friends in Australia ><)
I doubt that Halo 5 will have those same problems. It will likely have some, but I doubt they’ll be as crippling as the first months of the MCC were for it.

Fair enough, just an idea
It takes a lot of time and manpower to set up a beta - it is simply not uploading a WIP for the public to play. That effort is better put to polishing the game.
Come on guys, we don’t want to violate the labour and human rights of the good people of 343 like EA does.
So much additional beta talk today! It won’t happen, and doesn’t need to.
