The focus of the beta was on small maps with 4v4 arena gameplay. A notable difference to ''Halo 4'' was the absence of custom [[loadout]]s; every player started with identical equipment.{{Ref/Reuse|gamescom trailer}} A notable addition in the beta were the new [[Spartan abilities]], which will replace the [[armor abilities]] from the previous games in ''Halo 5: Guardians''. 343 Industries described the beta as traditional in that it would be used for the intended purpose of beta testing and gathering feedback for a game still in progress, as opposed to merely showcasing a largely finished product for marketing reasons.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k96NK5moXyg '''YouTube''': ''Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta: Behind the Scenes'']</ref>

==List of permutations==
==Armory Unlocks==
During the ''Halo 5'' beta, the player could unlock armor permutations for their Spartan. Most armor was unlocked by ranking up with the beta's XP system, however, four sets of armor were unlocked through achievements in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', and by watching ''[[Halo: Nightfall]]'' on the Halo Channel. Barring [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI Gen1]], Mark VI Gen1 - Scarred, [[Nightfall armor|Nightfall]], and [[HELIOSKRILL-class Mjolnir|Helioskrill]], no armor from the beta transferred to ''Guardians''' final release.
During the Beta the player could unlock armor. The armor unlocked was not transferable to the final version.
