On September 30, 2015 the closed beta started, and on [[2015|December 28, 2015]], the closed Beta test was suspended. The developers said that they encountered serious problems during the development of ''Halo Online'', and with 343 Industries' counsel they decided to suspend testing and "send the game to a serious revision" for several months. Because of that, for people who bought the exclusive premium Beta tester kits, there was a compensation offer. | On September 30, 2015, the closed beta started, and on [[2015|December 28, 2015]], the closed Beta test was suspended.
