The Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta is a phase in the development of Halo 5: Guardians, produced by 343 Industries and organized by Microsoft. Purchasing Halo: The Master Chief Collection gives players access to the beta,[1] which it was made available on December 29, 2014[2] and ended on January 18, 2015.[3] It was first revealed with a teaser trailer shown at Microsoft's E3 2014 media briefing.
The focus of the beta is on small maps with 4v4 arena gameplay.
