Alongside their announcement of the Halo Channel, 343 Industries has teased fans with a glimpse at what they can expect in the Halo 5: Guardians beta that launches December 29th and runs for three weeks exclusively on Xbox One.
Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta will focus on just a portion of the full multiplayer experience. Arena gameplay, featuring 4 vs. 4 showdowns, arena combat in Halo 5: Guardians will start players with the same loadout, ensuring matches are perfectly balanced and competitive. The multiplayer beta will include seven maps and three game types as well as a variety of different armor set to customize your Spartan with.
The Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta will run on dedicated servers at 60 frames-per-second to deliver the best multiplayer experience, and include unlockables which can be carried over to Halo 5: Guardians when it launches in fall in 2015.
