Halo 5: Guardians launched its multiplayer beta program today, Microsoft announced. The beta phase was originally planned to arrive a few days ago, but is now scheduled to run through January 18. The program was announced during the publisher's E3 2014 press conference in June and is open to those that purchased Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

Additionally, Microsoft unveiled the bonuses goodies coming to those that pre-order one of the various editions of Halo 5 starting today. The $60 standard version of the game includes an exclusive poster, whereas the $100 Limited Edition includes the poster and adds "exclusive items" in a steel book case as well as bonus digital content for the game. Halo 5's Limited Collector's Edition features everything in the other two versions and adds in commemorative statue signed by 343 Industries. Halo 5 is slated to launch in fall 2015.

-LoneWolf Did anyone play it because I wanna know if its a good game or not. I have always like halo but not sure about this one.


Yeah I played it. At first I wasn't used to the controls and everything seemed out of place for the moment. But, once I got the controls down the multiplayer actually became quite fun. It's very competitive and I actually enjoy it when our team wins.

I heard many mixed reviews of Halo 5. I can't decide whether this will be a good game or not.

It's not like the old Halo games, it kind of mixes in some features from other games. You should check it out it's really fun.
