Xbox One preview members get early access to Halo 5 beta

4.7
Microsoft is gifting its dedicated Xbox One preview members an early Christmas present tomorrow: early access to Halo 5. While 343 industries and Microsoft plan to launch a Halo 5 multiplayer beta on December 29th, Xbox One preview members will be able to play content from week one a whole 10 days early. The early access is invite-only, and all current Xbox One preview members should receive a message from Xbox Live tomorrow with two codes to obtain the download.

Halo 5 multiplayer beta early access will start at 4PM ET tomorrow, and end at 3AM ET on December 22nd, giving Xbox One preview members the weekend before Christmas Day to get used to the new weapons, maps, and Spartan abilities. Those include a new Smart Scope option that gives you a scope on every weapon, and a Ground Pound ability, that’s very similar to Destiny’s First of Havoc slam, to let you drop down from the air and attack enemies.

I really need to get in and how?


Add my GT: 'Im Pretty Swift', and I'll send you an invite.


One more invite wouldn't hurt, would it?

MrEpicMods How the heck is it unfair?


because of everyone who didn't get invited to the xbox preview?


Wasn't the preview program invitations sent out randomly to Xbox users?


Yes they were and your friends could also invite you, so it's not really unfair at all. The people complaining are just lazy and didn't ask their friends or anyone for an invite if they didn't get one.


Or, None of my friends have xbox one? Don't just to conclusions buddy. I am not lazy.


I actually am going to jump to conclusions because there is many post on the Xbox forums on TTG and on /r/Xbox that will in no doubt send you a invite. so yes, you are lazy.

You should also send me an invite. Don't care if I can't play this beta early.
