No Beta Planned for Halo 4

[Silko]

We reached out to Microsoft to clarify Halo 4's beta situation and the company provided the following statement:

"We plan to test both gameplay and code features rigorously and at a meaningful scale throughout the course of 2012 to ensure a great experience at launch, but we have no plans for a public multiplayer beta for Halo 4."

Bullshit 343 come on!

*Sigh*

Anything to push it out faster for cash, I guess.

There could still be a private beta...

lol at reading comments on IGN. Half of them don't know what the hell they're even talking about.

Eagle if there will be no Beta how can there be a Private Beta? All testing will be Internal testing

May I quote Microsoft's statement:

"We plan to test both gameplay and code features rigorously and at a meaningful scale throughout the course of 2012 to ensure a great experience at launch, but we have no plans for a public multiplayer beta for Halo 4."

Public and Private betas are different, and Microsoft only stated they wouldn't have a public one.

It's a little dumb to ask if there "will be" a Beta. Were in March if there was a Beta launch coming there wouldn't be enough time to get enough feedback from the general gaming community and fix it within a few months. It would've been anounced a while ago as well.

They have until around December. A Beta is well within that limit.

Personally, 343 should stop listening to the community and make a damn game. Reach was fucked after they "listened" to the "people"

Indeed. They didn't realize that the dissatisfied speak louder than the satisfied, and almost ignored the fact that some people weren't talking about changed from halo 3 to reach because they didn't want them. Let numbers speak for themselves. If population is high, people are satisfied, whether they speak out or not, and vise versa.

Listening to the 2% that complain on bungie forums, and them only, was a bit stupid of them x.x
