Deadlines aside for a moment, had there been a public BETA AND time enough to make changes\/fixes based on player feedback from playing the BETA, we most likely would have had a lot of the features we wanted instead of a lot that we didn&#8217;t want. Playlists would have been better from the get-go instead of playing catchup many months after release.<\/p>\n<p>I SERIOUSLY hope 343\/M$ has learned their lesson here and gives us a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #00ff00;\"><strong>PUBLIC BETA<\/strong><\/span> for Halo 5. Not for Campaign\/Spartan Ops. Just for Multiplayer.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to buy the game regardless. However, I&#8217;d like to know that my feedback has at least some impact on the final released game. Rather than we not having ANY feedback to give and being asked to trust a NEW company. By the time Halo 5 is released, 343 will no longer be new and a LOT will be expected of them. They won&#8217;t be given a &#8220;pass&#8221; on Halo 5 if it&#8217;s screwed up and not darn near completely ready to be released.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>-Sal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A public BETA for Halo 4 would have revealed flaws in the gameplay.
