Halo 5’s beta is going well — but that doesn’t fix Master Chief Collection

While Microsoft is already looking forward to the next Halo game, fans are still worrying about the most recent release in the series.

The Halo 5: Guardians beta started yesterday, and most people are having a great experience with developer 343 Industries’ early test for the sci-fi shooter. Halo 5 will hit Xbox One next year, but it may come out to a fanbase that has cooled toward Microsoft’s biggest franchise. And that’s because of Halo: Master Chief Collection, which just released in November. This compilation of Halos has had a number of issues since its launch, and players on Halo forums and 343’s own message boards are making it clear that they aren’t going to forget about the last game just because they have a shiny new Halo 5 beta test to try out.
