No beta for Halo 4, says 343

Quote :

Halo 4 will not have a beta, according to 343 Industries, which stated that “splitting resources to manage and build a beta is not on our schedule.”

I saw that. There has been alot of other information aswell including comfirmation that the covenant returns (although they will most likely play a smaller role compared to the new enemies), assassinations are confirmed and so are skulls.

Well, the Halo betas are pretty flawless based on my experience. In fact, I hardly noticed a difference between the Halo: Reach beta and the actual game.

Are they gonna atleast have a demo?

I pretty much agree with TRF. The only thing was that invasion was unbalanced but that was because it was one round only.

or Maybe they'll pull the COD route and release a demo MONTHS after the game is already out.

They already do that. They did it with Reach. There's already a ton of people who will buy the game when it comes out. The idea of a delayed demo is so people who haven't bought it yet who might be on the fence play the demo and even more copies of the game are sold.

I vaguely remember connection issues at the beginning of the beta but once those were resolved, it played smooth as buttah.

Well it's not like Halo 4 will have a lack of internal testing.
