How could anyone misunderstand "timed exclusive"? I mean this term is alway used to describe the limited length of a beta. Stupid gamers.

Well it literally is a TIMED exclusive. 3 weeks actually.

But they've already hinted at another beta later in the year for BTB. That could be what "may launch on another platform" means. It may not launch on MCC. It may be an open beta.

Because games are platforms now? C'mon.

This wasn't a misunderstanding. This was misleading information.  My have been unintentional but the blame for "misunderstanding" certainly doesn't lie with the fans. They used language that always has a specific meaning in the game industry and are nw pretending it meant something else.

The way it is being distributed is the platform. The only way you can play the Halo 5 beta from the 29th to the 18th is if you have MCC. Its in the menu of it.
