@aarongreenberg please don't put halo 5on pc! in the description for the game it says timed exclusive may launch on another platform!
@MarcB567 we are fixing that language, it was simply meant to imply the beta is for a limited time. Sorry for any confusion.

This. Microsoft made mistakes, and like any company they may make more in the future, but releasing Halo on other platforms ? Yeah, right.
Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

You know people. They get a centimeter of rumor they turn it into a mile of truth.
How could anyone misunderstand "timed exclusive"? I mean this term is alway used to describe the limited length of a beta. Stupid gamers.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

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. May 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 now pretending it meant something else.

lol. "centimeter of rumor"...from official MS promotion via the Halo 5s page on an Xbox One console. "Timed exclusive; may be available later on other platforms". Stupid gamers. I wish they wouldn't take this inch and turn it into a mile. Timed exclusive and may be available on other platforms clearly just means that the beta has a time limit (although, all betas have time limits. That's why they're betas, right?).
But, you know people.
I, personally, never thought it would come to another platform than XBone, but for you to say "they get a centimeter of rumor and turn it into a mile of truth" is out of line. It's pretty clear what it says about the Halo 5 beta on an Xbone. That's not "rumor", that's straight up in your face when you turn your XBone on.
The only way they could "fix the language" would be to remove that statement entirely. People that don't know better would rightfully be confused and shouldn't be lumped in with your aformentioned "people" who try to bring a console down by any means necessary

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.
Classic misunderstanding indeed.
May launch on another platform = it's a beta.
