Major Nelson har afsløret nogle interessante statistikker vedrørende den nylige Halo 5: Guardians-beta, der sluttede d. 18 januar efter tre ugers varighed. I løbet af betaens levetid blev der spillet over 20 millioner kampe, der svarer til 290 år. Desuden er 181 millioner liv gået i tabt.
I en blog-post på Halo Waypoint der er skrevet af producer Josh Holmes, har udvikleren allerede identificeret de kerneområder hvor spiller-feedback kan bruges.
Et eksempel på dette er Hydra-våbnet, der nu vil blive mere nyttigt:
"Our newest weapon, the Hydra, received a mixed response from fans. Hard to use at first, it took some time for players to realize how effective the Hydra is at curving shots around cover at range from within the new Smart-Link system. Once it clicked, people began mopping up, but many players still felt that the weapon didn't have enough utility in general combat. We'll be buffing the weapon to make it more effective out of zoom and ensure that it feels like a true power weapon."
