Halo 5 Beta Program Tallies Over 2 Million Hours Played, 343 Outlines Sweeping Changes From Feedback

A total of 2,539,847 hours were played, with 20 million matches and 181,389,366 total kills. 19,000 people signed up for the Halo Community Feedback Program as well, and 343 has credited them with giving them the feedback they needed.

Case in point, 11 per cent of people in the program revealed via survey that they did not like sprint. 343 is not removing sprint completely, but players will be able to toggle it on or off in custom games.

You’ll also be able to turn off other Spartan abilities, like Ground Pound and Spartan Charge, for more classic games.

They also revealed these changes:

Spoiler
