"After further evaluation, the team has determined that that final testing for the content update will be completed internally, and we will not be conducting a beta test for the next CU. Also, it was determined that the additional time and work devoted to the beta wouldve actually postponed the public availability of the content update. Lastly, there were some added challenges surrounding the CU beta including an extra series of required updates and rollbacks - that made us take a step back and reexamine the CU beta. Ultimately, this plan will allow us to deliver the smoothest possible experience, and ensure that the next content update becomes available as soon as possible.

Progress on the CU continues, and well work to provide an ETA once the final date is locked. As stated last week, our current focus and priority remains delivering the upcoming improvements to the matchmaking and party systems, but the team is also working on and prioritizing additional items beyond this, and I look forward to discussing these a lot more as we get closer to those updates."

Looks like 343 forgot to include a link too

CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls · Feb 9, 2015

Lots of good information here...

EDIT: Looks like 343i is still struggling to find what the fucki is wrong with their game and realized the "beta" would have lasted too long. What a shame this whole this has become.

Link is broken/not there.

Or is that the joke

Game so broken, it broke the link

Not even the links work anymore!

What a disaster.

ProvenDeadly announces a thread for the gaf, delays it, then doesn't post link.

Im having as much luck with that link as I did with MCC multiplayer before I got my refund.

Great derail, op

More like OP releases a thread before it's ready and patches it after launch.

AmethystEnd · Feb 9, 2015

Hm. Link works for me.

Blablurn · Feb 9, 2015

oh wow

bananafactory · Feb 9, 2015

final testing for the content update will be completed internally

Isn't that what caused the game to launch broken in the first place?

there were some added challenges surrounding the CU beta – including an extra series of required updates and rollbacks - that made us take a step back and reexamine the CU beta

This makes me think that rather than being close to fixing it, they are still in the early stages of figuring out exactly what's wrong.

Not promising.

ProvenDeadly · Feb 9, 2015

Sorry the state of this game made me rush out the OP faster than they did with the game. It's updated.

Sephzilla · Feb 9, 2015

But Master Chief Collection has ultimately proven that 343's internal testing is pathetically unreliable.

The_Almighty_Swan · Feb 9, 2015

Halo 5 is in great hands I tell you LOL!!!

Seventy70 · Feb 9, 2015

It's ok guys, we get ODST!!!

meppi · Feb 9, 2015

Well 343 certainly redeemed themselves in my eyes! lol

Illusive_Juan · Feb 9, 2015

Also shows some Relic artwork

Our friends over at Certain Affinity have begun development of the Relic remake, and over the course of the next few months, well take you behind the scenes on the development process.

SEGAvangelist · Feb 9, 2015

I'm glad they are canceling the beta. That was a just a terrible idea. It's also good to know we're getting the patch sooner because they are sticking with internal testing now.

StriKeVillain · Feb 9, 2015

...aaaaand the people still buying this broken game don't even get access to Relic or ODST.

<3 you guys too, 343.

Elginer · Feb 9, 2015

What the shit, are you kidding me? This games launch has been a hell of a fiasco for them. I was thinking of getting this when I picked up a One but this is just insane. Man, 2014 was a bad year for game launches.

Shining Sunshine · Feb 9, 2015

Maybe they should beta test on how to develop games.

aiat_gamer · Feb 9, 2015

How is this still going on?

The Artisan · Feb 9, 2015

the patch has been cancelled? so the mp is stuck not working?

dancrane212 · Feb 9, 2015

Well, at least we get some concept art for Relic.

CertifiedFP · Feb 9, 2015

Maybe we'll get another 14 Day Buy and Play promo on Halo 5 DLC?

Anoregon · Feb 9, 2015

Halo's Destiny is to Titanfall.

We really are the last of us.

The patch is still coming but it's no longer being beta tested by players. They are simply going to test internally and then release it.

There's NO WAY that can go wrong!

The problem with the MCC is that it was in TOO many hands. Halo 5 will be alright.

Veelk · Feb 9, 2015

This whole affair makes me so sad. The MCC was supposed to be the thing that sold me on the Xbone. This whole thing is a disastrous mess

10/10.

ThatsMytrunks · Feb 9, 2015

They're liars. There's still a beta, but it's a private one.

I'm not sure why they're telling people there's no beta when there is one. :|

They amended their apology from December? You have a link?

PurpleMoustache · Feb 9, 2015

Wait, wasn't this EXACT wording a thread like 3 weeks ago? How fucked up is this game if they have cancelled 2 patches?

Grexeno · Feb 9, 2015

They need to start completely from scratch.

That's pretty much what they're trying to do with this patch isn't it?

Seventy70 · Feb 9, 2015

They have the capability to fix this. They just don't give a shit. They got everyone's money and now it's time to move on to Halo 5. I bet the ODST add on they release will be a complete mess too.

BeatResetsTheWorld · Feb 9, 2015

A beta...for a patch...?

First a broken game, now a broken link.

Only one way 343 can redeem themselves now.

If they didn't give a shit, they wouldn't keep working on it and they would also cancel the ODST port.

It's actually not an uncommon practice in online games when a patch introduces drastic changes.
