'Halo 5: Limited Collector's Edition' beta begins, pre-orders available now

There will be a "Halo 5: Limited Collector's Edition" coming out in the market soon. Microsoft dropped the big news on the official Xbox website early this week, saying that the Limited Collector's item for "Halo 5" will be launched alongside the Standard and the Limited edition packs. 

Available for pre-order, each "Halo 5" edition comes with the following: 

  • Standard Edition – This pack contains the "Halo 5: Guardians" game as well as an exclusive poster which can only be obtained when pre-ordered. The Standard Edition will be sold for $59.99. 
  • Limited Edition – All the contents of the Standard Edition is included in this pack, but it will include a new digital content that can be used to improve the Spartan combat of the game. The Limited Edition pack also comes with exclusive items, and it is enclosed in a handsomely designed steel book. This edition is available for $99.99. 
  • Limited Collector's Edition – Players can get everything that is included in the Limited Edition pack, plus bonus contents including a commemorative number statue that is designed and manufactured by 343 Industries. 

All these editions can be pre-ordered from the Microsoft Store. 

Meanwhile, the multiplayer beta for "Halo 5" officially started after being delayed for a couple of days. Microsoft is planning to compensate by adding an extra day for the beta period. The beta became available on Monday afternoon, but players need to have the "Halo: The Master Chief Collection" first in order to gain access.

Just a week ago, the trailer that shows the features of the beta was released. It features the 4x4 Arena play that runs across all the seven maps and three game types.

The final version of "Halo 5" is expected to be available in Xbox One edition sometime in fall 2015.
