Halo 5: Guardians beta will run at 720p and at 60fps.

It has been confirmed by 343 Industries that Halo 5: Guardians beta will run at 720p and at 60fps. Josh Holmes, the Studio Head for Halo 5 confirmed this on an interview with Eurogamer. According to him, gameplay is the main focus for the beta so it wasn't too important to concentrate on the graphics at this point in time.

"We're midway through development. We're balancing and tuning the gameplay systems. All of the polish and optimisation graphically is stuff that typically comes towards the end of the production cycle. So, for the beta, we're going to be coming out at 720p and 60fps. That's not the final resolution for the game. You can imagine as we go through the remainder of the project we'll be focused on polishing the visual look of the game. You can expect it will look amazing when it comes out."

So Halo 5 :Guardians is still under construction. 343 Industries are currently "balancing and tuning the gameplay systems". Towards the end of the development process, they will work on the graphics and make sure everything looks top class. Holmes said the 720p and 60fps is not the final resolution of the game and we are expecting the final product to look remarkable.

People will get a chance to play the Halo 5: Guardians beta in late December. Every copy of Halo: The Master Chief Collection gives you an invite for the beta. Don’t be distressed if the graphics is not up to mark, we've been assured the game will look much better when it hits in the Fall of 2015. Check out the plot details of the game here.
