343 Industries has revealed that a public multiplayer beta is not currently scheduled for Halo 4.
In an FAQ on the game's official site, 343 revealed that the development team would need to be split in order to plan a public beta test, and one isn't in the works as a result.
"While we are testing Halo 4 code, gameplay, and systems at significant scale to get excellent data, input, and feedback, we are focused on polishing and shipping our experience for the duration of the year, and splitting resources to manage and build a beta is not on our schedule"
Previously, a Halo 3 beta was included with copies of Crackdown, and a Halo Reach beta was available to owners of Halo ODST.
