UPDATE: The Weapon Tuning Test has officially come to an end as of Monday, Oct. 2. Thank you to everyone for playing and sharing so much feedback - your input and efforts are greatly appreciated. The sandbox team is currently processing and reviewing feedback and game data to inform additional iteration and tweaks that will be included in the November update for Halo 5. We'll be providing an in-depth look at exactly what's changing - and why - in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, please know that while many of the tuning items landed as intended and had the desired impact, we understand some did not. The BR in particular was something that garnered overwhelmingly negative reaction. The BR is definitely getting some love and fine tuning based on feedback, survey results, and game data. Some of the tuning items will ship exactly as what you helped test, many others will receive various degrees of additional tweaks and improvements before November. Again, we'll be sharing all of those details and background as soon as they're locked. Once these new-tuned items are released broadly in November we'll still be watching very closely and monitoring data and feedback and already have plans and processes in place to facilitate additional tweaks if warranted.
Thanks again to everyone who participated in this test - it was a learning experience on a number of levels and really the first of its kind for a Halo game. We look forward to sharing the results soon and to your continued partnership and feedback as we continue to refine and improve Halo into the future.

Beginning today, Monday, Sept. 11, the Weapon Tuning Test playlist is now live in Halo 5! Jump in to this updated version of Team Arena to help us test out new tuning changes! By simply playing, you will help us gather critical data as we analyze the impact and outcome of these changes. However we also welcome your feedback right here in this official thread!
The "Weapon Tuning Test" playlist will remain active until Monday, Oct. 2. At that point, it will revert back to the original version of Team Arena as the team makes any necessary internal refinements based on data and feedback before the final changes go live in November. Stay tuned for more info in the weeks to come.
