Transcript
''A view of what appears to be a free-floating hangar above an unidentified planet fades in from black. Lights flicker on, illuminating the area, which is clearly a War Games map. Two screens flicker on, on opposite sides of the map, showing a timer and two spartans one red, one blue standing either side of it.''

''The screen fades to black, then quickly fades to show a spartan on the red team clenching his fist. It fades to a blue spartan loading his weapon, then cuts to a red spartan doing the same. After this action is completed, it cuts to a blue spartan's helmet which appears to be a modified variant of John-117's already modified Mark VI helmet in Halo 4.''


 * Unidentified spartan - "Ready!"


 * Another unidentified spartan - "Let's move!"

''It fades to a shot of the red team running forward, then cuts between them, to blue team and then back to red. The camera switches to a view from behind the red team, as they use what appear to be man-cannons to launch them into the map.''

''The screen fades to black, and then the words 'Next Generation Arena Multiplayer' appear. Shortly after the words' appearance, the screen suddenly cuts to a red spartan tackling a blue spartan.''

''Again, the screen cuts to black and the words '60 FPS on Dedicated Servers' appear. before the screen cuts to a shot of a blue spartan sliding into cover, with a red spartan sprinting in the background.''

''The camera cuts to black, and this time the words 'All New Spartan Abilities' appear. To demonstrate these new abilities, it changes to an airborne red spartan slamming his fist down into the floor, sending sparks flying in all directions and damaging two blue spartans nearby.''

''It fades to black, and then the Halo 5: Guardians logo fades into view, with the words 'Multiplayer Beta, Available in the Master Chief Collection' below it. After these fade out, crystal-like shards with pictures representing the games in the Master Chief Collection appear, coming together to fill the screen. On top of this, the words 'Including: Halo: Nightfall Digital Series, Halo 5: Guardians Beta Access' fade in. As the shards fully come together, this fades out and the Halo: The Master Chief Collection logo fades in to take their place.''

Trivia

 * The screens on the walls either side of the map appear to show the weapons that each spartan is holding which is most easily visible at 0:16.
 * One of the weapons the spartans are seen holding resembles the BR85HB SR Battle Rifle but without the scope.
 * This has been speculated to show that weapon attatchments can be customised. This could also be suggested by the Halo 5: Guardians box art, in which Agent Locke is holding a battle rifle with what is clearly not its usual scope attached.
 * Another theory is that this is the MA5K, which is said to look similar to the battle rifle but without a scope.
