With the multiplayer of Heroes 5 being somewhat of a disappointment to the fans, Ubi have a something to prove with the follow-up. The open MP beta is said to include "all character classes, skills, weapons and spells for a genuine multiplayer experience" - not just a small taste of what's to come.
