I doubt the actual beta will be on the disc itself. They want the ability to change and revise things right up to the last minute. With the H3 beta, the Crackdown disc had code built in to it that once the beta started, there was a "Download H3 Beta" button you clicked to download it (well, once they got it working). I am going to say with 99% certainty it will be the same with the Reach beta.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

There has to be some reason why it's such an early mention of a multiplayer beta. No game has ever been announced with a beta, especially not an FPS.

ya i dont get that.


I don't think this is correct.

And was the beta announced at E3? Or just the preview?

Either way I am happy for it. Betas only improve games, and since the multiplayer is what keeps it going, I am happy that they are coming out up front with it.

It's to sell more copy's of ODST.

Also I was so happy seeing reach's announcement. Loved the book now to play it.(Yeah it's a prequel for those who don't know)

Bungie.net user for 4 years and still going!
Plasmalab, a great map for Neutral CTF or Slayer. Download it and have fun. Version 1.1 now available.
Do not send me group invites I will NOT accept them.

If this does take place before Halo CE, just like Halo Wars did, I wonder if the vehicles they used in Halo Wars will also be in Halo: Reach...

If so, I call the Cobra!

My question is what will the beta hold? Did Bungie change the way Halo multiplayer will be played or is it just to test out new maps and such? If multiplayer does change, will it be imported to Halo 3?

So many unanswered questions!

I'm delicious.

Well if it's included with ODST, I'll assume it starts then. The Halo 3 beta only lasted a week.

Possibly. The trailer said it includes a key for the Beta for Halo: Reach in 2010. I don't know if 2010 is referring to the Beta or Reach.

Yet, I think the Halo 3 beta came out in 2006. So, I think the Reach beta will come shortly after ODST (shortly being a few months to a year).

If the multiplayer is indentical to Halo 3's multiplayer, I'm gonna throw my copy of ODST and Halo 3 out into the middle of the street and watch them get run over by cars with a big smile on my face.

Bungie has the opportunity to make the best next gen FPS ever made. If they screw it up and just make Halo 3 part 2 just to line their pockets, I'm gonna be pissed.

If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?

I wonder what the new 'recon' will be for Halo: Reach ? ;)
And also if the beta testers (Which to be honest will be everyone pretty much) will get anything to show off our beta testery in the full version? Because that would be sweet =D

the trailer says Halo: Reach FALLS 2010, which means the game comes out 2010, possibly FALL 2010.?!

they didn't say anything about the beta release date. but im guessing its few month after ODST comes out and few months before REACH comes out.

so possibly spring 2010.

but you never know, its BUNGIE.

A few years from now nothing you do in this game will have mattered. Your rank, kill/death ratio, win/loss ratio, will get you no where. So, if your going to play the game, do it for the enjoyment.

Yea, well whatever it is you're gonna CHOKE!
