The Halo:Reach Beta will most likely start next spring.

I really hope Bungie/Microsoft come up with a really good ranking system for Halo:Reach online. Let's admit it, Halo 3's ranking system was it's biggest flaw, and GoW's sucks too, and Call of Duty's is very unbalanced, and you can stay at one place with all the best guns etc.

Halo: Reach looks awesome being before Halo 1, but what I want is to see a game about what heppened to Fred, Kelly, Linda, and Dr. Halsey inside Onyx.

This is basically my summerization.

BETA:

Halo 3: ODST Comes out, and you get a code.

You can enter the code on XBL Marketplace once Halo: Reach is avaliable to code holders.

You then download it.

_____________________________________________________________ _________

FULL GAME:

Im guessing this may be like Halo 3 but maybe with new weapons and vehicles, and maybe it will pickup from some of the vehicles in Halo Wars such as the Wolverine. You will definetly be able to see the other spartans like Kelly, Fred, and Linda.

Hopefully they can perfect the MultiPlayer and the campaign will be riveting.

These are all my thoughts so far.

so whats the genre of this game??


We don't know yet. That's the 6 million dollar question, though.

Is this another, traditional Halo FPS, or will it be something different?

I hopes we finds out soon!

Ya, all we know is thats its a game for the Xbox 360 and that it ahs to do with Halo pre-Halo 3.

I'm hoping that it has new Multiplayer.. That would be great, Great for MLG too.

  • 06.01.2009 3:58 PM PDT

I also noticed that.

Im praying for late October early november
November makes more sense with MW2 coming out cause Bungie prolly does not want their beta be waaaay to overflowed with people.

Maybe they are announcing the beta with the announcement of Halo: Reach so people will have more of an incentice to buy Halo 3:ODST. ODST is an add-on which, in my opinion, shouldn't be 60 dollars. I will buy ODST anyways though, especially since it comes with a beta for Reach.

I've got exams all this week and next and all I can think about is teh heap of information Bungie has unleashed upon the world. I just can't cope, revising out the window ;). But seriously Im just so excited for the new multiplayer maps on ODST, and hopefully the ton of new, interesting maps that will be built into Halo: Reach (if its an FPS) Plus the news of teh beta, that just takes the michael...

  • 06.01.2009 4:11 PM PDT

I wonder if they're gonna do the Friends and Family again. They shot a code to me and a couple friends. It was awesome playing a couple days earlier than everyone else. Still buying the game either way, though.

I can't wait to see the new maps, and to see if they can really pump out some good solid playable maps.

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.”

i really hope they stop with this noobing everything up trend

halo 3 has to be as low as it gets in terms of being friendly to new and bad players

The beta will be out in 2010, not 2009.

I don't know about anyone else here, but I hope that this game is not a BRAND NEW game, but a game with new concepts. I actually want to see the same abilities that spartans had online with Halo 3, but with sure skill weapons that noobs can't use as effectively as better players could (NOT SAYING I'M PRO, I'M JUST NOT A NOOBER). I'd like to see a more team involved storyline in campaign but one with the option to play alone. I think that whatever bungie does it will revamp the gaming industry and make halo a new a cool thang.

Things I want:

New Multiplayer AND campaign concepts (ways to play0
New Vehicals (transports?)
New Weapons (not totally new, but not exactly the same style as older games)
ALL NEW CHARACTERS from ghosts of onyx and fall of reach (first contact?)
and, last, but not least,
I want a multiplayer that really caters to old, long time players like myself and to longtime players of the Halo: Fall of Reach game itselt (more you play, more perks of the game)

Yeah, Master Chief wasn't the only one there was other's like Sam and Kelly, who was Johns Comrades in Blue Team until Sam died anyway then there was Fred, Kurt and Linda.

Hopefully the campaign will be better than Halo: Fall of Reach.

Fall of reach was a great book, but a lot of it is in space...

So I am curios as to how it will go...

Is anyone thinking what im thinking

Reach Beta = Bungie Day Present?


I want to see new vehicles

Probably won't be released on Bungie Day, but it still would be nice.

I think he means 7/7/2010


I was actually thinking this year (Although its doubtful) Maybe the Actual release will be next bungie day?


That wouldn't be possible.
Halo 3: ODST's scheduled release date is 9-22-09, and Bungie Day this year is on 7-7-09.
We need the game before we can play the beta XD

Happily married to Fatal_Coin_Vest since July 1st, 2009.

Thank you, Captain K Mart.

I have definite proof that the Beta will start some time after ODST is released. I hope the TC puts this in the OP.

Go here, hit the "Invitation to the Halo: Reach Beta" drop down sign, and read. It says "hold on to your copy," implying that we will have to wait.
