I run a Halo Info website, and like to give the Facts to my Friends on XBL.

According to this site BNet, you simply need a Copy of ODST to get a Beta Code.
However according to a Friend he found out from a Xbox.com Video that you need to Pre-Order the Game to get it.

So if anyone can supply a solid source that says which is correct, Thanks.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Hmm, this is certainly a conflict. For the mean time, I would go with the primary source, Bungie Studios. They are making the game, and would have much more authority on the situation than anyone else, imho.

Well, as you didn't have to preorder Crackdown (the game that gave the beta for Halo 3), I don't think you'll need to preorder Halo 3: ODST.

This article tells some information at the end for Halo: Reach, but doesn't exactly state if Halo 3: ODST must be pre-order, or bought simply new on the release day.

It says you only have to buy the game. It also says that preordering ODST will get you the ability to play as Agt. Johnson in "Firefight" (what I assume to be a game mode in ODST). Since they have a preorder bonus section, I think it's safe to say that the Reach beta has no association with preordering ODST.

Thanks.

Yea, Frefight is a Halo-Horde style Game mode in ODST.
I believe I read somewhere on BNet (not forum) that we will get the rest of Mythic just with buying ODST, so thanks.

Just buy the game. On an ign video Joe Staten was showing the menu and said that access falls under the Extras' menu so you just need the game.

The only pre order bonus is Johnson.

To access the Halo: Reach LIVE multiplayer beta, you'll need the Halo 3: ODST disc and access to Xbox LIVE multiplayer.

Johnson is a pre-order bonus and won't grant or deny access to the Halo: Reach beta in and of itself. If you pre-order, purchase, and then eat your disc for breakfast, no demo for you.

P.S. Don't eat your disc.

You get the rest of the mythic maps for purchasing the normal version of the game, you don't need to buy the LE.

Halo 3: ODST, what you get for each Edition:

Any Edition = HALO REACH Mutiplayer Beta.

Any Edition + Pre-order = Sgt. Johnson, playable in FIREFIGHT.
____________

So, what do we get from "Limited Edition" is there going, to be a Limited Edition?

  • 07.05.2009 8:46 AM PDT

Option one

ODST Main Menu > Extras > Download Reach Beta

It r nao on ur HDD.


Option two

ODST Main Menu > Extras > Reach Beta > Beta starts

Either of those two.
