Though I don't mind waiting for it, because ODST will be awesome, but I'd like to know- will the Reach BETA be out and availible to play when ODST is released? Or later?

Thanks.

reaches beta will come in 2010
they said it after the trailer

probably about the same time halo 3 beta came out (may?)

Crackdown came with the Halo 3 Beta, yet the Halo 3 Beta was released long after Crackdown came out. This is just my idea. I could be wrong, seeing as Halo 3: ODST is an actual Halo game and Crackdown was in no possible way related to Halo.

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

The invitation is of now known to come with ODST, so most likely, bungie will fire up the beta servers immediantly when ODST is scheduled for release. (you know there are gona be campers outside stores at midnight just waiting. Some will probably want to play the beta first.)

Thats the actual game release. The beta will open when ODST is released. (the invitations will be with Halo: ODST just as the Halo 3 beta invitations were with crackdown)

A Bungie guy was asked when the beta would become available today on G4. He almost slipped up and it sounded like he was going to say March...but then he corrected himself and said that it would be ready when its ready. Anyone else see this?

He was gonna say "Marketplace," but corrected on the fly to say Xbox LIVE. Small distinction, but you'll access the Halo: Reach beta via the Extras menu on the Halo 3: ODST disc, so you won't be snagging it from Marketplace like you would a traditional beta.

And no, the beta will NOT be available day and date with Halo 3: ODST. When we have details, we'll serve 'em up right here for you.

I hate you so much...

But not as much as I hate the internet.

No one knows when it will be released. The game was announced yesterday.

It is highly unlikely that Bungie would release a new game and a multiplayer beta on the same day. The beta will probably be about 6 months before the launch of the game, just like the Halo 3 beta was.

Glad to have that corrected, it's not like Bungie to make a slip like that when it comes to any sort of release date!! Time to play the waiting game :)

For the LAST time, NO, it DOESN'T. It comes with an invitation. You don't go to a party the same day you get the invitation.
Besides, common sense aside, it's been confirmed that it will be in 2010.

What are you talking about? The beta doesn't come out untill 2010. At E3 they said the beta would be available over xbox live marketplace. It isn't going to be a thing that just comes with the game when it is shipped you have to wait untill they put it on xbox live.

  • 06.03.2009 10:43 AM PDT

The full game comes out in 2010.
I doubt they would have an entire trailer to get people hyped over something like a beta.
Bungie aren't that dumb.
