Yes, sometime (unknown now) Bungie will allow you to access the Halo Reach beta from the "Extras" tab at the main menu for ODST. It comes with all copies of the game (Standard or LE).

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

What I don't get is, will we have to download a giant update for Halo 3: ODST once the Reach beta goes live, or will it already be built into the disk and they'll just unlock it after a certain time? (The games been in development since late 07, it could be in it's beta stage by now)

Probably have to download a large update. We'll find out next year.

Anyone who purchased a brand new copy of ODST, regardless of edition, will get a invite. This is one reason I'll be buying it, along with getting another Halo 3 disk and another game, two for one ftw!.

I think neither. I think we can just click the "Download Halo: Reach Beta" button once Bungie activates it and it brings us to a Marketplace page where we can download it. Then we can just access it through the Halo 3: ODST disc. I'm sure it's not on the disc already, I mean, a year before is a bit too soon I think.

Yeah, I think it will be a download item similar to the kinds of things you find on the marketplace (2 second-10 minute download) and it can only be accessed from the Halo 3: ODST disk.

I,m the lord of the covenant.

What else is in extras? Thats the real question.

Well I assume that's where you can unlock Johnson with your super secret unique code.

If I was in a room with justin Bieber, Bin Laden, Hitler and a gun with two bullets I would Shoot Bieber twice.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

BUT you dont get the demo until there is one

  • user homepage:

You'll have to download it, if it was on the disk people would find a way to mod it so they could see what it was.
