Subject: Question about the beta

It is what it is.

My real gamertag is Boomerf16.

Just wondering, but won't the beta end up being huge since pretty much every Halo fan is going to buy ODST? I just thought the point of a beta was to get a small group of people and work out the kinks in a game but it seems like the amount of people in the beta will be comparable to the number of people who will buy the game itself.

Not only will they be able to test Multiplayer on a large scale to minimize lag and optimize the netcode, they know that everyone who bought Halo 3: ODST probably is huge enough a Bungie fan that they would want early access into Reach.

:D

There are normally multiple testing stages for games and the "beta stage" is typically when the game is getting close to it's completion and ready to be tested on a much larger scale. other stages such as the "alpha stage" would be a much more exclusive, small scale testing phase
