Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

You don't. There is no Beta of ODST. The game is finished, all they are doing is working on bugs.

What you in fact saw was the E3 show model which was made for E3 and nothing else.

They wouldnt need a Beta for it because it uses the same engine as Halo 3.
If i remember correctly, Betas are only for testing the new engines for things. Thats why they are going to have a Halo: Reach Beta.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

You are wrong in many ways. They still make betas so they test the game you numbnuts.

My troll sense is tingling.

Yeah, that is a fake. The real menu shows the Rookie sleeping.

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

No actually he's correct, Bungie never said Reach would run off the Halo 3 engine, and since Odst does run off H3E there really isn't a need for a beta.

No, he's wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_testing It doesn't matter if 2 games are ran off the same engine -- there still needs to be testing. Using the same engine (e.g. Havok engine for all Bungie-made Halo games) means you'll get very similar, if not the same, lighting, textures, graphics, sound streaming, etc., but that's if the said games are going to be a series together.
