There's probably no god. Now stop
worrying and get on with your life.

A beta is an earlier build of the full game, a bit like a demo (but unpolished).

a beta is like a testing demo that lasts for a limited time. It helps the developers (Bungie) acquire data to know what they need to change in the game to make the final product better.

A beta is an online multiplayer test of a game several months before it's release. If you hold onto to your copy of ODST until sometime next year, you'll be able to access the beta and play Halo: Reach multiplayer for a few weeks.

No, you can still play Halo 3: ODST, when you first start the game there will be a few options to choose from on the main menu just like Halo 3 ( by options I mean "Campaign", "Matchmaking", "Forge", and so on). One of these options will be titled "Extras". When the beta starts that is where you will go to play it, so you can still play Halo 3: ODST but will not be able to access the beta until Bungie releases it.
