ODST does have LIVE multiplayer and the beta for reach is a LIVE multiplayer beta, most likely matchmaking.

like ODST has no LIVE multiplayer, a reason people dont want to get the game, what im trying to say is that the reach beta will substitute for the ODST multiplayer

like matchmaking reach will be the multiplayer ( not using the invite system)

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

A Demo is not a Beta... they are two compeltely diffirent things.

Beta: Test version of an incomplete game.

Demo: Part of a completed game used to promote it and give players a taste of it in order for the consumer to decide wether it is worth a purchase or not.

No, and yes the campaign disc for ODST has LIVE multiplayer, but no matchmaking, thats in the second disc. OK?

No one knows when the Reach beta is coming out. Probably not even Bungie.

Why would they release a Beta when the full game is released?

Game are always unreliable. I went to them a few weeks after E3 to ask about ODST preorders and they were all "What's ODST?" ... "The new Halo game that's been known about for a good few months?" ... "Haven't heard of it, maybe you mean Halo 3?".

Trust me, they know nothing.

Beta will likely not launch until Bungie are satisfied with the Beta build. As of this moment, I don't think it's as polished and clean as they want it to be, so it'll certainly not activate the moment you get ODST. Bungie probably don't even have a specific date for when they'll activate it, so don't hold your breath, and just enjoy ODST and Firefight.

From what i can take from the info provided:

- The Reach Beta included with ODST is actually just a token to download it when Bungie is ready to test their server capacity and game mechanics to the open market.

- ODST has 4 player CO-OP. That's about it. No multiplayer, that's the reason for the second disc with all 24 maps..

Check Out my FileShare.
I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

It's NOT a TOKEN.
It comes in EVERY game, and you can access it via, the Extras Menu when the Beta goes Live.
Johnson is the only token.
