Now with Halo 3: ODST only 2 months away... today!, Are you wondering what the Reach beta (which won't be released till some time next year) will be like...? I'm expecting perhaps maybe new equipment, new gameplay features or do I dare say... New Vehicles!

What are your thoughts and ideas of what to expect?

Fast - paced gameplay that leans more toward the competitive community, similar to Halo 1 (not that I want the same exact Halo 1 type of gameplay).

Has a date been announced for when the beta will be playable? I'm aware ODST comes with a beta invite, but when will people be able to actually play?

All we know so far is that it'll become available in 2010 So I'd expect it to be in the first quarter (So anywhere between January - May) :( Still a while a way

If the beta isn't epic I will boycott Bungie.

I'm expecting way more from Halo: Reach then i am from Halo3:ODST because Halo: Reach has been in production for a long time. Something good better come out of it. At least the beat better be good and it better last a long while because i want to play the beta until Halo: Reach comes out.

Well yea.

ODST is more of a spin-off. I don't mean to put this in a bad light as there's nothing wrong with that, but take Crisis Core for example. Good story, more of a fanservice with some more story and its own. Good game, etc.
ODST seems more like more of an experimental game, Dunno why though.

As you progress throughout your life you realize that the older you get the closer your are to death, the only thing you cannot change.

I'm expecting 3-5 maps, matchmaking, some of the features that it has(we have to have some surprise don't we) A new trailer, and a new formula inivating the Halo experience.

Sortof a blend between Halo CE and Halo 3 gameplay. New maps, possibly new equipment, and much more.

If there was no bungie there would be no fun.

I'm hoping for a more tactical feeling to the game and new weapons and vehicles. maybe some new style maps, like a swamp map reminiscent of 343 guilty spark

I honestly hope that it is way different from halo, but just as great, and if you dont know this, the beta doesnt come out at the same time as ODST.
