Hi peeps. Got a question here. Will the halo reach beta be downloaded from the halo 3 odst menu (without a code, every copy of the game has it, much like downloading halo 3 beta from crackdown), or will it be given via code (only certain retailers give it out)?

Thanks in advance

Like that Crackdown one. Then we'll be ready for some Multiplayer badassery :P

i would assume it would be like the one from Crackdown. I can't see the retailers giving it out to everyone who preordered it. It would be much easier if it came with the game. But who knows, its still a while away and we don't have a date yet.

The beta will be on the ODST disk and will be locked until start of the second quater when it will light up (I assume through an update from Bungie)

Oh god no, that means that, rather than people downloading the beta as soon they get odst (people will get the game at different times), everyone will be trying to download it at once. I can see xbox live crashing and burning as soon as the beta becomes availible.

No problem man, just thought it would be up your street.
You can still join anyway, and we can fill out any blank pieces of knowledge you have. Its up to you, I just saw your post, realised you weren't a -blam!-, and invited. Its what i do.
Back on subject, i believe it will be on the ODST disk, as this is the most common sense way for Bungie to distribute it, and as Reach looks more interesting than ODST to me, and probably some other people, it will increase sales for ODST.

I think I remember them saying that (if it is on the disc) every copy of halo 3: odst sold would have it (no "specially marked copys").

Exactly, so all people who get ODST have a chance at the beta. Its an intelligent scam to sell more copies to those more interested in Reach.

if it is released on an update then you won't have to download but if on the disk in the extras it has the link to a place to download it then when it oes live then yes LIVE will mostlikely lag for a while
