Anyone knows if this is gonna be like crackdown, in which you had to make the download?

Or maybe the beta is already included in the disc, and with time bungie will issue an update to unlock it?

There'll be a download of it in the Extras section of ODST when the Beta is ready.

Second one me thinks

im guessing it will be download because updates can have glitches and sometimes not give you it. And any game hackers could easily unlock the beta.

No it's not. Otherwise you would be able to play it on September 22nd

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Definitely doubt that the Beta will be completed by the 22nd. Why cut down on the amountof time they could improve the Beta?

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

^^ This. The beta's going to be released sometime in 2010 (As the end of the trailer says.)
My best guess is that it will be a download via the market place, but simply accessed through Halo 3: ODST.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that ODST only includes the 'invitation' (to download the beta, most likely).

In one of the interviews with one of Halo 3: ODST's makers they said that when the Reach Beta is ready it will appear in the extras menu with no download required.

Well, that's good to know. The Halo 3 Beta took forever for me to download - stupid Australian broadband -_-

Highly doubt that. They'll be polishing the -blam!- out of it before it's released, and I hardly think they're done the beta already.

A download will be required - I highly doubt we're being given the chance to play eight to ten--month-old content.

Hope to someday work at this place! :)

I'm sure it's not on the disk and will be downloadable only, but I disagree that it will be through the marketplace... Bungie said it will be exclusive with the purchase of ODST. So if it's on the Marketplace anyone could download it. eh?

  • 08.23.2009 12:00 AM PDT

for ace

Pretty sure when Bungie activates the beta you'll download it from extras on ODST staring screen

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

The first disk that comes with ODST has an extras option on the main menu, this option leads to the Download for the Halo Reach Multiplayer Beta. The Beta, however, will not be available until sometime in early 2010.
