Subject: uh-oh...reach beta not avaliable to all???

if you havent noticed bungie has ALWAYS said that buyers of halo:reach will get the invitation to play the halo reach beta. that could mean that we would have to pay or something.it also says there will be more details coming soon.do you think they will have us do something? tell me your thoughts.

My old Bungie.net account was created February 6, 2008. Unfortunately, I had signed up using my brother's email account (we then shared an Xbox Live account which was linked to my old Bungie.net account), and he changed the password, meaning I couldn't log in. Thus is why I have this account.

Preorder ODST?

i thought they say you get an invitation if you pre-order... and then you get to play the beta around next year.

Nothing about pre-ordering there.

Maybe you have to unlock Recon and own ODST to get into the Beta.

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

Step by step instructions for newbs!

1. Buy ODST (Preorder not required)
2. Wait until bungie has confirmed Reach Beta servers are online. (known to be sometime in 2010)
3. Go onto your ODST disc, and find the Reach Beta option (supposidly under 'extras')
4. ???
5. PROFIT!!!

no, you just need to hang on to your disc, everyone who has odst can play the beta when its released, if you pre-order odst, you get a code to play as Sargent Johnson.

if you want a video rendered but arnt pro, message me :D

Anyone who buys ODST gets an invitation to the reach beta.

It works like this in the main menu there is an extras tab thing, which leads to the reach beta, when it become available (most likeley spring 2010) there will be a link to download the beta from that page.

Recon would have nothing to do with it...
Why not?
If the Beta is only accessible to certain people who own ODST, I would think earning all of the Vidmasters (how you get Recon) would be a good pre-requesite.

you would lose customers like that

It's available to everyone who owns odst. if Bungie only made the game only give certain people the beta, people would get mad and Bungie would loose money.

  • 09.03.2009 5:12 AM PDT

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

Ah, but they've already purchased the game.

I <3 Bungie

No , when the beta goes live in 2010 the extras part of the ODST menu will have it there so all you need is hard drive space and the Halo3 : ODST disc
its avalible to everyone

Although obtaining recon would seem like a nice pre-requsite, the whole point of a beta test is to test the game out with the largest number of players possible. thats how they find bugs and other imperfections.

You sir, would be correct. There is no need to pre-order ODST, the only incentive to pre-ordering is that you get a code to unlock Srgt. Johnson for firefight mode. Anyone who buys ODST will get an invite to the Reach beta

Tote trays brings the logic home! From a testing standpoint, restricting a beta to only those who have accomplished a difficult gaming feat would be kinda dumb. You want a good cross-section of the populace.

wait you have to preorder ODST inorder to get the reach beta?!?!?!

...What?

They clearly said "Buy Halo 3 ODST, and you can play in the Reach Beta".

They said nothing about preordering. If it did have to do with preordering, don't you think they would have announced that little bonus around the same time they announced Johnson for firefight? Think before you post.


Posted by: reckless10
it also says there will be more details coming soon.

Yes. More details about the Beta. What type of gameplay it will have. When will it start? When will it end. What maps will it have? What gametypes will it test. Will it have extra modes like theatre forge firefight or rendered videos? THAT sort of details.
