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.


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.


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.
I know. The Beta will most likely be available to all who purchase ODST. That would make the most sense since they need to test the netcode as with the Halo 3 Beta.

BUT, as the OP puts it, the description hints that the Beta ticket is not a guaranteed entrance. I'm saying IF there was some pre-requesite, it would most likely be to unlock Recon via Halo 3 ODST.

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.

No. You just Buy ODST, and your invited, everyone with ODST can play the Beta.

To me, it seems unlikely that the pre-requisite of Recon would be required. It would mean that Bungie would be unable to test it with the majority of CASUAL gamers, which is still a huge part of the Halo Player Base
