Subject: ODST and the Beta. Hacker's delight?

The last time I tried to make a quote, a car smashed through my wall and the tire hit my grandmother in the other room. But for those of you who can haz once more between five, I say it will be five between seven divided by zero multiplied by Chick Norass and Broce Tee.

So it guarantees you access to the beta "whenever it goes live". If the disk has the beta, it must be built in. The reason why? Unless it's a downloaded beta that can only be downloaded on the Marketplace via the disk, it should actually be on the disk. Therefore a hacker could probably unlock it. Bungie might want to look into that.

Update patch maybe?

It's so long ago I can't remember, but didn't we have to download the Halo 3 beta on Crackdown?

  • 09.13.2009 4:15 PM PDT

Hmm...

It would be pointless to have it on the disk, it isn't even finished yet.

No, halo reach beta will be downloaded via the ODST disc just like the halo 3 beta was through crackdown. It's not just going to be pre-loaded on there and then available when they want it to be. Do you really think bungie is that stupid?

7even is Darker

It will be downloaded... Halo reach most likely isn't even in beta stages right now/

On the ODST page, it mentions that Live Gold is required to get the Reach Beta. It's not on the disc if you need live.

No... that would mean that the Beta is completed now, meaning Bungie would not be able to upgrade it before its release, meaning that's not the case. ODST comes with a ticket for the Beta; my bet is, you click something like "DLC" in the menu, and when the Beta goes live, it will become downloadable through the disk (like with Crackdown).

Exactly. The Beta isn't finished yet (from what I and everyone else has gathered), so how in the world would one be able to hack themselves into something that doesn't exist?

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Crackdown didn't contain the Beta, it did however give you a shortcut to download the Beta.

Chances are Bungie wouldn't include the Beta on the disc, eating up space and just sitting there for hackers to pick apart.

I believe Halo 3 ODST will be like Crackdown. It will have a shortcut (ticket) to download the Beta from the Marketplace when it goes live.

Another possibility is that in an update or something it unlocks a code to be used on XBL marketplace to download the Beta

I'm guessing that it is going to be downloaded since I doubt that Reach if ready for a Beta yet and Bungie isn't stupid. They know hackers would try to get it early. It will probably be just like the H3 beta-you download it to your hardrive and you need crackdown to play it.

  • 09.13.2009 5:47 PM PDT

They said that you can get it when it goes live through the extras menu until then the extras option will be grayed out meaning that you cant go to it.

  • 09.13.2009 5:47 PM PDT

Team Slayer: 48
Team Doubles: 46
Team SWAT: 46
MLG: 45
Team Snipers: 43
Squad Battle: 37

It will be like the H3 Beta with crackdown. The disk has a sort of code that allows for the beta download. It isn't built in. It will likely take hours to download just as the H3 beta did.

It may be in Alpha

Sup brah.

Defiantly not on the disk. The disk will simply allow you to download the beta when it is active.

yes, if you look at the vids where they show the menu, there is a tab called extras. i believe in a E3 or comic con vid, joe staten said this is where you get the beta when it goes live.
