Subject: Length of Halo Reach Beta?

I swear to DRUNK, I'm not GOD!

Does anybody even have the slightest idea how long the Halo Reach Beta will be available for through Halo 3: ODST?

I know bungie is trying to be secretive about this game, and I'm sure we're gonna get a TON of information about Halo Reach the moment ODST is available, but I think this would be something really important to know. I mean, will the Beta be available indefinitely? A month? A week? I want to enjoy ODST AND the Halo Reach Beta, I don't wanna have to rush through the ODST campaign because I have to hurry before the Halo Reach Beta deadline is over or something.

So does anybody have any idea how long the beta will last for?

they haven't confirmed any set time for how long it will last but you don't have to rush through the ODST campaign to play it because the beta won't be coming until 2010.

I don't want to believe that. It will take me at LEAST 2 weeks to fully enjoy ODST. (I mean, it's open world, right? Well... I always did like to explore!)

It doesnt come out till summer 2010 so you can take ten months to finish the game if you want too so yeah

No, they have already said that the beta will be coming 2010 and that you have to keep your ODST disc to access the beta when it is released like the halo 3 beta that was on the crackdown disc it didn't let you play the beta on the disc until they released it.

Argh...... so weak! I've been living under a warped illusion all this time! lol Oh well... at least I have much time to unturn every single rock in ODST before the Reach Beta is available! ^^

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I think it will be released around the same time as the H3 Beta and will run for about as long.

Loose talk is noose talk.

Probably longer than a month, and less than 3 months.

It takes time to gather up data.

Do some research.

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.

Even if it did come out before you finished ODST, how does that make a difference? It's just a beta, go play it for the two weeks or how ever long it's out, then you can go back to ODST when you're done.
