Subject: To end all those "WTF Where's my Reach BETA" threads

Hello! Welcome to ProphecyXYZ / LashingRaptor's profile!

ProphecyXYZ is my current Gamertag, and username on pretty much everything. LashingRaptor was my first, randomly generated, Gamertag. Add me up for some fun, awesome matches! (E-Harmony, much?)

I specialize in Driving and Piloting, expect me to get mad if you take the Banshee / Warthog / Falcon when your don't even know how to drive. I write machinimas, and I voice act often.

I've seen so many threads in the past few hours with people wondering why they can't access the BETA that came with their copy of Halo 3: ODST. Half of this confusion is from the Halo 3 BETA, in which it was available a while after buying Crackdown.

The answer to you question is that the BETA will be available to the people that purchased Halo 3: ODST around Spring 2010, where the only you only need the ODST Disk to get into the BETA.

Thank you for reading and I hope this will put a stop to these threads.

I think the idiots that don't understand that the Beta is coming in 2010 don't deserve to play it. Either they figure it out like the rest of the fricken population, or they get left out.

I h8 stoopid peeple

i feel the same way... 2 many ppl got mad b/c the beta wasnt with the game..... they need to learn to become more patient and let bungie take care of us halo lovers

One does not simply walk into Halo.

There's also the idiots that think the beta will be out 1 year from now.

  • 09.22.2009 6:46 PM PDT

You're an idiot. The release of the game is in 2010, not the Beta.

I hope Bungie will truly make this game more different. ODST felt almost like the previous Halo series. Same shooting gameplay, but doesn't mean I don't love the game. Just want different gameplay experience. Maybe 100+ Spartans on a field against Thousands of Convenants. :)

If somebody's opinion is being smashed and nobody's helping, I try and help. I use logic and extensive vocabulary (and sometimes self-destructive circular reasoning) to confuse my enemies into submission. Fear me, trolling, fapping creatures of the night. For I. Am your worst nightmare.

Scythus, your an idiot. The beta is supposed to come out early next year and the game in the fall of next year.

Bungie are God/s.

You're an idiot. The Beta and the game is released in 2010. Dumb ass. Get your facts straight. Get out, no one wants you.

dont call me retarded if i dont know this but do you have to preorder odst to get beta. can someone message me da answer


Why can't we tell you straight up right now?

NO.

Why the hell would a BETA (A TEST of a game that requires as many players as possibble) limit itself to a select few people?

I find it funny the lack of date on the advertising on the EB games Australia web site before ODST came out it said preorder for Halo Reach beta access or some thing like that also on the game case it says Halo Reach multilayer beta strictly limited offer so I don't blame people when they ask where is it when it doesn't says when to get it

I beileve the beta isn't even a pre-order bonus? It's just a bonus...for having the game.

  • 09.22.2009 8:30 PM PDT

WAIT so your saying if i go to buy ODST right now, i wont be able to access the BETA!!??

  • 09.22.2009 8:42 PM PDT

I have a question:

Say I buy ODST after the beta comes out, will I still be able to play it?

(And no, that is not my plan, I am planning on buying ODST this Friday).

  • 09.22.2009 8:55 PM PDT

Mattman jr

the beta will be out for probably 1-3 weeks so as long as its still avialable then yes you will be able to play it

  • 09.22.2009 8:56 PM PDT

Yes! You get access to the Reach Beta by hanging on to your ODST disc. When the time comes, a new menu option will appear on the ODST main menu screen allowing you to play the Beta. All we know is that it'll be sometime 2010

THANK-YOU! the stupid bold text in the OP that said "the beta will be available to the group of people who but ODST in spring 2010" is what really messed me up.
