Now before you begin the rapid flameathon im bound to recieve
please read.
Now in terms of how this works for bungie it is most likely perfectly fine because it gives them a hell of a long time to fine tune the multiplayer but if they merely think they have it perfect for the release they may end up a bit embarrased if it all ends up a bit glitchy because all the beta testers in world cant prove that a game is unglitched so my resolve to this: (I will get flamed for this part XD)
run another halo reach beta (perhaps less available as the spring one) in the summer so we the fans can ensure the multiplayer works but im not talking about a beta with loads of new guns and maps not in the spring one but just the same thing without the glitches (hopefully)

and this may be to soon in another way because... *steps into flameproof suit* well there will be about 6 months between us playing the beta and getting the game,is it just me or this a bit taunting (well unless it absolutely SUCKS,which it wont) so perhaps run it at the start of the summer perhaps if my first solution is totally barmy.
*seals flameproof suit*
so what do you think

you mean, have the beta until the game comes out? it can't be done.
a BETA is to find glitches and fails, as you said... so if people find some in the second beta, then they need to correct those flaws.

and also, sorry but afaik, no games had TWO beta. only one.

Games do can have more than one beta test.
EX: Global Agenda had a beta phase-1 test and will have a beta phase-2 test.
