Hi there everybody. I'm ell635, I've been enjoying Halo 3: ODST like the rest of us, and today - I've summoned a theory about when we might be expecting to see the Halo: Reach Beta that is promised alongside the purchase of Halo 3: ODST.
Okay, so I haven't unlocked the achievement yet - but I noticed on Xbox.com - that the Vidmaster Challenge: Endure achievements' logo is a number 4. (Click the link on the text saying "number 4")
Now, if you haven't noticed already, the logo looks exactly like the number 7 logo for the Vidmaster Challenge: 7 on 7 - which is on Halo 3.
Obviously there is the simplest alternative. Both achievements have alot of focus on those numbers. The 7 on 7 is unlocked by entering a playlist with 7EXP on the 7th Day of that Month. There's alot of focus on the Number 7, which we all understand is Bungies favourite Number - and has been noticeable for a long time.
And the same pattern occurs with Endure. You need to pass the 4th Set. And you must have 4 players. So there's alot of focus on the number 4. But sometimes you just know that Bungie does these things for a reason.
I'm sure you've already picked up on my theory, but I'll explain.
I think that these two numbers play a part in the date of Halo: Reach's BETA release. We're promised the BETA sometime in 2010 thanks to buying Halo 3: ODST. When we get the BETA isn't known.
So what if these numbers mean the Halo: Reach BETA will be released on April 7th, 2010?
What do you think of the theory? If you like analysing and searching for Easter Eggs, I'm sure you'd have probably put your money on Halo: Reach (and the Beta) coming out on the 7th day of whatever Month...
So I think the day (7th) seems realistic. And April is a good 6-7 Months away. That's a long time to build a game, and prepare a Beta too. So April seems like a reasonable month for the Beta to release.
Also, 7 + 4 = 11. That could mean that we could be seeing Halo: Reach officially released in November.
Now, I like this theory, because November is exactly 7 months after April. Lucky number Seven again!
Post your thoughts and ideas. Thank you.
