"This is the definitive Halo made by the people who created Halo."

- Martin O'Donnell

Hello everyone! The only information that Bungie gave us about Halo: Reach is the final game will be released in the Fall of 2010 and the multiplayer beta will be released ANY TIME in 2010. A year is a long period of time and the question remains in the back of my head: "When will the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta be released?" I did some research and came up with a theory.

When Halo 3 was announced, Bungie said it would be released in the Fall of 2007. The Halo 3 multiplayer beta was publicly released in May of 2007, specifically the 16th day of May. Since Halo: Reach will also be released in the Fall, it is a possibility the the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta will also be released in May. It probably won't be released exactly on the 16th of May, but it's a start... What do you guys think?

Yeah, but Fall is an entire season. Reach could come out in October or November, it doesn't have to release in September, in which case the Beta may be release a few months later as well. Unless they plan on having more time after the beta. There are just to many variables to be able to estimate the release date based on the facts given.

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.

Unless they plan on having more time after the beta. There are just to many variables to be able to estimate the release date based on the facts given.

So basically, the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta could be released anytime between May and July. Considering that Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 3: ODST all came out in September, there's a high chance that Halo: Reach will also be released in September. That being said, there's also a high chance that the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta will be released sometime in May. Like you said, there are a lot of variables to estimate the release date, but that doesn't mean that we can't come up with a time frame. My bet is that the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta will be released sometime between May and July, priority on May.
