Not with a bang but a whimper.

I was wondering if there was going to be an age limit to access the Halo: Reach beta. If you go to the market place and try to download RP or M demos or paraphanilia (sp) it won't allow you to unless you have an adult account. The age limit may not be in effect though because ODST is rated M and the beta will be accessed from ODST.

If little kids can play Halo 3, im sure anyone could play the beta.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

I doubt it, if you were able to buy ODST, I figure they'll let you download Reach beta.

No there's no age limit, just bad parents.

Heh. No, I was talking about an under 18 (or 17 not entirely sure which) age limit. Besides, some 12-year-olds can be mature.

Big Team Battle Multiflag/Slayer on Standoff/Valhalla/Sandtrap/Avalanche = Win

Yeah whenever you start the disc, that little bar asking for your birth date comes up and everyone will just type Jan 1st 1970 to bypass it.

Hah. That isn't how the age limit works for the Xbox-live market place.

52,000 kills in Halo 2 and more legendary playthroughs in CE than you can imagine. I am truly a God.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

There is the requirement that you have a copy of H3:ODST.

I think Spring '09 is the only given release date.
