No magazines will get exclusive playable builds of Reach until after the playable beta. Discuss.

I think this because as the recent leaked screenshots (sorry but theres no point denying it any longer bungie) have proved Halo:Reach is still not perfect
The graphics are still not polished and there are still many things which may be cut.
Anyway I believe no magazine-exclusive previews will happen until after the multiplayer beta because the multiplayer beta will happen when bungie feels it is ready and not before,the same will apply for all.

Opinions?

Thank you, Captain K Mart.

How can you rate the graphics of an unfinished game based off of possibly fake camera phone picture?

Does anyone else see how absurd this is, or am I alone?


But, to answer your actual question, I would be surprised if there were playable demos from magazines. It's never happened with a Halo game before. In fact, they've never gotten a demo on the XBLM.

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

They probably aren't fake.

However I do not think anyone with a brain should care. It is so early, so far from Beta, that we could be playing something completely different by the release of beta.

For all we know, they are Fake but Bungie would like us to think otherwise.

In the end, who cares? these pictures wont matter the closer the Beta comes.

...It's a multiplayer beta. So far, we haven't seen anything about multiplayer. Don't you think that since Bungie is going to be releasing the multiplayer beta first, that they would be putting more effort into polishing up the multiplayer half of the game than the campaign half of the game?

Please don't make silly assumptions about things that might not even be real.

You ever notice that the Plasma rifle looks like a small bird staring downward folded in half?

Going on the symmetrical nature of the gun, it resembles a bird looking at its reflection in the water.

Supposedly the cover page with Mass Effect 2 was just concept art by the Magazine's owner of what the magazine could look like.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

We don't even know how old that build is. Those leaked cellphone pics could be from the pre-alpha stage for all we know.

It's simple, look at H3 and the huge media coverage. Every game media retailer had somethin about H3 long before it came out. EGM got the first scoop on multiplayer, so magazines will get them. For all we know those leaked pics are from a magazine playable build. Its Nov. and bungie said the game comes out in 2010, chances are it will be Fall of 2010. So the Beta will be coming soon, just wait and understand the press will see and play before we do. Why, Money talks.

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

OXM will probably get their hands on a build, since their the OFFICIAL XBOX magazine.

Microsoft would probably insist.
