"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.
He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."

...For this, all we ask is that you let us keep the plunder we acquire, the credits that are earned...

We won't be carrying your Credits over from the Beta to the retail game. End of story.
EPILOGUE
"Yes sir! O' Captain, My Captain", The brave warriors shouted with forced confidence, glad that their helmets cover the grief breaking out on their faces at the all too expected answer from high command. For they did not come just to question why, but to learn, to do and perhaps to die.
While the plunder they may not keep, and their work may receive no credit, they know they will still have each other, this band of brothers. With only the glory of defeating an enemy and defending each other they boldly mount up on Mongooses and Warthogs and ready themselves for the drive into the valley of death.
Plasma Cannons to the right of them,
Plasma Cannons to the left of them,
Plasma Cannons in front of them
Volley'd & thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they drove and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
And when the Beta is over and upon Reach silence falls, the stories of how these brave warriors fought will be all that is left to tell.
For at least a few more months until Reach comes out.
