Do we have a confirmation they have begun?

I believe we had one some time ago, but by dunno who.

"No, Hoobla. No."

Pretty sure some stuff has happened but I feel like most the testing has yet to come.

We know they had people called in via the survey to the studio to do some sort of testing, but have heard nothing since. It seems they aren't supposed to talk about things so we probably won't hear anything until Bungie wants us to.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Yeah, but it is hush - hush, top secret.

Thought so. I believe it has to do with the site.

I doubt they're in beta stages yet. I don't know how far along they are.

Ask DeeJ, he was called in to test their new IP before he became assistant community manager.

Also this is not really for the game, but likely for the project as a whole. The game is just one portion.

Wonder who was invited though.

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

I agree, compare Halo 3's and Halo Reach's beta release date to the full game's release date.

Here's my twitter, in the off-chance you want that too.

Sorry, no one who's actually participated can talk about it.
It would imply that Beta testing has been going on for a few months.

My name is Mark Mezzetta and I was a beta tester for Bungie's game Oni and Take Two's game Myth 3: The Wolf Age.

This is from the Bungie User Research page:

"Potential missions include:
Playtests and Usability Testing at Bungie
Surveys on game playing habits
Alpha and Beta Testing for our next game"

Given on Bungie Day it said they were play testing the game, one would probably assume they are in the alpha testing stage, not beta testing.

The game has been in development since ODST. I'd hope they'd be a little further in the development cycle than Alpha testing.

The woodpecker sighs,
"The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies."
While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely;
Crying to the moon,
"If only, if only."

They still have a year until release. Even if they could be further, why should they be.

Sundalius Has Bungie started reaching out for Beta Testers already?

We most certainly have! Our User Research team has very specific curiosities in mind when they tap a Beta Tester on the shoulder. The mazes that they build into their Laboratorium are meticulously customized for the people they choose to run through them. If you have yet to be selected, sit tight - and make sure that the email address attached to your profile is one that you still check. Your time may yet come.

Jerome ate them.
That's why they haven't spoke.
