Halo: Reach Beta To Run Till May 19th:

Quote:

IGN is reporting this evening that Microsoft has told them that the upcoming Halo: Reach multiplayer beta will run from May 3rd to May 19th.

The site is also reporting that Bungie is set to turn on certain playlists of the beta at certain times throughout its 17 day lifecycle.

When players boot up their copy of ODST on Monday 3rd they will have access to the "Arena mode" (4v4 ranked Team Slayer), a Free-For-All playlist and also some "Grab Bag" playlists - which include a mix of classic and new game types.

The two unique modes won't be available on day 1, with "Invasion" - Spartans vs. Elites - set to be turned on sometime during May 7th and the "Generator Defense" game type seeing the light of day on May 14th.

In other Reach news, anyone who logs and plays at least one full game during the beta will net a cool Halo: Reach beta avatar hoodie, which can be unlocked after one game by browsing your stats in Waypoint - the free to download Halo portal on Xbox Live.

There is also a "Halo Multiplayer Unlock Weekend" making all the three Xbox 360 Halo titles free to play online for all Xbox Live members, starting on May 14th at 9am PDT and ending the same time on May 17th.

Last but not least, to those who own an ODST disc, there is a beta introduction available tomorrow via the game disc, so be sure to boot up the game and check that out.

Bungie's own website states that the Beta will run for a minimum of 2 weeks until they have enough data. Given the number of players, I expect that they will have no trouble achieveing the data required in a timely fashion.

Having said that, Bungie have also said they will be making changes on the fly (that's right, expect title updates frequently) so that may stretch out the Beta.

May 19 is the date their running with at the moment, but hopefully we get it a bit longer than that.

Here's Your Extended Halo: Reach Live Action Short:

If somehow you've been living under a rock or not cared enough for Halo that you'll go round Xbox Live chasing up new trailers, then we can finally bring you the full 2 minutes plus of the recently released Halo: Reach live "action" short.

Whilst certainly a bit longer than the original one that was aired in the TV world on Tuesday night, as I've said before it's not really that spectacular. Decent, but a step down from previous Halo live action shorts.

Worth a watch though while you wait for Monday's beta. Check it out now.

I watched the vid that you access via ODST, it's not that impressive. Some annoying chic spouting off in video form all the stuff you can find on Bungies website. Nothing new.

If you have a Bungie account now would be the time to check it for a code, I can see that Skitzy is on, check out his stats if you want to see how they are being reported.
