Halo beta Reach-es until May 19

i got it!!! but i cant play beacuse I dont have gold :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

@bscroth By aiming I meant you cant look down your sight lol. Wow thats a lotta thumbs down lol

@iucidium I'm pretty sure MLG has already done that, but that's beside the point. Activision does not own Bungie, they are just publishing for Bungie. They can't do anything.

niceeeeeeeeeeeee

@Hotchip123 What you saw is not considered a one-hit melee kill, it is being called an assassination kill.

The multiplayer ODST disc? I hope so. That's all I have. :P

@Cupid, but then no one, will want to take the risk, only if your the only two people in the room. Plus, I saw in the recent beta game play video, a red guy punch the enemy in the back like in halo 3, and it was a one hit KO, but they said that they took out the one hit KO.

So we all get to play halo on LIVE free even only for a few days, ms should occasionally do this for other games,it could get them more subscribers

Damn you college...damn you 15 page papers...damn you finales...damn you teachers who don't realize we have other classes as well...and that there is a beta going on!!! Curse you All!!! Well, atleast I will have 4 days to play it :)

@Hotchip123: assassinations in Reach are SUPPOSED to take time like that. It's a risk-reward scenario

firefight was ok, the story was crap in odst. I can already say one thing that needs to be changed in reach, the time it takes to assassinate someone is too long. someone could kill you in the process or take your kill.

@pointlessfool: I'm fed up with activision sucking every avenue of gaming dry. They will single-handedly kill off innovation

@deathstream I disagree mate, ODST was an awesome game,,,reach will be awesome,,,halo is just awesome :D

@MrBubbles59 Two weeks of beta testing isn't worth the shame of knowing that you paid for a game as bad ODST.

God, it's great to own an Xbox 360!

That is a short Beta.

I wish I had ODST so I can play this.

Im so reaching out for this game

4 more days! :D (I know that some people are playing now)

looking forward to trying the beta, my avatar will love his hoodie.

I thought it would run a little longer than that. But hey i'm not complaining. I'm sure they'll find bugs and there will be another beta version out before the launch date.

i think it's pretty funny that so many sites got give-a-way codes for reach, but gamespot didnt.

Just two weeks isn't very long at all. When is the game itself out?

i have odst but im thinking about not even playing the beta. Just for the fact that i want to be surprised by everything.

The Halo franchise has become one of the most over-rated franchises in the business. Along with COD and just about everything out of EA Sports.

I am still going to play till they kick me off like I did in the Halo 3 beta... It is just cool by the fact that I will have a hoodie for my avatar without paying for that crap!

that's really cool. sounds like plenty of time to check it out see what its about before i pick it up this fall. Good call Bungie!

Your upset cause they are letting you play the game 6 months early? People are too spoiled and don't appreciate how awesome this will be.

WHAT?!?!?!?! I've been looking forwards to this so much AND IT LASTS FOR HALF A MONTH???? :( I'm super upset

@iucidium Bizarre Creations, another former Microsoft owned studio, is publishing their new game, Blur, under Activision as well, and Infinity Ward is really just shifting ownership to EA as Respawn Entertainment, so what is the big issue? It's not like Halo, is going away, 343 Studios has that covered, so why does it matter that Activision is picking up Bungie's next few games?

I think I will only play this game the entire beta time lol

Tough i don't own a xbox 360 i'm still anxious for ti XD XD

ending beta so soon is a bad idea, for the simple fact that when bugs are found they need to be fixed. so why would you not test that fix as well. anyone who has beta tested an mmo knows that.

Bungie didn't make Halo Wars and the was a great RTS for a console. People could actually play that game with a controller. Halo 3 beta only lasted 2 weeks. This beta is for you and they will be able to get the data done in 2 weeks then you have to wait 3 1/2 months to play again don't complain. Also the beta looks like it will be awesome.

i blew the dust off of ODST & had a blast playing fire fight w/ my homie yesterday. They really messed up not creating matchmaking for fire fight.

And this is what they DON'T want you to know... http://www.develop-online.net/news/34658/Activision-deal-is-a-new-chapter-in-Bungies-history?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+developmag%2Fifbh+%28Develop%29

Free XBL for 3 days!

yay i will be able to still play |(a bit) even though my gold ran out.

Maybe I should get a copy of ODST, I genuinely want to play that anyways.... Halo: Reach looks amazing so does the pics and vids I've seen of it's multiplayer.....

@Gamesmasterx obviously you did not read the article cause it says may 3rd and i guess you have not seen any videos of halo reach either because every single one says may 3rd. Nice Job

@incubus420 all they said was "multiple platforms", meaning it could be Xbox 360/PC or PC/Wii or any combination that includes 2 or more consoles, not necessarily just 360/ps3.

@ Incubus420 you are correct Microsoft are gonna continue making halo games themselves since reach is bungies last venture into the halo universe can't blame them for wanting to try something new

@ deadlysilence82: Dude, I am in the same boat as you! I bought ODST three days ago becasue I thought that the beta would be at least a couple months! Now wtf am I going to do with ODST???

Anyone hear that Bungie has signed with Activision and that they will now be making games for both the 360 and the PS3. I doubt they will make any more Halo games but its good to see that Microsoft is losing their biggest money maker from the past 8 years.

Great i wasted money on ODST two days ago so i can play the beta for half of month that is so damn lame . ODST sucked . They should at least keep the servers up for a whole month.

Good cause ODST sucked. Most overrated expansion of all time. Maybe worth the money I payed for it with the Beta

@stryder_18... that sucks dude, I finish my finals today :)

Who's ingenius idea was it to start this beta on the 3rd anyways? Don't they know that the majority of their target market has finals and stuff at that time! Do they really want us to fail our tests, because I know I'm going to be playing this instead of studying lol.

@Gamesmasterx Did you not read the first sentence of the article?

@bschroth I'm pretty sure what lordlunch2 means if how fluid the aiming system works in the Halo series, which doesn't feel nearly as natural as Modern Warfare or some of these other FPS games.
