I'm seriously thinking of taking that Monday off to do some Halo: Reach beta testing.

Just read an article on IGN that ended talking about the Beta...
- 2 maps - 1 rather large
- Armor abilities instead of equipment - One is the sprint mode.

am I to assume that the beta is imbedded in the ODST game disc, and that it will be unlocked through XBL on the 3rd? or am i reading too much into the article?

You do have to have the ODST disc, but I'm pretty sure it will be a download.

I can't be certain but I think that it will be something along the lines of they did for Halo 3 beta. When you bought the Crackdown game off the main menu I think there was a link that allowed you to enter the Halo 3 beta. I'm betting that's how they are going to do it with Halo Reach on May 3rd.

That I don't!! I would feel sorry for you but I would MUCH rather be on vacation for a couple weeks with family...AWESOME!!

Looking at that video I definately see some cool things...
- Forward Rolls (Gears of War anyone)
- Jet Packs
- Some kind of shield that can stop a ghost in its tracks.
- Assasinations
- Saw quite a few new weapons that look pretty sweet.

Looks pretty sweet, although I wonder if they're going to have any issues with cheaters in regards to the armor upgrades (if that indeed replaces equipment).

Ok, I'll admit it....as much of a "hater" as I've become over Halo (mostly due to campaign and idiots on XBL...), that looks pretty freakin' sweet.

I like Invasion Slayer a bunch. Looks cool, nice mix of objective with some good old fashioned killing. And is it just me, or does Boneyard have a very familiar Zanzibar/Last Resort feel to it?

Not bad.

Default Re: multiplayer beta

Boneyard looked a whole lot bigger and has more grit than Zanzie. From the previews on Spike I got more of a feeling of Halo 2's "Headlong".
