The Halo: Reach Beta Begins Today
We try not to get carried away with video game coverage here, but certain titles are so big that they definitely cross over from the gaming world into popular tech culture. The beta program for Halo: Reach begins today, which means that anyone who purchased Halo 3: ODST will be able to play an early version of the multiplayer segment of Halo: Reach. The upcoming Reach will be the last game developed by Halo creators Bungie, who split off from former owners Microsoft and recently announced a new ten-year partnership with publisher Activision. Future Halo titles will be developed by Microsoft.
To experience the Halo: Reach beta, you’ll need a copy of Halo 3: ODST and an Xbox 360 console with a valid Xbox Live account.
