Halo Reach Beta Download

Bungie just flipped the switch on Halo: Reach.

How to Get and Play the Halo: Reach Beta

Insert your Halo 3: ODST disc, and you’ll see an option to “Play the Beta” in the main menu.  Hit that menu selection and it will take you to the download screen.  Get some popcorn though, because it’s a 1.15GB download.

Halo Reach Multiplayer Map

Halo: Reach multiplayer beta is just around the corner – May 3.  IGN has the scoop on the new maps with plenty of screenshots and a big interview with Chris Carney and Lars Bakken from Bungie.

While we’re all stoked about getting our hands on some fresh Halo action, it’s clear from reading the interview that we’re all going to be a bunch of guinea pigs as well while Bungie use data from our game play to make the final release of Halo: Reach a better experience for everyone.

May 3 game on.

Halo: Reach Debuting at VGA’s on Dec. 12

Halo Reach

Geoff Keighly of Spike TV dropped the news on Twitter.

The world premiere of HALO: REACH happens only at the 2009 Video Game Awards, Live 12/12 on Spike.

That’ll probably get Spike some more viewers.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Halo back story, Reach is a Human planet where the Covenant (the alien bad guys) wiped out a huge part of our civilization by “glassing” the planet with their alien nukes.  Hence the tagline: “Falls 2010.”  It happened before the first Halo game.

There’s a great book (for those of us geek enough to read novels about Halo) called Halo: The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund that tells the whole story.  It’s a heck of a book, and I hope the game stays true to the storyline (or stays out of the direct plot of the book).
