Halo: Reach beta details from Bungie

Beta to be a "good representative sampling of the final game" says community man
Bungie's community man Brian Garrard has let slip a few more details on what you can expect to see in this summer's Halo: Reach beta.

Speaking to Microsoft's Xbox Live Editor (via TLG) Gerrard explained, "It basically will represent a sub-section of almost every main portion of the game. For example, we'll have a couple of the new armour abilities that we've been talking about which are sort of the new version of equipment which have pretty immense implications for gameplay.

"So some of those will be in there, some of the weapons will be in there, we'll have a subset of maps, we'll have a subset of game-types some of which are returning favourites, some are brand new that people don't even know about yet.

He added, "So, all in all it's going to be a really good representative sampling of the final game. But of course we're going to hold back some stuff as we've got a long way to go until the fall and we want people to have some stuff to look forward to."

Garrard?? Gerrard?!?

Pretty sure his name's Brian Jarrard. Subs??

On topic, I am really looking forward to the beta. Reach is looking very promising.

Can't wait- see you guys online.

It is Jarrard, Ror1984. The guys at CVG up too late/early?

I'm looking forward to Reach, even knowing the story, especially after watching Halo Legends, the episode the package made me crap with excitement for Reach, just dont do an ODST and balls up the balancing

It would seem so! Surely they have subs to check these things though.

It just made me giggle a bit, that's all.

To think the beta is less than three months away now. I can't wait to get to grips with Bungie's latest.

MrPirtniw, love your sig btw!

Very Happy Another Boosh fan? Thumbs up to you sir. It was a tough call between that or "Coming at you like a flanal."

Haha, or you could have gone with a bit of "Locked in a box with a c**kney nutjob, 'ave a cuppa tea, 'ave a cuppa tea!"

Or maybe I should go with that!

Im looking forward to this game so much and I am real shocked that no Sony fan boys have commented on this yet?
TW15T3D on 22 Feb '10
I've got a PS3 so can I count as the fan boy comment?

Honestly I wish I could play Halo as loved the original. Now Sainsburys have a 360 for £150 I'm very tempted.........

Sorry meant to be a fan boy

Yeah Halo suckz!

OMG I'm starting to get pretty excited haha. It's amazing that I can be more excited about a BETA than a full game... May the 3rd is pretty close now.
Little Moth on 22 Feb '10
If anyone on here is an active Halo player, I would love to get some more british/european friends to play with.

PM me and we can all join up online, whatever your abilities I don't care. I just want an all brit team for once.
