In Campaign/Firefight, why not.
In non-MLG customs/social MM, why not.
In Arena/MLG customs, hell no :lol

I'm assuming you mean Halo 3 ODST, not Reach. If so, the answer is yes. All ODST copies, used or not, will work for the beta. But Bungie deserves your dough, they work hard, why not grab it new?xray49er said:Not really A halo fan but would love to try the beta. I just recently bought my son the 360 that came with forza III and halo reach. Does anyone know if i can access the beta through the pack in game or does it have to be a brand new store bought halo reach. Thanks in advance

You probably bought the Forza 3/Halo 3: ODST bundle. And yes, you can use that copy of Halo 3: ODST to access the Halo: Reach Beta that begins on May 3rd. You will be able to download the Halo: Reach Beta by accessing the Extras Menu in the Halo 3: ODST title screen.xray49er said:Not really A halo fan but would love to try the beta.

GhaleonEB said:I'm agnostic about the DLC armor.
I tend to get really into unlockables, and find I tend to value in-game stuff I've saved up for or otherwise earned. So I'm probably more likely to be rocking some weird combination of stuff that I unlocked via credits that to be wearing flaming armor that I got from a DLC code. I can remember three or four other games I've bought that had premium DLC with the LE's or as pre-order bonuses, and I gave all of those codes away; they're just not something I value. Which is what's making the Legendary set hard for met to pick up: it's another $70 for a statue. A good looking one, but I'm not sure it's worth $70, since that's the only other differentiator from the middle package.

- Is there going to be Halo 2 style proximity voice?

- I too would be a little sad to see the bubble shield go but it makes sense when the armor lock is around. The best thing about the bubble (or regen) to me was when you saved your teammate with it... they'd be near death and then "pop!" a bubble would be protecting them
- Using a jetpack to hijack a flying vehicle = awesome
- Is there going to be any changes to the method of getting a player-made forge map into the playlists? Come to think of it I'm not sure how it happens now!

This is the last Halo game I'll probably buy. And I have no limited or legendary editions of the other halos so after selling a liver ( I really hope that's the one you have 2 of) I ordered the LE
Speaking of jerk kids. I really hope those search filters work as well as they say it does. It'll make the game much less annoying
Would like to know this as well.timetokill said:Things I'd like to know/see:

:eekIGN: Are you guys talking at all about community tools? I know Forge is in, but Sandbox in ODST was so cool. Anything like that to raise the bar again this time around?

Jacking vehicles via jet packs is something I never thought of, but is almost certainly in. It didn't occur to me, but jet packs are a great way to level the playing field against the team that has Banshees/Falcons.

I also want to get rid of the ridiculously annoying timed Postgame Lobby and go back to the Halo 2 style of stay and talk trash for as long as you want.

So,[I] way[/I] over 9,000.
Things are looking slightly positive, people have been calling/emailing customer support about it, and have been all told that they will be charged just the 60 dollars on release, and that the order won't get canceled, unless having ordered multiple copies of it, or if orders exceed stock. Of course, this could all go to hell in an instant if someone from amazon management just feels like canceling them, without caring about what CS told people.Oozer3993 said:Ditto. If Amazon does honor the $60 deal, then I'll probably buy a regular copy at Walmart at midnight and then sell it when the Legendary arrived.

Does that mean we'll be able to unlock armor sets for the Elites in the Beta?The Elite's going to have armor sets. So he's not going to be tweakable like the Spartan where there's going to be helmets and everything else. There will be armor sets you can unlock for the Elite.
Here's hoping for June 1st.ManCannon said:We are staggering the playlist activation specifically to focus the population and our testing efforts. There will be a point where everything is up though.
We haven't committed to the final duration yet but we'll draw a line in the sand next week so people have some kind of expectation. For now I'm just saying it'll be at least two weeks but shouldn't exceed a month. We will see how the release goes, see how we're tracking for our testing goals and be flexible as the beta progresses. Ultimately though we don't want to run it any longer than we have to. (sorry)

Im butchering his post, but it was a really good point. Im looking forward to seeing the "Deathstar" weapons in full glory before Bungie tone them down.
