Currently waiting for the third wave of information.
- Reveal Trailer No Information
- Bungie Invites Magazines to see Reach Wave One
- X10 Wave Two
- Multiplayer reveal Mid-March
- Multiplayer/Beta articles/scoops Mid-April
- Beta May 3rd
Going by the time we have until the Beta and ignoring specific marketing events, that is my best guess. Although I'll admit I'm playing it very safe and I wouldn't be surprised if the things listed start earlier.

You're welcome!Kapura said:
I assume we'll get a similar coverage arc as the recent campaign wave, with the press invited to play Alpha state stuff from the content heading for the public Beta. Then the press coverage migrating to b.net coverage and a vidoc before the Beta starts. Sprinkle in some podcasts and such and we're good.Dani said:

Almost at 30 clips recorded so far estimated at 500 MBs worth of awesome.
Anyway, if you were interested in the kind of quality I'm able to produce, give it a look.
Vimeo (Notice the download link in the bottom right)
Youtubes (Ignore the "Funtage" vid as I was not the one that recorded those, and make sure to set the quality to 720p!)

Nope. Last time the MP reveal took place during the week the Beta rolled. I think that the reason is because they do not want people to judge the multiplayer features out of the word from somebody else. Media channels could fail to express details of the beta and confuse the fans which would generate negative perception. Also, changes such as the third person weapons in Halo 3 could have generated controversy if they had been exposed too early. I would not hold my breath for any substantial info until late April.Dani said:

Hmm, I dont have any clutch kill moves in my fileshare. Will be sure to capture some this weekend for Customs. Always good times on there.
Last time, the MP reveal came before campaign. Snowbound, High Ground and Valhalla were in the December 2006 EGM in pre-alpha form. The final details (weapons, etc.) and vidoc came right before the Beta. We'll get some reveals before then on the MP front.godhandiscen said:

Yeah, I don't think either of us will be doing anything clutch anytime soon, you saw how badly we played last week. Our only hope is for lulz and pretending that it was all intended.
This weekend, you drive. Also, Five, wanna be a sentinel-beam toting passenger just to add to the awesome that will ensue?

That was not really the MP reveal, it was just basically the comfirmation of all the basic stuff that everybody was hoping for. The final details such as what was the equipment, and third person weapons didn't happen until the last week. It really doesn't make sense for Bungie to talk about what makes Reach so different and risky this early during the year. IMO, they should just announce the basics a week or two prior to the beta and then let us experience it on our own.GhaleonEB said:
That's exactly what I was talking about with the "weapons, etc.". The point being, we were already familiar with a great deal of Halo 3's MP game - in particular, the Beta content - before the beta was anywhere close. Maps, weapons, vehicles, etc. Not everything. But a lot.godhandiscen said:
They won't be keeping the details of the Reach Beta under wraps until a few weeks before release.

I agree. We will know about the maps, spartan customization, weapons, etc. However I am pretty sure that Bungie will keep all the game changing stuff really close to its chest.GhaleonEB said:

And here's another little clip from a great HaloGAF match from back in 2008. 15 minute game of Neutral Bomb on Avalanche.
0-0 for almost the entire game until we just manage to capture it in a huge convoy of vehicles at the last possible moment in Sudden Death.

Haven't watched any of those yet but you reminded me of that customs game (M_CTF on Avalanche) in which we were at a stalemate for a good 14 or so minutes, Ghal joins the game, strolls over to the enemy base, grabs the flag and walks it all the way back to ours by himself, uncontested. Good times. =)Zeouterlimits said:

Then there's also Alan Wake, which comes out May 18. Though, none of these games will be a problem if the beta lasts two weeks (hopefully it lasts as long as the H3 beta).dilatedmuscle said:

Good question.EazyB said:
Huh. Unless when I was playing it back last night I missed it or there was an error.
Weird (it was 2am when I made the clip). My mistake I guess. :-/

When did the Halo 3 beta start and end?
A two week span seems reasonable, im going to have to time my Beta playing time well so im thinking I wont touch it until the final day, but absolutely whore it out :lol That was even if I get addicted I cant exactly play it because itl be over.

Original dates were May 16 - June 6. F&F early beta started on May 11.
End date was extended until June 10, to compensate for the Crackdown problems on the 16th. (Most regular Beta participants couldn't really get on until the 17th.)
SO: 31 days for F&F, 24 days for everyone else.

Don't they just make you smile?Syracuse022 said:
EDIT: On second note, since we're getting armor abilities in place of the equipment I guess that means we most likely won't even see a real return of a good tripmine either. =/
EDIT 2: To keep you guys updated I has 60 clips done before I turned in last night thats now leading at 1.15 GBs. What would you guys want out of the credits portion if we have one? I was thinking about dropping in some failtastic clips of mine kinda like how I did before.
