Halo: Reach to Have The Biggest Console Beta Ever

In an interview with the Seattle Times Brian Jarrard stated that over 3 million people are expected to participate in the upcoming Halo: Reach beta, which would make it the biggest beta ever on a console. Although the game is pretty close to being done they assured the Times that they would be taking data from the beta and making changes to the game.

Bungie believes Reach will be their best Halo game ever and that Microsoft is going to market it in a major way. They say the marketing will be bigger than ODST so hopefully we will see some even better live action commercials.

If this is going to be the last Halo game, at least directly from Bungie, it’s good to hear that they will be going all out in making Reach the definitive Halo experience. All the ViDocs for reach, particularly the newest one, look awesome and I am much more interested in this game already than I ever was in ODST.

It’s good to see that not only are they taking their “final” Halo game seriously as far as the story but they’re also really interested in making the multiplayer the best it’s ever been. It looks like they’re adding new features that will hopefully give the game more staying power against the Modern Warfares and the Battlefields of today.
