Release of the Week: Halo Reach Beta (360)

Yeah, that’s right. The best game this week is only an open beta. I have made this decision for two reasons. First of all, nothing really notable is coming out other than the Iron Man 2 movie tie in and I don’t like movie games. Secondly, if you have ever been a Halo fan, then this is what you will be playing for the next couple weeks.

While ODST acted more as a supplement to Halo 3, Reach is essentially Halo 4. New maps, new modes and a new(ish) health system are all things that you are going to want to try out before the game is released later this year. Beyond that, Reach will include stealth, jump packs and assassinations. If you are a Halo fan then I’m sure that you already know all about the beta. However, as the Beta started today, I am also sure that you are probably too busy playing the beta to even be bothered read this article.

Just in case you have been living under a rock, you will need have a  copy of Halo: ODST to get into the Beta. From there, you just access the beta from extras menu on campaign disk. Simple as that. Makes me wonder why Modern Warfare 2 never had a beta…
