Bungie believe Halo Reach beta will be epic
Could be bigger than Crackdown test...
Those purchasing this winter's Halo 3: ODST will be given access to a special Halo Reach beta, that we already know. What's more, Bungie reckon this could be an even bigger initiative than the bundling of Halo 3's multiplayer test alongside Crackdown.
"The only way to access this beta will be through the Halo 3: ODST disc, so we feel there's another extremely compelling reason for both fans and newcomers to the franchise to experience Halo 3: ODST," European boss Steve McGill told MCV.
"We saw the success of this mechanic with the Halo 3 multiplayer beta that came on the Crackdown game disc and the continued sales momentum and excitement generated around that title throughout its lifecycle, and we fully expect Halo 3: ODST to exceed that achievement. It's a great way to extend the shelf life of the title at retail, and allows us to deliver some cool and creative sustained marketing activity around the game throughout 2010."
Halo 3: ODST will be out later next week. We'll have a review for you on Sunday.
