Halo: Reach multiplayer Beta goes live May 3

Reach 2

It has just been announced that the multiplayer Beta for Halo:Reach will go live on May 3.

The announcement was made during X10 tonight in San Fran.

Reach releases in fall for 360 and if you want in on the Halo: Reach Beta, you’ll need a Halo: ODST disc, according to the Major.

Posted below is a picture of what Keighley said was the official box art. An in-game screen also popped up on Bungie.

Pretty awesome box art: http://img86.yfrog.com/img86/5585/vrb.jpg

Still think the new battle armour just looks dire, however I’m sure the majority of halo fans will approve

There’s a new pic out, with awesome looking scenery and crappy looking enemies: http://www.bungie.net/images/Games/Reach/images/screenshots/Reach-m10_1stperson.jpg

No-where near as dark as people were making out it was going to be either.
