Join the Halo: Reach Beta

On Monday, May 3rd May 2010, the ® Halo: Multiplayer Beta on Xbox LIVE soil Reach ®. All you need to participate is the Xbox LIVE Gold account, Halo 3: ODST campaign disc, and about 1.2GB free hard drive space.



To download the beta version, just follow these easy steps:

1. Insert the Halo 3: ODST campaign disc and launch the game.



2. Select “Play the Beta” from the main menu. (You won’t see this choice prior to May 3.)



3. The first time you do this, Halo 3: ODST will need to download the beta from Xbox LIVE Marketplace. You’ll see the window below, and you’ll need to select “Confirm Download.



4. When the download has finished, choose “Continue.”



5. You’ll be taken back to the Halo 3: ODST main menu again. Select “Play the Beta” once more.



6. Now that you’ve successfully downloaded the beta, selecting “Play the Beta” will launch the game, instead of downloading it.



7. Enjoy helping us test Halo: Reach, and get that pre-order in so you’ll be ready when the game ships this Fall!



Note: If you received an early invitation to participate in the exclusive Halo: Reach Beta, additional information will start arriving the week of May 3rd. Due to the volume of participants, it may take 48 hours or more for you to receive your token. Be sure to check your email.
